  • Patent number: 6441864
    Abstract: A video signal processing device includes an address generator to calculate a transformation matrix for three-dimensionally transforming an image to a “blue board” area. The transformation is based on corner positions of the blue board area of a video signal and those of an image area of a source video signal to be inserted. Address information is calculated for reading the source video signal from a memory based on an inverse matrix of the transformation matrix. In this way, the image area to be inserted can be three-dimensionally transformed and automatically inserted into the blue board area, without requiring an operator to input parameters indicative of a post-transformation state.

  • Publication number: 20020060490
    Abstract: According to a conventional hydraulic-pump-type barber or beauty chair having legs which spread out, radiately and in parallel to a floor surface, from the lower part of a pump, a seat part itself is large and heavy, which results in a high center of gravity. Thus, the chair can quite possibly turn over while it is moved. Further, the legs are arranged at the lower position on the floor surface and are arranged in parallel to the floor surface, resulting in a difficult cleaning under the legs. The present invention is provided with a ring-shaped bracket for fixing the legs with sandwiching the upper part of the hydraulic pump, the upper bracket, and the cylinder part, one another, thereby realizing a design, wherein the legs are radiately arranged therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20010037523
    Abstract: During performance of shampooing employing a movable hair washing stand, when the hair washing agents such as a shampoo agent and a treatment agent, and the hair washing tools are kept in a cabinet which is provided separately from a hair washing stand, the hair washing stand might be away from the cabinet. Therefore, when the hair washing agents and the hair washing tools are necessary during the performance of shampooing, a person for shampooing needs to go for the same to the cabinet on every occasion, which results in an impediment to his works.
