Patent number: 9430992Abstract: A first look-up table (10) outputs a result of dividing a horizontal component of a pixel address in the block by number of pixels in a horizontal component of the cell. A second look-up table (12) outputs a result of dividing a vertical component of a pixel address in the block by number of pixels in a vertical component of the cell. A third look-up table (14) outputs a residue as a result of dividing a horizontal component of a pixel address in the block by number of pixels in a horizontal component of the cell. A fourth look-up table (16) outputs a residue as a result of dividing a vertical component of a pixel address in the block by number of pixels in a vertical component of the cell. The output values of the first and second look-up tables (10,12) are addresses of the cell for burst access to the memory. The output values of the third and fourth look-up tables (14,16) are used as pixel addresses in the cell.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2011Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: NTT ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Yasuhiro Yamada, Norihiko Nagai

Patent number: 9286018Abstract: An image processing device carries out processing in a processing unit of 3-blocks. Data of 192(=64×3)-pixels is required in the processing of 3-blocks. This is an amount of data corresponding to 16-cells. When 3-blocks and 16-cells are arranged along an scanning direction of an image, both ends of them in the scanning direction are aligned.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2011Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: NTT Electronics CorporationInventors: Yasuhiro Yamada, Norihiko Nagai

Patent number: 8408002Abstract: A gas turbine combustor includes a pilot burner, a plurality of main burners disposed around the main burners on the radially outer side. Each of the main burners (2) includes an extension tube disposed at the downstream end. The outlet of the extension tube is shaped to have a radial edge which is parallel to the radial direction. In this manner, occurrence of flashback is effectively prevented.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2005Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Atsushi Moriwaki, Masataka Ohta, Keijiro Saitoh, Satoshi Tanimura, Shinji Akamatsu, Norihiko Nagai

Patent number: 8204105Abstract: A quantization step determination part inputs an evaluation value (ACT_MB) indicating the dispersion in a macroblock and its average value (ACT_PIC). A subtracter obtains the difference between these values, and a multiplier multiplies the difference by raq (<1) to obtain a weighting value. Next, an adder adds the weighting value to an average quantization step value of source data, and finally a multiplier multiplies the sum by a step value adjustment factor ? (>1) to obtain a converted quantization step value (Qstep_AVC). This optimizes a bit allocation in accordance with an Activity value of the macroblock, to thereby improve the quality of image.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2007Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignees: MegaChips Corporation, NTT Electronics CorporationInventors: Hiromu Hasegawa, Nobuyuki Takasu, Mayumi Okumura, Akira Okamoto, Takashi Matsumoto, Norihiko Nagai

Patent number: 8072359Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a binary arithmetic coding device that allows real-time processing with a higher image quality. At a timing at which a ternary data string for a target bit is outputted, an updated coding range width and an updated range width of less probability are outputted. For that reason, while a binary conversion unit (32) and an f value retention processor (33) convert the ternary data string into a binary data string to output a coded bit, a binary arithmetic re-normalization unit (31) is allowed to perform a processing of binary arithmetic coding for the next bit.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2008Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: NTT Electronics CorporationInventors: Shigeru Kasuya, Norihiko Nagai
