  • Publication number: 20130328899
    Abstract: A DMA controller reads image information recorded on a ROM by address unit from a front reading start position. A shift operator shifts a first data sequence of one row of the reading by only a designated number of bits, and generates a second data sequence. A DMA controller reads a third data sequence already stored in a VRAM writing start position. A controller performs a prescribed operation on the second data sequence and the third data sequence, and generates a fourth data sequence. The controller writes the generated fourth data sequence successively in a horizontal direction by address unit from the VRAM writing start position.

  • Publication number: 20130293560
    Abstract: A DMA controller operates independently from a CPU, reads image data stored on an ROM sequentially in given units from the first reading start position of the image data and writes the image data into a buffer. A DMA controller operates independently from the CPU, writes the data read into the buffer to a VRAM one byte at a time from the writing start position. The controller of a companion chip updates the writing start position in the VRAM to the position of the same column in the next row each time writing the data string in each row is completed.

  • Patent number: 8476895
    Abstract: A power measuring system, a measuring apparatus, a load terminal, and a device control system are provided. A voltage sensor detects a voltage waveform, and a current sensor acquires a current waveform, of a power line in a noncontact manner. A load terminal operates to connect the power line and a voltage measuring terminal to measure a current flowing from the power line to a load and to calculate a voltage value from the measured current value and the load. The load terminal transmits, in response to a request from a measuring apparatus, the measured current value and the calculated voltage value to the measuring apparatus via a communication means. A control portion of the measuring apparatus receives the current value and the voltage value from the load terminal. The control portion calculates a power value based on the received current value, voltage value voltage waveform and current waveform.

  • Publication number: 20130057468
    Abstract: Unit data, which constitutes digital data is extracted as 8-bit units of parallel data by a control section and outputted to a buffer. Thereafter, in a process where the unit data is transmitted from a serial interface to a display unit, the unit data is converted to parallel data in a format required by the display unit. Thereby, it becomes unnecessary for the control section to perform processing of converting the digital data to a format required by the display unit. Consequently, the load on the control section is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20120120092
    Abstract: The display color of, for example, a button image responsive to a command input into a facility operation display device is controlled by a palette value having a smaller number of bits than an RGB value. When the display color of the button image is changed, the palette value of a drawing object associated with the button image is changed to an RGB value. This eliminates the necessity of incorporating, for example, a high-performance CPU as a central arithmetic unit. In addition, it is not necessary to pre-store images corresponding to several kinds of display colors specified by RGB values, to thereby eliminates the necessity of incorporating, for example, a high-capacity storage medium in the facility operation display device. Accordingly, the device cost can be reduced.
