Patent number: 9424040Abstract: An LSI includes an address decoder in which combinations of IP cores and control registers simultaneously accessed according to an operation mode signal are set in advance, so that the plurality of control registers can be accessed with a single system address signal. Therefore, it is unnecessary that the CPU is provided with selection signals whose number is equal to that of the combinations of the control registers. This reduces coding work for operating CPU, reducing work in developing a program of the CPU.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2013Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yusuke Shimai, Osamu Toyama, Yoshihiro Ogawa

Patent number: 9117135Abstract: A corresponding point candidate determiner (108) determines whether plural correlation peaks appear, based on a correlation value calculated by a corresponding point determiner (107). In the case where the corresponding point candidate determiner (108) determines that plural correlation peaks appear, the corresponding point determiner (107) calculates a ratio between the correlation values as represented by the correlation peaks, determines one or more corresponding points, based on the calculated ratio, and notifies the determination result to an initial position setter (106). In the case where the corresponding point determiner (107) searches plural corresponding points, the initial position setter (106) sets an initial search position with respect to each of the corresponding points in a reference image of a layer immediately higher than a target layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2012Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: KONICA MINOLTA, INC.Inventors: Hironori Sumitomo, Osamu Toyama
