  • Publication number: 20150026632
    Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, setting change of a parameter can be performed while checking the content of all parameters on the list screen without screen transition of the list screen. Parameters of a desired page can be set at the same time even if a use condition or the like of the device is changed, or only part of the parameters can be corrected and set. Therefore, a plurality of parameters can be quickly and appropriately set by minimum operation.

  • Publication number: 20140176686
    Abstract: A subject whose disparity amount is to be adjusted is selected with a cross key. An identification mark representing the subject is displayed on a two-dimensional graph in an assistance window. Both the disparity amount corresponding to a vertical axis and distance information corresponding to a horizontal axis are explicitly indicated. A guide mark is displayed close to the identification mark. The guide mark, being an arrow, indicates a direction in which the disparity amount of the subject decreases. The identification mark and the guide mark are shifted along the vertical axis in accordance with an operation for adjusting the disparity amount, and displayed. A disparity amount adjustment circuit is activated to adjust the disparity amount of the subject. When the identification mark is shifted to a position between displayed lines, which indicate an appropriate range, the guide mark disappears.

  • Patent number: 8633998
    Abstract: Provided are an imaging apparatus and a display apparatus capable of taking a plurality of plane images in different photographing ranges and storing a display method of the plane images along with the taken plane images to arrange a reproduction method during imaging. When moving images are taken by a tele/wide simultaneous imaging mode, the moving images are displayed, and the moving images are recorded every certain time (for example, one second). In parallel with recording of the images, information associating a display method displayed on a monitor with an elapsed time from the start of imaging is stored in ancillary information. When a change in the display method is instructed, a CPU 110 switches the display of a monitor 16 to set the designated display method and stores information on designation of display method in the ancillary information in the next recording.

  • Patent number: 8445067
    Abstract: A method for coating a dispersion slurry containing a solid SAP dispersed in a dispersion medium on a surface of a substrate sheet are provided. The method is characterized in that a first region and a second region are formed on the surface of the substrate sheet with a convex-and-concave pattern wherein the first region have the coating layer in thicker thickness and the second region have the coating layer in thinner thickness or does not scarcely have the coating layer, by means of positioning the rotating pattern roll over the substrate sheet via the cover film, of supplying the dispersion slurry between the substrate sheet and the cover film while rotating the rotating pattern roll, and of pushing the coating layer with the rotating pattern roll via the cover film, when the coating layer of the dispersion slurry is formed.

  • Publication number: 20110234881
    Abstract: Provided is a display apparatus that allows viewing a plurality of plane images in different photographing ranges with high visibility. Two images in different photographing ranges (an image of the telephoto side and an image of the wide side) are taken in a tele/wide simultaneous shooting mode, and the two images are stored in one image file (for example, MP file). The display apparatus acquires the image file and displays the two images on a monitor by a display method stored in ancillary information of the image file. A change in the display method can be inputted from an designation device. If the display method is inputted, a CPU causes the monitor to display the images by the changed display method. If the display method is inputted, the ancillary information of the image file is overwritten by the inputted display method and stored in a main memory.
