  • Publication number: 20210366324
    Abstract: A content generation method generates image content to be projected at a projection position in a real space by a projector. In a first acquisition process, space information regarding a virtual space corresponding to the real space is acquired. In a second acquisition process, display position information regarding a display position corresponding to the projection position in the virtual space is acquired. In a third acquisition process, reference position information regarding a reference position in the virtual space is acquired. In a generation process, an image including an object viewed from the reference position when the object is displayed at the display position in the virtual space is generated as the image content, based on the space information, the reference position information, and the display position information.

  • Patent number: 10872440
    Abstract: An image signal processing device receives image signals from source devices and outputs image signals via a plurality of communication paths. The image signal processing device includes a plurality of compression circuits, a transmission circuit and a path/compression-rate setting circuit. The plurality of compression circuits compress image signals to be transmitted via the plurality of communication paths. The transmission circuit outputs the image signals compressed. The path/compression-rate setting circuit, based on each data amount of the image signals received, determines a communication path for transmitting a part or the whole of each of the image signal, and sets a common compression rate for all of the plurality of compression circuits. The path/compression-rate setting circuit divides an image signal having a relatively large data amount, and assigns a part of the divided image signal to a communication path for transmitting an image signal having a relatively small data amount.

  • Patent number: 10802031
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a biomarker capable of determining the onset risk or the stage of diabetic nephropathy (early-stage diabetic nephropathy in particular). Diabetic nephropathy is determined by measuring or quantitatively determining a concentration of phenyl sulfate or a salt thereof (a phenyl sulfate) contained in a biological sample, preferably plasma or urine, collected from a test subject to detect a phenyl sulfate. The present invention exhibits excellent effects particularly for stage determination for stage 1 (pre-nephropathy stage) to stage 3 (overt nephropathy stage), or for determination of onset risk of diabetic nephropathy (diabetic nephropathy at pre-nephropathy stage).
