  • Publication number: 20110045251
    Abstract: Provided is a gas barrier film including a layer of a resin composition (C) on at least one side of a substrate (D), wherein the resin composition (C) contains a water soluble or water dispersible polymer (A) and a swellable inorganic layered silicate (B), where the swellable inorganic layered silicate (B) satisfying expressions (1) and (2) below is used. 11.0?D?2.0 ?m (1), ??1.8 ?m (2), wherein D and a are a logarithmic average particle diameter of the swellable inorganic layered silicate (B) measured by laser diffraction and standard deviation of a particle size distribution thereof, respectively. This provides a gas barrier film including a resin composition layer, with a swellable inorganic layered silicate dispersed therein, having an extremely excellent gas barrier property and a method of producing a multilayer barrier film having the resin composition layer with extremely less irregularities on a surface thereof.

  • Patent number: 7805240
    Abstract: A driving behavior prediction apparatus includes, for accurately predicting a driving behavior, a position calculation unit for a subject vehicle position calculation, a route setting unit for setting a navigation route, a distance calculation unit for calculating a distance to a nearest object point, a parameter storage unit for storing a template weighting factor that reflects a driving operation tendency of a driver, a driving behavior prediction unit for predicting a driver's behavior based on vehicle information and the template weighting factor, a driving behavior recognition unit for recognizing driver's behavior at the object point, and a driving behavior learning unit for updating the template weighting factor so as to study the driving operation tendency of the driver in a case that a prediction result by the driving behavior prediction unit agrees with a recognition result by the driving behavior recognition unit.

  • Patent number: 7187391
    Abstract: The present invention provides a technology that enables related portions of multiple pages of images to be displayed simultaneously. A projection display apparatus comprises: an image extraction section that extracts at least a portion of given first image data as an extraction image; an extraction image memory for storing extraction image data representing the extraction image; an image overlay section that generates overlaid image data by superimposing the extraction image on an original image represented by given second image data; a light modulation unit that is driven responsive to the overlaid image data pixel by pixel; and an optical system for projecting onto the screen the overlaid image obtained by the light modulation unit. A projection display apparatus can display related portions of multiple pages of images simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 7176850
    Abstract: The present invention provides a technology that enables projection images to be overlaid with embellishment effects without depending on the capabilities of the image supply apparatus. A projection display apparatus that projects images onto a screen responsive to given image data, comprises: an embellishment effect memory for storing embellishment effect data representing an embellishment effect image that can be used to embellish an arbitrary image; an image embellishment section that generates embellished image data by overlaying an original image represented by the given image data and the embellishment effect image; a light modulation unit that is driven responsive to the embellished image data pixel by pixel; and an optical system for projecting onto the screen the embellished image obtained by the light modulation unit. A projection display apparatus superimposes the embellishment effect on the projected image without having to rely on the capabilities of an image supply apparatus.
