  • Patent number: 5640206
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus comprises: a color separation optical system for separating an image ray into blue, green, and red image rays, image sensors, having pixels vertically and horizontally arranged, for receiving the image rays and producing blue, red, and green signals wherein at least one of image sensors for blue and red signals has a vertical relative offset against the image sensor for green signal to have a relative interlace relation with the image sensor for blue or red color signal, to produce a screen to be produced, having a higher resolution than these image sensors. A vertical high frequency component is operated from the blue and red signals and is added to the green color signal to produce a second green signal indicative of is a green luminance value at a position corresponding to each pixel of the image sensors for blue and red color signals to increase the vertical resolution of the screen.

  • Patent number: 5493662
    Abstract: In an apparatus for use in a computer system for accessing to a main memory when a desired datum is not memorized in a cache memory, a supplementary memory is included in the apparatus for memorizing a supplementary datum representative of a predetermined address in the main memory. When the desired datum is not memorized in a particular address of the cache memory, a judging circuit produces a particular signal. By a combination of the supplementary datum and the particular signal, an access control part accesses to the main memory to read a specific datum of the main data as the desired datum from the main memory. The specific datum is stored in the particular address from the access control part. The described system can be used for both tagged and untagged data, allowing for compatibility between data systems using different tagging schemes.

  • Patent number: 4903135
    Abstract: An automatic focusing apparatus having a focusing lens system and an image pickup device for converting a light beam incident thereon into the corresponding electrical signal. The automatic focusing apparatus is arranged so that focusing is performed in accordance with the focus voltage obtained from a predetermined high-frequency component of the electrical signal, on the basis of the fact that the level of the focus voltage corresponds to the sharpness of the resultant image. The focus voltage is successively compared with each of a plurality of reference voltages predetermined to be increased in steps. The focusing lens system is controlled in position in accordance with a comparison between the first reference voltage agreeing with one of the focus voltages and the second reference voltage agreeing with another focus voltage so that the focusing lens system approaches the focus position.
