  • Promoters
    Patent number: 6770475
    Abstract: A promoter having a higher activity than that of an &agr;-amylase promoter of a microorganism of the genus Bacillus can be provided by introducing at least one restriction site sequence in the vicinity of the 3′ end of the promoter of the &agr;-amylase derived from the microorganism of the genus Bacillus.

  • Image processing system that includes discrimination of an interpolation direction
    Patent number: 5920654
    Abstract: In an image processing system, an outline correction of image data and a smoothing for noise removal are performed. Generally, the outline correction is performed by emphasizing a high frequency component, and the smoothing is performed by removing the high frequency component. Within one image data, by properly switching the emphasizing and the removal of the high frequency component, while the outline correction is carried out, the noise removal can be performed. An absolute value of a high frequency component Fa extracted from the image data Pi by a first differential filter is compared with a discrimination threshold value K, and depending on the comparison result, either Fa or -Fa as the correction data Fo is selected by a selector and is added to the image data Pi. As a result, when Fo=Fa, the high frequency component is emphasized, and when Fo=-Fa, smoothing is performed. A pixel interpolation and a multi picture formation are also disclosed.
