  • Motor control circuit and servo device provided with the same
    Patent number: 8729849
    Abstract: When a servo device receives the frequency setting signal as a control signal through the receiver from the transmitter, it select the information in conformity with the received frequency setting signal among the driving frequency setting information as stored in advance. When the handling signal is input as the control signal by the transmitter, the servo device is configured to transform the difference data taken synchronously with the difference data timing signal from the pulse width comparison part into the selected driving frequency. The servo device is configured to generate the driving signal from the transformed difference data signal of the desired corresponding count value range, and to perform drive control the driving feature.

  • Image decoding device and image decoding method
    Patent number: 8718139
    Abstract: An image decoding device method for obtaining image signals by decoding compressed data of digital moving image signals in a 4:4:4 format is disclosed. An identification signal is decoded, the identification signal indicating whether three color component signals have been encoded in a common encoding mode or in independent encoding modes. The common encoding mode corresponds to a process of encoding the three color component signals of one frame by a common macroblock type information and the independent encoding mode corresponds to a process of encoding the three color component signals of one frame by an individual independent macroblock type information. The three color component signals are decoded in a common encoding mode or in independent encoding modes according to the identification signal.

  • ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLED COMPONENT
    Publication number: 20140065872
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembled component includes a first connector and a second connector, which can fit and separate to/from each other along an axis. The first connector includes a first housing, and the second connector has a second housing. The first housing has a flexible section formed with a slit groove that penetrates in the radial direction in the fitting tube, and the flexible section has a locking section that protrudes inward in the radial direction from the cylindrical fitting surface. The second housing includes a locked section, in which there is formed an engaging step-like section that contacts with the locking section in the fitting process so as to elastically flex and displace the locking section to allow movement in the fitting direction to the locking position and locks with the locking section in the connector-removal direction.

  • Image decoding device and image decoding method for decoding compressed data
    Patent number: 8655087
    Abstract: There are provided an encoding device, a decoding device, an encoding method, and a decoding method that enhance optimality in a case of encoding moving image signals having no sample ratio distinction between color components such as a 4:4:4 format. In a case of conducting compression encoding by inputting digital moving image signals of the 4:4:4 format, there are prepared a first encoding process of encoding three color component signals of the input moving image signals in a common encoding mode, and a second encoding process of encoding the three color component signals of the input moving image signals in respective independent encoding modes. The encoding process is executed by selecting any one of the first encoding process and the second encoding process, and the compression data contains an identification signal for specifying which process is selected.
