HEVC Deblocking Filter

Abstract: This paper describes the in-loop deblocking filter used in the upcoming High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard to reduce visible artifacts at block boundaries. The deblocking filter performs detection of the artifacts at the coded block boundaries and attenuates them by applying a selected filter. Compared to the H.264/AVC deblocking filter, the HEVC deblocking filter has lower computational complexity and better parallel processing capabilities while still achieving significant reduction of the visual artifacts.

Quantitative analysis method and its system using a disposable sensor

Abstract: A sensor 13 is inserted into a connector 14. A constant voltage required to obtain a response current is applied across the connector 14 by a voltage applying source 15 at timings required. A response current of the sensor 13 inserted into the connector 14 is converted into a voltage by a current-to-voltage converter 16, and the amount thereof is determined by a microcomputer, the analysis results being displayed onto a display unit.

Ink recording apparatus

Abstract: An ink recording apparatus used with printers or the like and manufactured by applying semiconductor device manufacturing techniques. One wall of an ink chamber (20) is formed of a single-crystal substrate (21) and an ink jet port (21a) is formed by etching on the single-crystal sub­strate (21). A shutter (25) and electrodes (24a to 24h) composed of polycrystalline-silicon film are formed on the single-crystal substrate by film forming in the LPCVD method and patterning through plasma etching. A front wall (28) is formed by coating the shutter (25) and electrodes (24a to 24h) further with a polycrystalline-silicon film. The shutter (25) is movable between the wall surface of the ink chamber (20) and the front wall (28), being driven through electrostatic attracting force produced between voltage-ap­plied electrodes (24a to 24h) and the shutter (25). The electrodes (24a to 24h) are formed at positions correspond­ing to those where the shutter (25) blocks the ink jet port (21a) and releases the same.
