Abstract

A device may be configured to compress feature data according to one or more of the techniques described herein. In one example, feature data may be compressed by using residual encoding to enhance the feature data by removing redundancies. Enhanced feature data may be spatially down sampled and the number of channels of the enhanced feature data may be reduced by applying a 2D convolution operation. A heatmap based on the reduced enhanced feature data may be generated. The reduced enhanced feature data may be scaled using the generated heatmap. The scaled reduced enhanced feature data may be entropy encoded to generate a bitstream.

Abstract

A method for signaling gradual refresh for encoding a set of pictures performed by an electronic device is provided. The method identifies a first picture in the set of pictures as being associated with a gradual refreshed picture, and stores a network abstraction layer (NAL) unit type in a coded stream associated with the first picture. The NAL unit type identifies a presence of the gradual refreshed picture. The method then stores, in the coded stream, an enable flag to identify a use of the gradual refresh for encoding at least a subset of pictures in the set of pictures.

Abstract

An image-forming apparatus includes a photosensitive drum on which a toner image is formed and a charging roller that is brought into contact with a surface of the photosensitive drum to charge the surface of the photosensitive drum. The photosensitive drum is rotatable in both a forward rotation direction and a reverse rotation direction which are rotation directions in image formation, and the charging roller is rotatable in accordance with rotation of the photosensitive drum. The image-forming apparatus executes a preliminary charging operation of applying a DC voltage to the charging roller and then rotating the photosensitive drum in at least one of the forward rotation direction and the reverse rotation direction so that a pre-rotation contact portion that is in contact with the charging roller before the rotation on the surface of the photosensitive drum is charged when being moved to discharge regions on the charging roller.

Abstract

A developing device of an image forming apparatus includes a rotatable developer carrier, a layer regulating member, a storage, a developer tank, and a side part on which a first inclined surface is provided. The first inclined surface is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane such that a distance from the developer carrier increases as the first inclined surface approaches the storage from a side of the layer regulating member. A distance between the layer regulating member and the developer carrier is smaller than a shortest distance between the first inclined surface and the developer carrier. The image forming apparatus executes a loosening mode in which, after image formation is ended, the developer carrier is rotated in a direction opposite to a forward direction and then, rotated in the forward direction, when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

The present application discloses a display device capable of preventing a black display defect with a pixel circuit used therein in which P-type and N-type transistors are mixed. Provided is a pixel circuit including an organic EL element, a holding capacitor, a P-type drive transistor, a P-type writing control transistor, an N-type threshold compensation transistor, and the like, wherein during a data writing period, the voltage of a data signal line is written to the holding capacitor via the writing control transistor in ON state and the drive transistor brought into a diode-connected state by the threshold compensation transistor in ON state. A capacitance is provided between a first scanning signal line connected to a gate terminal of the writing control transistor and a gate terminal of the drive transistor. Consequently, when the P-type writing control transistor is turned off at the end of a data write period, a gate voltage Vg of the drive transistor increases, and this increase compensates for a decrease in the gate voltage Vg occurring when the N-type threshold compensation transistor is thereafter turned off.

Abstract

A wireless terminal comprises receiver circuitry, processor circuitry, and transmitter circuitry. The receiver circuitry is configured to receive radio transmissions in one or more subbands in a serving cell. The processor circuitry is configured to generate wireless terminal selective receptivity information. The wireless terminal selective receptivity information indicates whether the wireless terminal has a capability to configure the receiver circuitry for controlling in which of the subbands the receiver circuitry receives transmissions. The transmitter circuitry is configured to transmit the wireless terminal selective receptivity information to the serving cell.

Abstract

According to a multifunction peripheral according to the present disclosure, when a DC mixing detection circuit detects that electric source power contains DC power, a DC detection signal Sdc is output from the DC mixing detection circuit. This DC detection signal Sdc is input to a solenoid of a shutoff mechanism. In response, the solenoid turns off a mechanical switch via a movable member. In addition, the DC detection signal Sdc is input to a CPU. In response, the CPU displays an error message on a display and outputs a warning sound from a speaker.
