Image binarization apparatus, image binarization method, image pickup apparatus, image pickup method, and a computer product

In a digital camera, a CPU divides a multi-valued image into blocks and selects object blocks, which are to be the object of processing. A CCD outputs luminance values of the multi-valued image. A low luminance threshold value setter sets low luminance threshold values on the basis of mean luminance values of blocks adjacent to the object block. A mean luminance value calculator calculates mean luminance values using luminance values from which luminance values that do not reach the low luminance threshold value in a block have been removed. A binarization threshold value setting circuit sets a binarization threshold value of the block based on the mean luminance values. A binarizer then binarizes the multi-valued image in the block on the basis of the binarization threshold values.

On-demand power control system, on-demand power control system program, and computer-readable recording medium recording the same program

Power is supplied to electrical devices while priorities between the electrical devices are being changed according to the states of use by a user instead of predetermined fixed priorities between the electrical devices, supply of power from a commercial power source can be controlled in real time at a request for power required by the user, and supply of power meeting QoL required in user's daily life is controlled. A power manager determines power to be assigned to each electrical device by inquiring a home appliance agent of whether or not the electrical device is capable of adjusting an operating function mode set as a target of a service operation of the electrical device, and of power for the electrical device. If the electrical device is capable of adjusting the operating function mode, the power manager obtains as a power assignment message the operating function mode set as a target for the electrical device and / or a power mode with power necessary for reaching the operating function mode as a target and with necessary time. If the electrical device is not capable of adjusting the operating function mode, the power manager obtains a power mode as a power assignment message without considering the operating function mode. The power manager includes a memory for transmitting the obtained power assignment message to the home appliance agent.

The present invention relates to a protective circuit to provide over voltage protection for an ASD. The protective circuit provides the benefits of fewer components with lower power ratings than existing protective circuits. The protective circuit may be incorporated directly in the ASD for continuous protection or mounted externally and connected to the ASD under operating conditions that require the circuit. This flexibility for mounting the protective circuit allows the capacitor of the protective circuit to be sized either in relation to capacitive elements on the DC bus within the ASD or according to external capacitance observed at the output of the ASD. In addition, the circuit is only operative during an overvoltage condition allowing for power ratings lower than would be required for continuous operation.
