The present invention includes a strain body having a connecting part and a fixing part, and a first strain detection element disposed on the strain body. The strain body includes a void, and the first strain detection element is disposed between the connecting part and the void.

Strain sensor, and load detection device using same

A depth image conversion unit moves an edge location in an input depth image towards a background. A pixel shift unit generates an image from a different viewpoint by horizontally shifting coordinates of each pixel in an image based on a converted depth image. A pixel interpolation unit interpolates a missing pixel region yielded by pixel shifting.

Image processing device, image processing method, program, and integrated circuit

A weight sensor includes a deformable body, a first strain resistor provided on an outer side surface of the deformable body, and a pressing member applying a load to the deformable body. The deformable body includes a tubular portion having a tubular shape extending along a center axis and surrounding the center axis, and a projection projecting from an inner surface of the tubular portion. The pressing member moves along the center axis so as to apply a moment to the tubular portion. The resistances of the strain resistors change greatly, allowing the weight sensor to measure a load with high sensitivity.

Degradation in image quality of color difference components is to be suppressed. Provided is an image compression device that performs fixed length compression of data to be compressed composed of a plurality of components including a luminance component. The image compression device includes a code amount allocation unit configured to determine, according to the luminance component, the code amount to be allocated to each of the plurality of components such that a total of the code amount allocated to each of the components remains constant, and a compression unit configured to compress each of the plurality of components in accordance with the code amount determined by the code amount allocation unit.

The data exchange processing apparatus pertaining to the present invention includes a cryptographic engine unit performing cryptographic processing and verification processing, a stream control unit outputting content while performing cryptographic processing of the content using the cryptographic engine unit, an unauthorized device list update unit verifying an unauthorized device list using the cryptographic engine unit, and a state management unit outputting a permission notification to the unauthorized device list update unit when detecting a low load section of the content according to metadata of the content and processing position of the stream control unit, the low load section being a section in which processing load on the cryptographic engine unit is lower than in other sections. The unauthorized device list update unit, when receiving the permission notification from the state management unit, causes the cryptographic engine unit to execute verification processing of the unauthorized device list.

Provided is a content transmission devicethat can reduce failure of content key confirmation processing during special playback such as fast-forwarding and fast-rewinding. A key management unitgenerates or updates a key parameter, and stores therein the generated or updated key parameter. The key management unitreceives a key parameter from the content reception device, and calculates a difference between the key parameter stored therein and the received key parameter. By using the calculated difference, a transmission control unitjudges whether or not to change a transmission speed at which an encrypted content portion is to be transmitted, and depending on a result of the judgment, selects one of transmission speeds and transmits the encrypted content portion in accordance with the selected transmission speed. When the difference is greater than a first threshold value, the transmission control unitselects one of the transmission speeds that is slower than a current transmission speed.

Content transmission device and content transmission method

A content playback apparatus obtains and plays a content section from content according to an obtaining method that varies. The content playback apparatus which obtains the content section from content and plays the obtained content section includes a reference generation unit that generates a judgment reference that varies dynamically over a playback time axis of the content, and a content section obtaining unit that obtains the content section by comparing the content with the judgment reference. With this structure, the content playback apparatus is able to obtain a content section according to a method that varies.
