An imaging device includes an image sensing device and an image signal processor. The imaging sensing device includes a pixel array of sensing pixels comprising a first pixel for sensing incident light and having a first dynamic range and a second pixel for sensing incident light and having a second dynamic range, the pixel array of sensing pixels structured to have a ratio of a number of the first pixels to all sensing pixels to be higher than a ratio of a number of second pixels to all sensing pixels. The image signal processor is configured to receive and process pixel data from the image sensing device to generate a high dynamic range (HDR) image corresponding to a larger dynamic range than the first dynamic range or the second dynamic range, based on pixel data of the first pixels and pixel data of the second pixels in the pixel array.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a sheet conveyance passage, a sheet circulation passage, a first conveyor, a second conveyor, a third conveyor, and circuitry. In the sheet circulation passage, a sheet is circulated to be overlaid with a following sheet in the sheet conveyance passage. The circuitry circulates the sheet in the sheet circulation passage to overlay the sheet with the following sheet conveyed after the sheet in the first sheet conveyance passage, at an upstream position of the first sheet conveyance passage, and adjusts a sheet conveyance speed of the third conveyor to circulate the sheet, based on a reduction amount that is obtained when a preceding amount of a leading end of the following sheet with respect to a leading end of the sheet is reduced while the following sheet is temporarily stopped due to a temporary stop of the first conveyor.

An imaging device includes an image sensing device, a private key generation unit, and an image encryption unit. The image sensing device includes an image generator configured to generate image data acquired by capturing as image, and a physical unclonable function (PUF) generator configured to generate physical unclonable function (PUF) data including information about at least one fixed pattern noise (FPN) data value and at least one random telegraph noise (RTN) data value. The private key (KEY) generation unit generates a private key based on the at least one FPN data value and the at least one RTN data value that are acquired from the PUF data. The image encryption unit encrypts the image data using the private key. A first transistor included in the PUF generator exhibits different properties from a second transistor that is included in the image generator and corresponds to the first transistor.

The present technology relates to a transistor and a manufacturing method that make it possible to reduce noise. The transistor includes a gate electrode, a source region, and a drain region. The gate electrode is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The source region is formed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate and extended from the gate electrode. The drain region is positioned to oppose the source region and formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate without being brought into contact with the gate electrode. The source region and the drain region are asymmetrical. The drain region is formed at a position deeper than the source region. At a gate end of the gate electrode, the drain region is formed at a distance from the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The present technology is applicable, for example, to an amplifying transistor.
