Data can be transferred from a picture processing section to an encoding section without necessity of using an external memory. In addition, with internal data transfer having a wider band than an external memory, data can be processed at high speed. An entire pictureas an original picture is divided into six blocks of (64&#xd7;4) pixels each. An enlargement process is performed for each block. Data of blocks are read in the order of blocks, and so forth. A size changing section processes a first block and generates picture data of a blockof (128&#xd7;8) pixels. From this picture data, macroblocksof (16&#xd7;8) pixels each are read and encoded. As a result, JPEG dataare obtained. A code rearrangement section rearranges the order of the JPEG datain the unit of a block. As a result, JPEG dataare generated. When JPEG dataare decoded in this order, a decoded picturewhose block order matches an areaof the original picture is obtained.

Picture processing apparatus and method, and imaging apparatus

An image signal processing apparatus may include a partial image data block obtaining unit configured to obtain partial image data blocks by dividing image data corresponding to a predetermined screen having a predetermined number of horizontal and vertical pixels into image data portions, each having a predetermined number of partial horizontal and vertical pixels, at predetermined positions; a packet generating unit configured to generate packets, each storing one of the partial image data blocks; and one or more signal processing units configured to receive the packets from a transmission path through which the image data is transmitted, perform signal processing in units of partial image data blocks stored in the packets, and output the image data in the form of packets to the transmission path.

Image signal processing apparatus and image signal processing method

The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus and a power supply controlling method with which input power source is switched efficiently in accordance with a load of a device. A power controller, upon detecting a USB connection, monitors power consumption of a CPUbased on the operation status of the CPU, and controls a switchin accordance with a current supplied from a USB cable. When the current is less than or equal to 500 mA, the switchis switched to a terminal a. Before configuration, when the current is less than or equal to 100 mA, the switchis switched to the terminal a, and then a regulatoris controlled so that the current will not exceed 100 mA. In USB suspend, the switchis switched to a terminal b, and a regulatorstops output to a backup battery. The present invention can be applied to a digital still camera supporting USB.

Electronic apparatus and power supply controlling method

A communication device which transmits/receives data to/from a host device connected thereto via a bus having a signal line and a power line. A communication controller which is always supplied with power as long as a bus is connected thereto and a MCU are so arranged as to use different power, and only supply of power to the MCU is interrupted when a connected host device comes into stand-by state. In case the connected host device resumes from the stand-by state, the communication controller responds to communication from the host device until the MCU resumes control of data transmission/reception with the host device.

Disclosed are a novel process for preparing D-alloisoleucine and an improved process for epimerizing L-isoleucine to prepare D-alloisoleucine. In the former process, (2S, 3S)-tartaric acid derivative of formula I below; wherein R stands for a hydrogen atom, a C,-C,lower alkyl group, lower alkoxy group, chlorine atom, bromine atom and nitro group; and &ldquo;n&rdquo; is a number of 0, 1 and 2; is combined with an epimer mixture of L-isoleucine and D-alloisoleucine in a reaction medium to form a complex of D-alloisoleucine and the compound of formula I. The precipitated complex is decomposed by putting it in an alcohol to isolate D-alloisoleucine. In the latter process, L-isoleucine is suspended in an inert solvent which does not substantially dissolve amino acids, and epimerized in the presence of C,-C,saturated lower fatty acid and salicylaldehyde.
