A monitoring sensor for a sealed secondary batteryincluding a sealed outer casingand an electrode groupaccommodated in the inside of the sealed outer casing, including a polymer matrix layerthat is disposed in the inside of the outer casingand a detection unitthat is disposed on the outside of the outer casing, wherein the polymer matrix layercontains a filler that is dispersed therein and that changes an external field in accordance with deformation of the polymer matrix layer, and the detection unitdetects change in the external field.

Monitoring sensor including a polymer matrix for monitoring a sealed secondary battery, sealed secondary battery including the monitoring sensor, and monitoring method for sealed secondary battery

In a deformation detection method for a sealed-type rechargeable batteryin which an electrode group, which is formed by stacking a positive electrodeand a negative electrodewith a separatorinterposed therebetween, is accommodated in a sealed outer casing, a polymer matrix layeris attached to an outer surface of a wall portionof the outer casingthat faces the electrode groupin a thickness direction of the positive electrodeand the negative electrodeor in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction. The polymer matrix layercontains a filler that is dispersed therein and that changes an external field in response to deformation of the polymer matrix layer. Change in the external field accompanying the deformation of the polymer matrix layeris detected by a detection unit

A vertical zooming unit vertically resizes image data by a tap number m. A horizontal zooming unit horizontally resizes the vertically-resized image data outputted from the vertical zooming unit by a tap number n. A tap coefficient setting unit arbitrarily sets respective tap coefficients when the vertical zooming unit or the horizontal zooming unit is operated. A memory stores the image data therein. A memory controller controls input and output of the image data among the memory, the vertical zooming unit and the horizontal zooming unit.

Electronic zooming device

An image processing device for performing image processing for an image signal output from an image sensor and outputting the results, including: an internal memory having line memories for storing an image by row or column; an image processing section for performing the image processing using the internal memory; and a CPU for controlling the image processing section. The image processing section includes a plurality of processing circuits each performing predetermined processing as the image processing. At least one of the plurality of processing circuits is configured to allow use of an external memory provided outside the image processing device as required.
