The present technology relates to an imaging device, an imaging method, and a program capable of setting a resolution based on a distance to a subject. A control unit which changes a resolution of a captured image on the basis of distance information, corresponding to the captured image, regarding a detected distance to a subject included in the image is included. The control unit changes a resolution of a portion of a region of the captured image on the basis of the distance information. The portion of the region is a region distant from another region. The control unit changes the resolution of the portion of the region such that the portion of the region becomes higher than a resolution of another region.

Imaging device, imaging method, and program

A video camera () for transmitting image data from an image pickup device to an image processing device with reduced electric power includes a C-MOS image sensor () that reads captured image data on the basis of a reference clock CLK, a frequency multiplying circuit () that generates a high-speed clock CLK, a rearranging circuit () that transposes the captured image data into bit data sequences, a data output section () that causes each data transmitter () to sequentially transmit a corresponding bit data sequence to the outside on the basis of the high-speed clock CLK, and a system controller () that drives data transmitters (), the number of which is proportional to a transmission speed.

A method of dusting-preventive treatment in which a powder having dusting property is treated with fibril-forming PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) to impart non-dusting property thereto and the non-dusting property of the powder, after having been reduced during transportation, are economically and advantageously recovered or improved through a relatively simple step. The method comprises: a first dusting-preventive treatment step in which fibril-forming polytetrafluoroethylene is added to a powder having dusting property, and a compression/shear force is exerted to the mixture at a temperature in the range of 20 to 200&#xb0; C. to thereby regulate powder so as to have a flow value of 150 mm to 200 mm; and a second dusting-preventive treatment step in which a compression/shear force is exerted again at a temperature in the range of 50 to 150&#xb0; C., without newly adding fibril-forming polytetrafluoroethylene, to the resultant powder after the powder treated in the first step has deteriorated in dusting-preventive property during transportation with transporting means due to such an external force that the polytetrafluoroethylene fibrils partly cleave or powder particles partly fall off polytetrafluoroethylene fibril nets.

In a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit having a function of automatically adjusting the free-running frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), the number of pulses of a pulse signal output from the VCO in a period in which a comparison signal output from a phase comparator is at a predetermined level is counted, and a microcomputer updates digital data based on the counted value. The digital data is converted into an analog signal by a digital-to-analog converter. A combiner combines the analog signal with a signal obtained by smoothing the comparison signal of the phase comparator by a low-pass filter so as to generate a frequency control signal of the VCO.

The present invention provides a dusting-inhibited cement composition, which hardly forms dust and further capable of improving strength of concrete or mortar obtained therefrom. A dusting-inhibited cement composition according to the present invention comprises 100 weight parts of cement, 0.01&tilde;0.1 weight parts of fibrillatable polytetrafluoroethylene and 0.001&tilde;1.0 weight parts of alcohol base antifoamer and/or silicone base antifoamer.

Dust-preventing method

Dust-control treatment of dusty powder, which mainly passes through a 100 mesh sieve, such as pigment and fertilizer, is achieved by, firstly blending the dusty powder with fibrillatable polytetrafluoroethylene and a pair of materials capable of initiating an exothermic reaction upon contact, and then subjecting the blended material to compression-shear under the exothermic reaction and raising the temperature of the blended material to 50.degree.-300.degree. C. The polytetrafluoroethylene fibrillates during the compression-shear and the formed fibrils enclose the dusty powder to turn it to a dust-controlled one.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a soil-stabilizing agent with less emission of dust, good reactivity, good behavior at mixing and good dispersibility and a method for soil stabilizing treatment capable of restraining the emission of dust in the procedure of sprinkling and mixing of the soil-stabilizing agent to soil. The soil-stabilizing agent according to the present invention comprises a mixture of a material mainly composed of quick lime and/or calcined dolomite and fibrillatable polytetrafluoroethylene resin. And the method for soil-stabilizing treatment according to the present invention comprises the following steps; adding a mixture of a material mainly composed of quick lime and/or calcined dolomite and fibrillatable polytetrafluoroethylene resin to soil, and mixing them under the hydration heat generated by the reaction between the quick lime and/or calcined dolomite with moisture in the soil to form hydrated material. When PTFE is in partially fibrillated state, emission of dust while sprinkling (primary dust) from the soil-stabilizing agent will be restrained as the particles of quick lime and/or calcined dolomite are enclosed in a cobweb-like net of the partially fibrillated PTFE, and emission of dust while mixing (secondary dust) is further restrained by a cobweb-like net of PTFE fibrillated further by mixing under hydration heat generated by the reaction of quick lime and/or calcined dolomite with moisture in the soil.
