20150318868 | DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD - The present technology relates to a data processing apparatus and a data processing method that are able to provide an LDPC code with a good error rate. | 11-05-2015 |
20150019799 | MULTI-LEVEL MEMORY, MULTI-LEVEL MEMORY WRITING METHOD, AND MULTI-LEVEL MEMORY READING METHOD - A memory comprising a memory array unit including a plurality of data units, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive data; convert the data into converted data using a conversion rule for converting a data piece into another data piece, wherein the conversion rule is selected based on the data received and independent of current data written in a data unit; and write the converted data and a conversion rule identifier corresponding to the conversion rule into the data unit. | 01-15-2015 |
20140208182 | CONTROLLER, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, METHOD OF CONTROLLING CONTROLLER, AND PROGRAM - A controller includes: a low-level error correction section configured to execute low-level error correction in which an error in a code word is corrected with use of a predetermined decoding algorithm; and a high-level soft-decision error correction section configured to execute high-level soft-decision error correction in which the error in the code word is corrected with use of a high-level algorithm when the error correction by the low-level error correction section has failed, the high-level algorithm being a soft-decision decoding algorithm having higher error correction capability than error correction capability of the predetermined decoding algorithm. | 07-24-2014 |
20140055681 | PRESENTING SNAPSHOT OF CONTROLLED DEVICE DISPLAY ON DISPLAY OF REMOTE COMMANDER TO FACILITATE CONTROL OF THE CONTROLLED DEVICE BY USER WHO CANNOT SEE CONTROLLED DEVICE - A system includes a controlled device presenting on a device display an image including a native user interface (UI) and a remote commander (RC) communicating with the controlled device to receive the image and present it on an RC display, so that a user may manipulate the RC looking at the RC display to control the controlled device using the native UI even if the user cannot see the display of the controlled device. | 02-27-2014 |
20140012539 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONGESTION DEGREE MAP GENERATING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - Provided is an information processing apparatus including an acquisition unit configured to acquire a pitch of walking from oscillation detection data, and a congestion determination unit configured to determine a congestion degree based on a difference between the pitch acquired by the acquisition unit and a pitch during normal walking which is calculated based on the oscillation detection data of a past. | 01-09-2014 |
20100260354 | NOISE REDUCING APPARATUS AND NOISE REDUCING METHOD - A noise reducing apparatus includes: a voice signal inputting unit inputting an input voice signal; a noise occurrence period detecting unit detecting a noise occurrence period; a noise removing unit removing a noise for the noise occurrence period; a generation source signal acquiring unit acquiring a generation source signal with a time duration corresponding to a time duration corresponding to the noise occurrence period; a pitch calculating unit calculating a pitch of an input voice signal interval; an interval signal setting unit setting interval signals divided in each unit period interval; an interpolation signal generating unit generating an interpolation signal with the time duration corresponding to the noise occurrence period and alternately arranging the interval signal in a forward time direction and the interval signal in a backward time direction; and a combining unit combining the interpolation signal and the input voice signal, from which the noise is removed. | 10-14-2010 |
