The present technology relates to a wireless communication device and a method that enable reliable transmission of data even in communication using a plurality of bands. The wireless communication device collectively manages a sequence number of data transmitted using each band in communication using a plurality of bands and controls of transmission of information on a notification method of a reception result of the data and information on a management method. The present technology can be applied to wireless communication systems.

An information processing device includes a color conversion unit that performs color conversion on video data of a display video displayed on a display and to be imaged by using table information reflecting an inverse characteristic of a characteristic of the display.

To provide a droplet forming technology capable of stably sorting a droplet. Provided is a microparticle sorting device provided with a voltage supply unit that supplies a drive voltage to a vibration element that applies a vibration to an orifice that generates a fluid stream, a control unit that controls a driving condition supplied to the vibration element on the basis of a relative relationship between a droplet discharged from the orifice and a satellite droplet present between droplets, and a sorting unit that sorts the droplet containing microparticles on the basis of optical information detected from the microparticles flowing through a flow path.

The present disclosure provides a user equipment that includes circuitry that is configured to receive an indication of random access resources in essential system information broadcasted from a network; transmit an on-demand system information request to the network in a first random access resource of the indicated random access resources, wherein the first random access resource includes a random access preamble; and receive a Random Access Response that includes a Random Access Preamble Identifier corresponding to the transmitted random access preamble; wherein the indicated random access resources in the essential system information are respectively mapped to system information blocks which are not included in the essential system information.

The present technique relates to a decoding device and a decoding method, and an encoding device and an encoding method, capable of performing encoding and decoding independently in the time direction for each tile. A decoding unit generates a prediction image by performing, for each of tiles, motion compensation of a reference image within a co-located tile based on tile splittable information indicating that decoding is allowed for each of the tiles and motion vector information representing a motion vector used for generating encoded data of a decoding target current image when a picture of the current image is split into the tiles and decoded. The decoding unit decodes the encoded data using the prediction image. The present technique is applicable to a decoding device, for example.

The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and method capable of suppressing a reduction in encoding efficiency.An upper limit value of the number of bins allocated to a processing target subblock by distributing the number of bins among nonzero subblocks is set, a syntax element value regarding the processing target subblock is derived by using coefficient data derived from image data so that the number of bins does not exceed the upper limit value, and the syntax element value derived is encoded and coded data is generated. The present disclosure can be applied, for example, to an image processing apparatus, an image encode apparatus, an image decode apparatus, a transmitting apparatus, a receiving apparatus, a transmitting/receiving apparatus, an information processing apparatus, an imaging apparatus, a reproducing apparatus, an electronic device, an image processing method, an information processing method, and the like.

A method is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining first data from a first 2D image of a scene and second data from a second 2D image of the scene. The method comprises determining a first 2D object mask of an object that appears in the first and second 2D images. The method comprises determining a second 2D object mask of the object. The method comprises generating, for the first 2D object mask, a first depth map comprising first information indicative of a distance from the object to the camera. The method comprises determining a first scale parameter and a first shift parameter based on projecting the first information onto the second 2D image. The method comprises generating a second depth map based on the first scale parameter and the first shift parameter, the second depth map comprising second information indicative of the distance from the object to the camera.

To provide a communication apparatus which controls channel access operation under a multi user environment, and a communication method. Channel access operation of each STA after an MU mode is finished is controlled through a trigger frame from an AP to prevent collision immediately after the MU mode is finished. Further, the AP sets a smaller CW upon transmission of the trigger frame than a CW of an STA to preferentially transmit the trigger frame and give priority to communication in the MU mode over communication in an SU mode. Further, by the CW of each STA upon switching of the mode being not reset, a transmission waiting period after the MU mode is finished is shortened.

There is provided a recording apparatus that records data to a memory card, characterized by comprising: control means for repeatedly transmitting a data recording instruction that includes information designating recording target data and a recording destination to the memory card which manages a memory for data recording in the memory card as a plurality of recording areas and which can execute data recording with a guaranteed minimum recording speed in units of recording areas, wherein when transmitting a first data recording instruction that designates a start portion of a first recording area as a recording destination, the control means requests the memory card to execute data recording with the guaranteed minimum recording speed with respect to the first recording area by including a speed guarantee request in the first data recording instruction.

For displaying a stored photographic image, an auxiliary image is captured, and light direction information is determined from the captured auxiliary image. On the basis of the determined light direction information, a lighted image is generated from the stored photographic image. The lighted image is then displayed.
