Abstract

To provide a scheme that, when making a prediction in multilayer coding, takes into account the quality of the image in each layer and can adaptively determine in want manner to refer to the image of which layer. Provided is an image processing device provided with a prediction control unit that, on the basis of an indicator dependent on the image quality of a first layer image and a second layer image, sets the weighting when including a first layer pixel and a second layer pixel for predicting a pixel in the second layer that is encoded or decoded referring to the first layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hub bearing sealing assembly for a motor vehicle, the hub bearing sealing assembly comprising:
a bearing with a relatively rotatable inner race and outer race; and
a sealing device positioned between the inner race and outer race of the bearing and fixed to the outer race of the bearing, the sealing device separating and sealing a machine external side from a machine internal side;
wherein the sealing device comprises:
a seal lip which contacts the inner race so as to prevent a foreign material in the machine external side from entering into the machine internal side; and
a dust lip positioned closer to the machine external side than the seal lip and which makes said foreign material hard to reach said seal,

wherein said seal lip is formed by an electrically conductive rubber material, and said dust lip is formed by a rubber material which is lower in electrical conductivity than the electrically conductive rubber material of said seal lip,
wherein the electrically conductive rubber material of the seal lip is formed from rubber blended with conductive carbon,
wherein the seal lip provides static electricity removal between the inner race and the outer race, and
wherein the dust lip resist swelling when exposed to muddy water or salt water due to the material of the dust lip having substantially less conductive carbon blended therein than the electrically conductive rubber material of the seal lip or having no conductive carbon blended therein.

2. The hub bearing sealing assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive rubber material of said seal lip includes the conductive carbon in an amount of 3 to 50 parts by weight and the rubber in an amount of 100 parts by weight, and the rubber material of said dust lip which is lower in electrical conductivity than the electrically conductive rubber material of the seal lip includes rubber in an amount of 100 parts by weight and may include from zero to 1 part by weight of the conductive carbon.

3. The hub bearing sealing assembly according to claim 2 , wherein said conductive carbon is KETJENBLACK® or acetylene black.
