Abstract:
The scanning device comprises a measuring table (T) to which measured object B can be fixed for measurement, measurement carriage (W) with a photoelectric scanning device (100) which can be linearly moved over the surface of the measuring table by means of a drive unit (A), a control unit (S) for the measuring carriage (W), the scanning device (100) and the drive unit (A), and a processing unit (C) for processing and analyzing the measuring signals generated by scanning device (100) from scanned pixels (8) of measured object (B). Scanning device (100) in turn comprises a plurality of measuring heads (120) for pixel-by-pixel measurement of a corresponding plurality of pixels (8) of measured object (B) lying in a row one behind the other and along a corresponding plurality of scanning tracks (5a, 5b) which are parallel to motion direction (X) of measuring carriage (W) such that measured object (B) is sequentially scanned, pixel by pixel, in a grid-like scanning pattern.
Abstract:
A recording head having a plurality of ink discharge element lines arranged thereon is moved in a direction different from the direction of arrangement of the ink discharge elements to conduct a main scan, and at the end of the main scan, a recording medium is moved by a predetermined width in a direction different from the main scan direction to record an image. A record area of the recording head is divided into a plurality (n) of areas and each unit image area on the recording medium is main scanned n times by using the n divided areas of the recording head and thinned images with a print factor of 1/n are sequentially recorded to complete the record of the unit image area. The print factor for the pixels in the boundary area of adjacent unit image areas is lower than the print factor to the entire unit image area in at least one of the n main scans. Thus, the number of pixels recorded by the same main scan in the boundary area is increased. A high quality image without a joint stripe is attained even for a recording medium having a relatively high ink absorption speed.
Abstract:
A digital copying apparatus produces a right reading image with an image reading unit co-mounted on a carriage with an image printing unit. After a width of a document is scanned, either bidirectionally or unidirectionally, and digitized, it is stored in a band memory buffer before it is printed on the next successive sweep. The digitized data stored in the band memory buffer may be processed while it is stored, prior to being printed.
Abstract:
A scanner having a frame assembly for supporting a movable document reading head for scanning movement in a scanning path in a first direction has a document transport to transport a document through the scanner and a drive to move the reading head across the document to read at least a portion of the document, the reading head having an optical imaging assembly including a frame supporting an imaging platen, the scanner including a floating document backstop opposite the imaging platen and extending across the scanning path to precisely position a document on the platen during an imaging operation. In a preferred embodiment the scanner includes a printing head with a comounted printing head.
Abstract:
A compact combined input scanner and output scanner having a frame assembly with a scanning carriage movably mounted for movement in a scanning path in a first direction across the length of said frame assembly. The scanning carriage has co-mounted a reading head secured thereto for scanning a document to produce a digital image of at least a portion of the document and a printing head secured thereto for relative movement with respect to a copy sheet and electrically connected to the reading head for printing a digital image on a copy sheet. The frame assembly includes copy sheet and document transport paths with an indexer to index a document through the document path in a direction transverse to the first direction and to index a copy sheet through the copy sheet path in the opposite transverse direction of indexing of said document.
Abstract:
A facsimile signal converter for mutually converting to each other one of a facsimile signal of one-way scanning and a facsimile signal of two-way scanning for each scanning line, in which a first read head and a second read head are reciprocated for scanning in opposite directions along two spaced but parallel travel paths, respectively, while a write head travels together with the first read head along a travel path developed at the midway between the two travel paths and to be positioned on the same line perpendicular to each of the two parallel travel lines. A recording medium is shifted by a certain length in a direction perpendicular to the travel paths for each scanning of the first read head and the second read head. In case of using an endless recording medium, it is alternately shifted by a first length and a second length twice the first length. Each of the certain length and the first length is equal to half the space between the two travel paths.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mobile device with a camera and a method for assisting photographing capable of assisting a user to operate the camera so that the user has an appropriate amount of photographies when the user creates various composite images by using the taken images. SOLUTION: The mobile device with the camera performs user assistance so that the amount of the taken images is best for creating the composite image from the taken images by mosaicking processing or super resolution processing. For this, the mobile device is provided with a photographing status analyzing part 10 for analyzing a current photographing status. The photographing status analyzing part 10 is provided with a speed detecting part 12 to detect a moving speed, and if the detected moving speed surpasses a predetermined range, a warning beep is given to the user through a speaker 140 or the like.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light deflector capable of stably maintaining a scan position on a scanned surface and keeping good disposition accuracy of each of multiple movable mirrors so as to form a high-quality image when combining the movable mirrors. SOLUTION: The movable mirror 441 serves as a deflector which is supported by a torsional beam as a rotary shaft and is constituted so as to deflect an optical beam emitted from a light source and scan an area to be scanned. The movable mirror 441 is controlled by a driving circuit and vibrates in a reciprocating manner by periodical application of a rotational torque. The driving circuit is disposed on a circuit board 453. The movable mirror 441 is integrally supported by the circuit board 453. The direction of a mirror surface of the movable mirror 441 is decided on a contact plane orthogonal to the torsional beam by using a reference hole 455 and a sub-reference hole 456 as positioning reference.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing method and program, an image processor, an image forming apparatus and an image forming system for reducing bidirectional color difference generated during bidirectional printing using black ink in the case of using a head in incomplete symmetrical arrangement in which a nozzle for black ink is not symmetrical with respect to a nozzle for color ink. SOLUTION: The image processing method is provided in which when image data are input, CMM (color management module) processing is performed using a color space processing conversion table to determine whether the data are bidirectional printing or not, and if they are bidirectional printing, bidirectional BG/UCR (black generation/under color removal) processing in which an inking starting position is delayed to the shadow side compared with that in the case of one-way printing is performed, and if they are not bidirectional printing, one-way BG/UCR processing in which the inking starting position is not delayed is performed.
