Abstract:
A control system for an electrophotographic exposure apparatus is characterized by a film sheet transport which carries a film sheet past a first and second spaced position whereat the same portion of the film sheet is exposed to an imaging beam each having the same image information.
Abstract:
A reading apparatus includes a reading unit and a shaft along which the reading unit slides. The reading unit includes a reading portion for reading an image, a holding portion that holds the reading portion. The holding portion has a first surface. The reading unit further includes a sliding portion that moves in contact with the shaft. The sliding portion has a second surface facing the first surface. A first region is provided between the first surface of the holding portion and the second surface of the sliding portion so as to form a predetermined gap which reduces the transmission of vibrations from the shaft to the reading unit.

Abstract:
An image capture device (2) includes a sensor (4) having an active area comprising a plurality of pixels (6) and a shutter array (8) for controlling the exposure of individual pixels. The pixels are grouped in a plurality of pixel subsets and are arranged to capture a plurality of time-separated lo-res images, which can be viewed sequentially as a movie or combined to form a hi-res still image.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for scanning a target moving relatively to a scanner to obtain an image involves scanning at an oblique angle to the direction of motion and oversampling. The image is then created by rearranging the scanned pixels. Blur in the scan optics and other distortions are removed by a deconvolution process which is adapted for the oblique angle scanning.
Abstract:
An image scanning unit includes an image sensor unit (111) disposed along a document delivery path and having an image scanning surface over which a document travels, the image scanning surface opposing a first surface of the document, a white member which contacts a second side opposing the first side of the document and to urge the document toward the image sensor unit (111), a surface of the white member opposing the image sensor unit being white in color, and a drive roller (130) disposed along the document delivery path adjacent to the white member, delivering the document between the image sensor unit (111) and the white member, and contacting the second side of the document.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus including: a supply device for supplying sheets to a reading position, a platen glass plate in the reading position, a platen roller opposed to the platen glass plate, a reading device for exposing a sheet on the platen glass plate to read an image on the sheet, and a white guide member upstream of the platen roller in the transporting direction, wherein a portion of the guide member closest to the platen roller is on the platen roller side with respect to a plane which includes the point in the outer periphery of the platen roller closest to the platen glass plate and which is parallel to the platen glass plate, and wherein the longitudinal length of the guide member is the same as or larger than the width of the range of the reading device.
