Abstract: A slide securing device, using in a flatbed scanner, includes a frame and a securing cell. The securing cell comprises an aperture, a first securing clip, a second securing clip, a first securing groove, a second securing groove, a picking portion, a first support member and a second support member. The slide securing device utilizes proper clips for holding slides. Thus, the scanner can directly scan the secured slides by predetermined parameters and reset mode, in order to save scanning time. Further, the securing grooves maintains slides at a fixed height to improve the scanning quality.

Abstract: In an image reader, a line image sensor optically and electronically reads by scanning a standardized image-recording frame area of a photographic transparency with the line image sensor. In a regular-reading operation, the frame area is scanned at a fine-scan-pitch with the line image sensor. Prior to the regular-reading operation, a pre-reading operation is executed such that the standardized frame area is scanned at a rough-scan-pitch with the line image sensor. It is determined whether an image to be read from the transparency is recorded on a whole of the standardized frame area or a panorama frame area defined and restricted on the standardized frame area. When it is determined that the image to be read is recorded on the panorama frame area, the execution of the regular-reading operation is regulated such that the panorama frame area is scanned with the line image sensor.

Abstract: The illumination optical device has a collimator lens and a light source. The light source is provided with light-emitting diodes radiating green, red and blue light beams, respectively. The light-emitting diodes are arranged on a straight line, which is perpendicular to the optical axis of the collimator lens and which intersects a focal point of the collimator lens. Each of the green, red and blue light beams is changed to a parallel beam by the collimator lens, and is then changed to a strip-shaped light beam by a cylindrical lens which is provided between the collimator lens and a film. The film is disposed in such a manner that each of the light beams is made incident on the film.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dual transmissive/reflective image scanning apparatus for improving the scanning quality of reflective originals. The present invention includes a slot for selectively accommodating a tray of a first type or a tray of a second type. For reflective scanning, the tray of the first type, which includes a means of transparent material such as glass, is inserted within the slot. For transmissive scanning, the tray of the second type without a means of transparent material may be selectively inserted within the slot. As scanning transparent originals, a light source from the original cover passes directly thought the transparent originals and thus it reduces obstruction that may be caused by a transparent material. Furthermore, either the tray of the first type or the tray of the second type is allowed to be withdrawn from the housing for cleaning greasy dirt or dust deposited on the glass or installing various holders for transparent originals.

Abstract: An optical scanning apparatus for retrieving digital electronic images representative of opaque and transmissive objects. The apparatus is equipped with a reflective scanning platform for scanning documents and photographs and a docking port for receiving a transmissive scanning platform for scanning transparencies and slides. A scanning camera equipped with light sources for illuminating the respective platforms may be aligned by the operator to retrieve images from either the reflective scanning platform or from the transmissive scanning platform. An optical switch which is included within the optical pathway selectively toggles the view of the scanning camera between the reflective platform and the transparent platform. An operator using a control panel button or software can selectively scan either type of object. The choice of two scanning platforms optimizes the digital image quality for each type of media.

Abstract: Apparatus for automatically inserting 35 mm photographic slides into a slide scanning gate in the scanning station of a film scanner, scanning the slide, and ejecting the slides on completion of scanning. A vertical mount in the film scanner housing receives a rotatable slide tray having customer orders in selected tray slots to present each selected slide into alignment laterally in a horizontal plane with the film scanning gate. A load arm is actuated to load the slide from the tray slot into the scanning gate. The scanning gate accepts slides in mounts of varying size and thickness and centers the slide film image frame in alignment with a film scanning plane in the scanning station. The scanning gate is translated in the scanning station out of the load position for low and high resolution scans and returned to the load position. A return arm is actuated to eject the slide from the scanning gate and back into the same slot in the tray, and the tray is rotated to present the next selected slide into alignment with the load and return arms and the slide scanning gate. The system scans slides of different customer orders in accordance with instructions entered into an electronic control system.
