Abstract:
The invention relates to an articulated arm (1) for aligning a capturing device (2) for optically capturing an object arranged on a bearing surface (3). Said articulated arm, like as a conventional double-parallelogram arm, comprises a foot part (4), a head part (7), an articulated part (10) and two pairs of rods (5, 6, 8, 9) which connect the foot part (4) or the head part (7) to the articulated part (10). As opposed to prior art, the inventive articulated arm (1) comprises, in addition to a shaft (11) which is rotatably secured to the head part (7) and which mechanically co-operates with one of the rods (9) which is pivotably secured to the head part (7). As a result, the shaft rotates (11) in relation to the head part (7) when the rod (9) is pivoted.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a mobile telephone (MFG) comprising a high frequency part (HFT), a digital signal processor (DSP) and an antenna (ANT), and optionally an audio part (AUD), a receiver inset (LSP) and a microphone (MIC). According to the invention, the mobile telephone also has a facsimile scanning line (SCZ) which is connected to the signal processor (DSP) via an image processor (BVG). Said signal processor (DSP) and said image processor (BVG) are configured for at least partially temporarily storing an image scanned by the scanning line and then sending said image in digital form via the high frequency part (HFT).
Abstract:
An image input device (1) comprises a mirror body (12) which is designed in a polygonal prism form and has side peripheral surfaces each formed of a mirror face (12a), image pickup light from a subject being reflected from the mirror face (12a), and a linear sensor (14) for taking the image pickup light reflected from each mirror face (12a) of the mirror body (12) to perform photoelectric conversion on the image pickup light. The mirror body (12) is arranged so that the length direction thereof is substantially parallel to the length direction of the linear sensor (14), and disposed so as to be rotatable around a shaft (15) at the center of the bottom surface which are substantially perpendicular to the length direction of the mirror body (12).

Abstract:
There is provided an image input apparatus which can quickly and easily move a camera head to a position that the operator intended, can adequately adjust the position of the camera head, can improve operability in the document photographing mode, and is easy to carry. The image input apparatus has a camera head (2) for inputting an image, support members (5, 6) coupled via a plurality of joint portions (4, 11, 12, 15, 16) so as to be able to support the camera head (2), and a base (14) for supporting the proximal end side of the support members (5, 6). When an image is input by the camera head (2), the camera head (2) can be held at a predetermined position and posture by each of the plurality of joint portions (4, 11, 12, 15, 16). A pivot support mechanism arranged between a camera unit and a support portion has a first support member (6) having two opposing projections (107), a second support member (8) arranged between the two projections (107), a pair of clamping members (104) arranged to clamp the two projections (107) between the second support member (8) and themselves, and a torque generation mechanism (102, 104, 105) for generating a torque between the second support member (8), the clamping members (104), and the projections (107). A pivot support mechanism arranged between a support portion and a base has a first support member (112, 113) having two opposing projections, a second support member 111 which is a planar member having a U-shaped section, and has two end portions respectively engaging with the two projections and a coupling portion for coupling these two end portions, and a torque generation mechanism (114, 116, 118, 119) arranged between the first and second support members (111, 112, 113). An opening portion through which the cable extends is formed on the coupling portion.
Abstract:
In order to make it possible to see both a film accommodated in a film carrier and a film accommodated in a sheath, a carrier holder is rotatably provided in the upper portion of a viewer main body containing an imaging optical system, a CCD and a signal processing circuit, a carrier inlet is formed in the carrier holder, and head covers are mounted on the carrier holder so as to be capable of being opened and closed. The head covers are provided with a lighting lamp. Supporting arms are mounted on both sides of the viewer main body so as to be capable of being opened and closed.
Abstract:
A portable image input equipment is useful for transmitting a video signal of an object to a monitor television. The image input equipment comprises a camera head having an optical system and an image pickup means converting an optical image of the object to a video signal, a document stage on which the object, such as a pamphlet and a book, is to be put, a pair of arms assembled movably on the document stage to be folded down to the document stage and to be raised from the document stage, and a space comparted by a pair of the arms. The camera head is assembled movably on the arms to be folded down into the space and be raised from the space. The image input equipment can be folded into a flat shape.
Abstract:
In a handy reader/printer apparatus for reading recorded information from a desired portion of a medium to be read and printing read information on a desired portion of a medium to be printed, the apparatus has a housing (11) having an opening (13) in a lower surface thereof and placed on the medium to be read or printed such that the desired portion of the medium can be fitted in the opening (13), a reader unit (30, 31), arranged in the housing (11), for reading the recorded information of the desired portion of the medium to be read fitted in the opening (13) while the housing (11) is placed, on the medium, a printer unit (33, 34), arranged in the housing (11), for printing data in the desired portion of the medium to be printed fitted in the opening (13) while the housing (11) is placed on the medium, a memory (85) for storing data read by the reader unit (30, 31) upon operation of the reader unit (30, 31), and a readout unit (85) for reading out the storage data from the memory (85) as the printing data to the printer unit (33, 34) upon operation of the printer unit (33, 34).
Abstract:
@ A video scanner/digitizing apparatus (10) for scanning and digitizing documents, comprises a scanner (14) actuable to scan a document on a tablet (11) beneath the scanner (14). The scanner (14) is attached to a horizontal arm member (13) which is in turn attached to and movable up and down a vertical support member (12) which in turn is attached to the tablet (11). Two light arms (15, 16) are pivotally attached to the horizontal arm member (13) and each light arm has a light source attached to its non pivoting end. Each light arm is normally folded against the horizontal arm member (13) for storage when the video scanning apparatus (10) is not in use, and the light arms (15, 16) are extended to move the light sources away from the arm member when the video scanning apparatus (10) is to be used. The light sources are energized to illuminate a document on the tablet (11) when the scanner is actuated to scan a document.
