Abstract:
An image sensor has a supporting member for integrally supporting a reading system including illuminating means for illuminating an original document, a photoelectrically converting means and imaging means for imaging light reflected by the surface of the original document onto the photoelectrically converting means, and has a member disposed on the side surface of the supporting member. The image sensor has two or more substantially independent spaces formed in the supporting member. The illuminating means, the imaging means and the photoelectrically converting means are accommodated in one of the spaces.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described for improving the geometric fidelity of images reproduced in a charged particle beam device. The beam is deflected across a sensitive medium to form a test image of predetermined configuration. The test image is compared with a reference image and geometric deviations measured, at a number of points, are used to calculate correction signals required to modify the beam deflection to offset the deviations. Circuit adjustments are then made to provide the calculated correction signals. The correction signal adjustments are accomplished in separate non-interactive circuits for each of a plurality of predetermined corrections which only require a one time adjustment.
Abstract:
This invention provides an image forming apparatus capable of preventing image omission caused by registration error correction, a control method therefor, and a program. Error amount information is acquired which is stored in a storage medium and represents the error amount of the scanning line of exposure light in the exposure scanning direction on an image carrier. The image data is modified on the basis of the acquired error amount information. A masked area for restricting the output position of an image visualized on the printing medium is modified on the basis of the modification amount of the modified image data.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image sensor unit capable of acquiring stable image data even if illuminance changes as a light emission wavelength in the infrared range has a temperature shift due to change in ambient temperature, and an image reader.SOLUTION: When a bill 4 is identified by an illumination device comprising a light guide body 11 made of synthetic resin and a light source 10 including a light emitting element having a light emission wavelength in the infrared range as a main wavelength, white reference plates 20 are provided at positions where the outsides of image areas at both ends of a rod lens array 12 which extend over the bill 4 are covered, a correction coefficient calculated by making illuminance corrections so that IR correction data is substantially the same as IR reference data previously stored in a storage circuit A of a signal processing part is found based upon IR white reference data indicative of reference illuminance of white generated with reflected light from the white reference plates 20, and this correction coefficient is used to correct IR image data during a read of the bill 4.
Abstract:
A lens unit (U15) comprises a housing (45), upper and lower lens arrays (A1', A2'), and first and second prisms (4A, 4B). Each of the lens arrays includes a plurality of lenses (2) formed integrally, an optical shield (4), and a plurality of positioning projections (12). Light passing downward through a first slit (45c) formed in an upper part of the housing (45) into the housing (45) is directed upward by the first prism (4A) and allowed to pass between the two lens arrays (A1', A2'). The light is directed downward by the second prism (4B), and it exits through a second slit (45d) formed in a lower part of the housing (45).
Abstract:
An apparatus for recording an image onto a light recording medium (16) includes a light source (120) which emits light at a position which is movable over a light emitting area (21) of the light source controlled by a controller (13). A light position sensor (142) has a target area optically coupled to light emitted from a plurality of positions within the light emitting area of the light source used for recording for detecting the position of the light intersecting the target area of the sensor from the light emitting area of the light source and generating a signal dependent upon the light intersecting the target area. A controller (13), responsive to the signal, produces a correction parameter and controls the position of the light on the light emitting area of the light source with the correction parameter during recording. The present invention also reduces the effects of recording errors which occur near section boundaries as the sections are recorded onto a recording medium.

The first and second lens array plates form a stack such that the second surface and the third surface face each other. The erecting equal-magnification lens array plate receives light from a linear light source facing the first surface and forms an erect equal-magnification image of the linear light source on an image plane facing the fourth surface. An annular slope is formed around each second lens and each third lens.
