Abstract:
Image reproduction and recording system, having exclusive plurality of uses, with the methods for positioning, processing and controlling, with flexible operations (hand, robot, vehicle) of head carrier, works based on mechanical-guiding-apparatus-free positioning system. The common apparatuses include: head Gamier, sprayer/reader or sprayer/reader array, and computer. Additional apparatuses used in relative-motion-based method or wave-based method, include operation-module(OM) and motion-detectors(MD), or operation-unit(OU) and communication-units(CU's), respectively. The MD and OM provide the information of positioning for computer to determines the relative position and direction of the head array on head carrier. The CU's radiate and receive signal needed for determining distance information. The OU processes and converts the received signal into distance-related data and pass to computer. The computer determines the coordinates of a head in the head array from these data, and sends it back to OU or OM. Then the OU or OM sends the color data and spraying commands to head array, and provides power for head, or sends reading commands to reader array for reading color data.
Abstract:
A machine and a method for imaging digital camera output on a standard light lens copier, the camera having a reflective display flush with the camera so that the display can lay flat on the copier platen without interference from any other portion of the camera.
Abstract:
An imaging device comprises a digital camera for capturing a still image, a memory for storing images, a screen for displaying images from the memory and suitable to support at least one physical object to be imaged, and a support arm for positioning the digital camera with respect to the screen in such a way that when at least one physical object is supported by the screen, said physical object is in the field of vision of the digital camera. An imaging method may involve obtaining and displaying sequences of still images using at least two different captured still images of a physical object; each still image may be captured after displaying a reference image on the screen and then placing the physical object on the screen with the guide of said reference image. This reference may be another, previously captured, image of the object.

Abstract:
Image scanning apparatus and method for scanning a capture image uses sensor means comprising an NxM array of image sensors for sensing a subset of said capture image; transport means for moving said capture image relative to said sensor means; and control means for co-ordinating said sensor means with said transport means; whereby said control means can provide a digital representation of said capture image.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and a method, respectively, for transfer of medical films, particularly X-ray films, or parts thereof, for diagnostics to digital, electronic form. The system comprises a digital camera attached to a positioning system or the like and a screen, which camera is connected partly to the digital camera, partly to a digital, electronic image archive, wherein the system is arranged for selective examination on the screen or in the finder of the camera of medical films in order to find pathologically interesting parts, selective magnification of medical films, or parts thereof, with found pathologically interesting parts, selective exposure of medical films, or parts thereof, and transfer of obtained digital, electronic, medical images, or parts thereof, to and storing them in the digital, electronic image archive.
Abstract:
A "conversion" device is described that enables a conventional, dedicated copier (4) designed for the singular purpose of making copies to be employed additionally as an electronically-driven printing apparatus, thereby offering a standard issue copier (4) the added functionality of a computer printer or facsimile machine (13).
Abstract:
A large area scanning system (10) for use in scanning very large documents includes a table (12) and scanning mechanism (16) on which is located a scanner head (14). The scanner head includes an illumination mechanism and a camera for receiving light reflected from a document on the table. The scanning system (10) is characterized by a controller (18) which initially scans the document in a series of strips (106) and generates therefrom reformatted data in the form of a sequence of scan lines. To increase operating speed, the controller (18) provides for data compression with bilevel data.
Abstract:
An image display device according to the embodiment includes a display screen which is arranged on one surface of a housing and displays a page image using a display mechanism in which scanning can be optically performed in a copy machine; and a control unit which switches a page image displayed on the display screen among the plurality of page images set as a scanning target according to an operation input of a user with respect to an operation input unit which is arranged on the other surface of the housing.
Abstract:
Provided is a system for transmitting a handwriting animation message including a transmitting mobile terminal for transmitting the handwriting animation message including coordinate information and time information of one or more points forming handwriting information which is input by a user of a transmitting mobile terminal, an animation messaging server for, upon receiving the handwriting animation message, transcoding the handwriting animation message into a format supported by the receiving mobile terminal and transmitting the transcoded handwriting animation message, and the receiving mobile terminal for receiving the transcoded handwriting animation message.
