PURPOSE: To surely fetch a desired image by giving a trigger to a storage means, receiving only the specified number of frames so as to conduct stop control thereby setting the number of frames. CONSTITUTION: A frame memory(FM) 8 is a memory circuit for a general-purpose D-RAM and operated while being controlled by a memory control circuit 9 and a digital video signal DV is recorded in the write mode in the unit of fields. A memory space of the FM 8 is used sequentially cyclicly to record intermittently an image formed by video signals to record a newest image for the memory space at the time interval. After the trigger signal is received, when the FM 8 records the video signals by the specified number of frames, the recording of the FM 8 is stopped, then the size of the memory space before and after the timing of the trigger signal and the image depending on the specified number of frames is recorded in a form of a decomposed photograph.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: To receive plural kinds of images in a form of a decomposed photograph by dividing a memory space of a storage means into plural areas and fetching an image comprising video signals intermittently for each divided area. CONSTITUTION: A frame memory(FM) 8 is a memory circuit of a large capacity comprising a general-purpose D-RAM, operated under the control of a memory control circuit 9 and stores digital video signals DV in terms of a field in the write mode. Then the memory space of the FM 8 is divided into plural area and the video signal is intermittently fetched for each divided area and the video signals are recorded in the form of a decomposed photograph for the number of channels corresponding to the number of divisions respectively. Each preceding video signal is fetched intermittently for each divided area and stored based on a trigger signal synchronously with the video signal to store the image to be recorded with almost the same timing with respect to the triggering of each video signal.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inhibit the unevenness of density caused by a rate variation with a thermal printer. SOLUTION: The relative moving rate between a thermal head 18 and a recording medium 9 is measured by a carrying-quantity detection section 20 and a line timer 52. A gradation conductive-electricity value control section 60 in which the control of the calorific value of a heater element 19 is made in the direction negating the variation of density caused by the deviation of actual rate from the standard one according to the relative moving rate. The control operation is performed by the method of applying a pulse-width modulation to a thermal-head conductive pulse P64 or of modulating a drive-voltage or drive-current. The method of modulating the number of the drive-pulse corresponding to the gradient number driving the heater element 19 may also be used. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal transfer recorder and a recording method in which fluctuation of hue due to dot shift is suppressed. SOLUTION: This thermal transfer recorder uses three color recording materials of yellow, magenta and cyan and provides a halftone representation by varying the size of dot to be printed. When the dots to be printed are viewed in units of 4 dots of 2×2 matrix, oblique, longitudinal and lateral dot arrangements to be printed with only 2 dots are determined. Each of three colors is then assigned to any one of oblique, longitudinal or lateral dot arrangement and printed in different dot arrangement. Preferably, yellow is set for the oblique dot arrangement, cyan is set for any one of longitudinal or lateral dot arrangement, and magenta is set for the remaining dot arrangement.
