Abstract:
A set pattern image with no displacement is recorded onto recording paper. In this set pattern image, the centers of auxiliary patterns are displaced in an auxiliary scan direction off a referential straight line passing through the centers of primary patterns. The image forming apparatus causes the set pattern image to be read, measures the displacements of the auxiliary patterns in the auxiliary scan direction off the referential straight line, and compensates for the displacements, such as by adjusting writing timings in the auxiliary scan direction so that the displacements become zero.
Abstract:
The image forming apparatus includes: an image data input section for reading a document as image data; a target value memory section for storing a target value of an input/output characteristic value when a reference document is read; a comparator for comparing the image data of the reference document and the target value so as to create a new input/output characteristic value; a fixed value memory section for storing a difference in input/output characteristic values as a fixed value between an original document and a copy document; and an adder for adding the fixed value to the image data of the reference document so as to output a resultant value to the comparator. By the provision of the fixed value memory section and the adder, the image forming apparatus can set a plurality of input/output characteristic values by reading the reference document once, thus reducing time for the procedure of setting the respective input/output characteristic values.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a communications interface operative to receive a first image information item transmitted from terminal equipment connected thereto via a network; a storage section operative to store the first image information item therein; and an image reading section operative to obtain a second image information item by scanning an image of a document. The image forming apparatus further includes: a control section operative to compare the second image information item to the first image information item and then select the first image information item to be served for image forming if the second image information item is judged to be same as the first image information item, or the second image information item to be served for image forming if the second image information item is judged to be different from the first image information item.
Abstract:
The invention produces a document-image reading device that can analyze a speed fluctuation state of a scanner when scanning an image in the feed direction by separately extracting speed fluctuation components by determining a change in density of references scale lines; and, on the basis of the analysis result, prevents the occurrence of an image blur that can result from unstable factors of a driving mechanism of the device. The document-image reading device, which reads document image data at a specified time interval given by a reference clock signal, comprises an image sensor that can read a document image while the document-image reading device or the document moves in the feed direction. Additionally, the document-image reading device includes a chart reader for reading a reference chart portion having alternations of high-density and low-density divisions that are arranged one after another at a distance interval equal to the least pitch readable by the document-image reading device. A processor processes image data read from the reference chart portion by using a comb-type filter and by integration.
Abstract:
An etching apparatus has a method for stopping the generation of plasma responsive to the detection of poor cooling of a block electrode, which is provided with an electrode, to prevent the electrode from being cracked because of the thermal expansion of both electrodes so as to reduce the times of electrode exchange. The present invention also provides an etching method including a process of controlling the flow rate and pressure of a cooling gas supplied to a clearance between a substrate to be processed and a block electrode on which the substrate is mounted, so as to enable uniform etching to be applied to the substrate.
Abstract:
A display system has a display device, a display control device, and a laser emitting device. The display device has a display part that displays information on a display screen and a laser detection part having a plurality of optical sensors arranged in the vicinity of the display screen of the display part to detect a laser beam that has reached the display screen.
