    摘要: There is disclosed an image input method, comprising the steps of: forming an image of a linear area on an original onto a row of linearly arranged light receiving elements of a linear image sensor by a lens, and outputting an image signal of the linear image formed on the light receiving elements from the linear image sensor. Moreover, the linear area formed into the image on the linear image sensor is moved by a sub-scanning mechanism to scan the entire image of the original. The linear image sensor further outputs a flicker detection signal having a voltage corresponding to a lighting light quantity radiating to the original. Assuming that a photoelectric conversion property of the linear image sensor is linear, a correcting section eliminates a voltage fluctuation of the image signal based on a fluctuation of the lighting light quantity based on the flicker detection signal. In this case, a voltage for eliminating an influence by nonlinearity of the photoelectric conversion property of the linear image sensor is added to the image signal or the flicker detection signal inputted to the correcting section by an image signal correction circuit.

    摘要: The present invention realizes a structure that can ensure silence during position adjustment of a steering wheel 8 by a feed screw mechanism 16, and that can achieve an improvement in the protection of a driver at the time of a collision accident. A nut 17 being a driven member is mounted such that it can be detached from an inner column 3a constituting a steering column 1a, based on a shock load applied at the time of a secondary collision. Therefore, at the time of a secondary collision, a threaded rod 18 constituting the feed screw mechanism 16, does not have resistance with respect to displacement of the inner column 3a in the forward direction, and hence an improvement in the protection of the driver can be achieved. Moreover, since an integrated member can be used for the threaded rod 18, silence during the position adjustment can be ensured.

    摘要: The present invention enables to increase the speed of recognizing characters on an undefined-size postal matter such as a flat mail. The flat mail often has an address area different in color or pattern from the flat mail itself. The present invention provides an image input apparatus including pickup means of monochromatic-mode CCD 31 having a fine resolution capable of recognizing characters and pickup means of color-mode CCD 30 having a rough resolution only sufficient for detecting an address area. These pickup means are mounted in a unitary block so that images are taken in from approximately identical positions and a color image is used to detect an address area and a monochromatic image is used to recognize characters, thereby significantly increasing the speed of flat mail classification. An illumination unit 44 is forcibly cooled so as to enable to use a large-output lamp tube 75 capable of illuminating a wide range to assure the character recognition.
