Abstract:
A rotation stabilizing device includes a rotary member rotated around a rotating center axis, an inertia member vibrating in accordance with a change of rotating speed of the rotary member, and a viscoelastic connector for detachably connecting the inertia member to the rotary member. The viscoelastic connector has viscosity and elasticity so as to change form in accordance with vibration of the inertia member. The inertia member is connected to at least one of an outer side and an inner side of the rotary member at a same phase in a direction of the rotating center axis of the rotary member by the viscoelastic connector.
Abstract:
The invention concerns image-recording apparatus, which records an image onto a sheet-film. The image-recording apparatus includes a mainframe; a main/sub-scanning unit that includes a main-scanning unit to expose a light-beam onto a sheet-film by scanning the light-beam in a main-scanning direction and a sub-scanning unit to convey the sheet-film in a sub-scanning direction; and a supporting member to mount and support the main/sub-scanning unit onto the mainframe at a supporting position. The height of the supporting position is substantially the same as that of a center of gravity of the main/sub-scanning unit. The sub-scanning unit is detachably integrated with the main-scanning unit to form the main/sub-scanning unit.
Abstract:
A translation system comprising: a linear support having first and second opposite ends; a carriage slid ably mounted on said support for movement in reciprocal linear directions between said first and second ends of said support; a rotary drive rotatable in opposite rotary directions located at one end of said support; a rotatable member mounted at the other end of said support; and a multiple cable assembly attached to said carriage and extending around said rotary drive and said rotatable member moving said carriage in said reciprocal linear directions as a function of rotation of said rotary drive in said opposite rotary directions.
Abstract:
A vibration-proof device for an upper transparency adapter (UTA) of a scanner is provided. The vibration-proof device includes a supporter for coupling a slide rod mounted in a cover of the upper transparency adapter for an optic source carriage to be slidably coupled thereto, a positioning member for retaining in place the supporter in the cover and an elastic member interposed between the supporter and a base of the cover for providing the supporter with an upward elastic force so as to resiliently abut the optic source carriage against a glass panel attached to the cover.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus utilizing an indirect-contact transmission arrangement. The image reading apparatus includes a securing apparatus for placing a object for scanning; an image receiving apparatus; a guiding shaft; a transmitting component which can slide along the guiding shaft and drive the securing apparatus to move relatively to the image receiving apparatus via an indirect-contact component; and a dragging component which connects and drives the transmitting component. The indirect-contact component prevents the dragging component from transmitting vibrations generated during the scanning process to either the securing apparatus or the image receiving apparatus.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a supporting member extended between the first and the second frames and supporting an exposure unit, wherein the primary resonance frequency of the supporting member is higher than that of a mirror provided in the exposure unit, whereby the supporting member is prevented from being caused to resonate by oscillation generated in the driving system of the apparatus main body to thereby prevent the mirror from oscillating.
Abstract:
A contact image sensor module having a plurality of spring mountings is provided to allow the CIS module contact tightly with the bottom surface side of the sheet table. The spring mountings are made of spring steel so that they are soft and elastic enough to support the CIS module. The spring mountings are engaged to the CIS module in a manner that ear-shaped spring steel plates are formed to rest on the side walls of the carriage for absorbing the shock of the CIS module. When conveyed by a carriage, the present invention can be adapted to any flatbed scanner having either a single guiding device or a pair of guiding device.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a universal Contact Image Sensor (CIS) carriage for a flatbed scanner which can be adapted to various guiding and supporting structures, thereby to simplify the structure of the scanner and reduce the manufacture cost and maintenance fee. The CIS carriage consists of a bar-shaped carriage for holding a CIS module, a plurality of elastic elements, and a CIS module. The CIS carriage is lifted up to contact tightly with the bottom surface side of the sheet table to assure the sheet in focus, thereby to generate stable picture quality of images.
Abstract:
A method, processor, and non-transitory computer-readable medium are disclosed for real-time video stabilization and encoding in a single motion estimation pass for each frame. The method includes performing motion estimation on a stabilized current frame and determining a global motion vector using motion estimation information obtained in the performing of motion estimation on the stabilized current frame. A subsequent frame in a video stream is stabilized using this global motion vector. Motion estimation is performed on the stabilized subsequent frame.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus comprises: a guide portion that is linked to a driving portion and extends so as to guide the movement of a reading carriage; a guide rail that guides the reading carriage while supporting the reading carriage; and an interlocking portion that is provided in the reading carriage, has a first sliding surface that makes contact with the guide rail on the side of the guide rail facing the guide portion and a second sliding surface that makes contact with the guide rail on the side of the guide rail that is on the opposite side as the guide portion. The position at which the first sliding surface of the interlocking portion makes contact with the guide rail is lower on the guide rail than the position at which the second sliding surface of the interlocking portion makes contact with the guide rail.
