摘要:
A picture data processing device in which a region specifying original having markings which physically define a region of interest of an original document to be processed is read and stored. When the original document is read, the stored markings are reproduced to mask out the areas of the original document other than the region of interest. A signal processing operation, such as extraction, rearrangement, or size alteration with respect to the selected region can then be performed.

A character and image data reading system for a character and image data reading apparatus has an auxiliary scanning mechanism which moves an original relative to a solid image pickup element in a stepwise manner by a predetermined distance during an integration period of the pickup element so that a light receiving window of the pickup element covers a region corresponding to at least an auxiliary scanning width.

The invention relates to an image transmission process such as facsimile transmission wherein image data is converted into an electrical signal, transmitted over lines and then converted into a recorded image at the receiving end. Specifically, the invention concerns a process wherein conventional commercial electric power lines are used as the transmission line, such that facsimile or other image transmission may be easily effected within, for example, a single building or similarly limited area.

In an apparatus for reading a color image on an original wherein the color image is illuminated and scanned by light from a plurality of light sources each having different spectrum to discriminate color of the color image on the basis of the reflected light from the original, these plurality of light sources are driven by a driving signal which is produced in synchronism with original read scanning.

A method and apparatus for correcting the photoelectric converter of a document reading unit for non-linearities produced by the optics of the system. A test document having no image data thereon is scanned to produce a shade correction signal which is subjected to A/D conversion and stored in a memory. In binary-encoding the picture data of the original, a switch is operated according to the data stored in the memory so as to change a threshold level for the picture signal, whereby digital picture data whose shading has been corrected is obtained. In the case where the picture data of the original are represented by an analog signal, the picture data are also subjected to A/D conversion, and division is carried out with the data stored in the memory being employed as dividends. From the results of such a division, corrected multi-level picture data is obtained.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for controlling the phase of a system clock, in which one of a first clock signal and a second clock signal is selected and output to a system as a system clock signal, the first clock signal being generated by a frequency synthesizer synchronized with an external clock signal supplied from a reference clock signal oscillator provided externally of the system, and the second clock signal being supplied from another reference clock signal oscillator provided internally of the system, and the phases of the first and second clock signals are controlled, prior to switching between the first and second clock signals and supplying the switched clock signal to the system as the system clock signal. The switching is delayed for a period while there is a phase shift between the first and second clock signal , when the system clock signal is switched between the first and second clock signal.

A thermal recording apparatus operates to efficiently utilize a smaller capacity power supply by the provision of a capacitor in parallel with the power supply source. The capacitor is discharged during printing cycles and is recharged in the interval between the end of one line printing operation and the beginning of the next. This interval is increased in proportion to the percentage of black bits printed in a given line, such that the capacitor may be sufficiently charged and the power supply efficiently used.

A thermal head driving system having a plurality of thermal heads, an electric power source commonly used to drive the heads at the same voltage. A pulse generator provided between the power source and each of the heads for producing a driving pulse having a width determined in accordance with a ratio of a resistance value of each thermal head. The plurality of thermal heads are accordingly driven by the respective driving pulses corresponding thereto to effectuate thermal recording.
