摘要:
A sheet feeding apparatus includes a sheet supporting device for supporting sheets, a supply device for feeding the sheets supported by the sheet supporting device in a sheet feeding direction, a separating claw device for separating, one-by-one, the sheets fed by the supply device by regulating at least one front corner of the sheets relative to the sheet feeding direction. A switching device selectively switches positions of the separating claw device between a first position where the separating claw device is separated from the sheet supporting device and a second position where the separating claw device is adjacent to the sheet supporting device. A separation device separates, one-by-one, the sheets fed by the supply device in a condition that the separating claw device is in the second position.

An image recording apparatus which includes a conveying device for conveying a transfer recording medium having a transfer recording layer whose transfer characteristics change when a first energy and a second energy different from the first energy are applied thereto. A recording section is disposed along a conveying route of the transfer recording medium conveyed by the conveying device and having a first energy applying device for applying the first energy to the transfer recording medium and a second energy applying device for applying the second energy thereto. A tension imparting device is used for imparting tension to the transfer recording medium in such a manner that the transfer recording medium is pressed against the first energy applying device. A transfer device for transferring an image formed on the transfer recording medium in the recording section to a recording medium and a conveying device for conveying the recording medium to a discharge section via the transfer device are also employed.

An information processing apparatus and method which performs character recognition based on a character pattern inputted in a form of a handwritten character or coordinate data. A sample character registration unit stores feature data of a sample character pattern, and a feature extraction unit obtains feature information of the input character pattern from the input coordinate data by FFT. The coordinate data representing the input character pattern and the sample character pattern registered in the sample character registration unit are compared, and a sample character corresponding to the input character pattern is recognized. The sample character pattern is transformed and displayed in accordance with the characteristic of the input character pattern based on the feature information from the feature extraction unit.

A coordinates input device connected to an image processing system such as a copying machine for reading an image recorded on a recording medium and for editing this image. This device includes: a transparent vibration propagating plate to designate an editing area for trimming or masking in contact relation with the recording medium from which the image was read by the image processing system; a vibration pen to input a supersonic vibration by coming into contact with the vibration propagating plate; vibration sensors which are attached to the plate and detect the vibration generated from the vibration pen; and a controller for supplying to the image processing system the editing area information for the recording medium designated by the coordinates of the vibration pen on the plate which were detected by the vibration sensors. The propagation times of the supersonic vibration which is propagated by the vibration propagating plate to the vibration sensors are measured and the coordinates of the position of the vibration pen are calculated on the basis of the measured vibration propagation times. With this apparatus, a desired editing area on an original image can be easily designated through the transparent input tablet and the editing information can be easily controlled.
摘要:
Sound waves from a plate-shaped acoustic source, which generates fundamental waves (sound waves) having at least two frequencies, propagate through a propagating portion. The propagating portion consists of a medium in which a non-linear interaction is induced by the fundamental waves. A secondary sound wave having a frequency conforming to the difference between the two fundamental waves is generated by the medium. Fundamental wave components other than the secondary sound wave are absorbed by an acoustic absorber so that only the secondary sound wave is delivered as an output. The acoustic source, propagating portion and acoustic absorber are substantially transparent and stacked in three layers. This allows the resulting acoustic output device to be incorporated in the display unit of an electronic apparatus.

The present invention relates to an original illuminating apparatus for use in electrophotographic copying machine, original reader of fascimile equipment, etc. The illumination apparatus includes a transparent member for defining a window through which the original is opposed to the optical system for projecting an image of the original on a photosensitive surface. The transparent member is fixed to and supported by a supporting part. The illumination light emitted from a light source is reflected towards the original so as to illuminate it by the reflected light. According to the present invention, the transparent member supporting part and the light reflecting part are formed integrally with a heat conductive member so that the two parts are thermally connected with each other. A heat pipe is provided to deprive the heat conductive member of heat thereby preventing a rise of temperature of the transparent member.

摘要:
A transfer recording medium comprises a transfer recording layer, which causes an irreversible change in transfer characteristic when provided with plural kinds of energies, at least one of which is applied imagewise, to provide a transferable portion or latent image portion in the transfer recording layer. The transferable portion is then transferred to a medium such as plain paper to form a transferred image thereon, which is then fixed by application of at least one of light, heat and pressure. The fixing step is effective, e.g., in providing a recorded image with improved stability against environments and elapse of time, color reproducibility and color densities through functional separation from the transfer step.
