Abstract:
A reflection-type overhead projector having a projection lamp and projection lens-and-mirror system disposed above a base on a gooseneck arm for projecting a transparency placed on the base on a remote screen. The overhead projector has a copying device incorporated therein for making a copy from a reflective original on a secondary original or a transparency, which comprises an image-scanning head movable lengthwise over the reflective original placed on a Fresnel mirror on the base to provide image signals; a mirror attached to the image scanning head for directing light from the projection lamp onto the reflective original just below the image scanning head; and a thermal printing head for thermally printing an image of the reflective original on a secondary original or a transparency according to the image signals.
Abstract:
An enclosure that can be utilized with an image capture device for digitizing documents can include a bin having a platform panel, an aperture panel, and side support panels. The aperture panel comprises an aperture passing through it. Documents or objects may be gathered and/or stored within the bin. When a user desires to digitally capture the documents or objects, the user may turn the bin on its side so that the aperture panel is on top and the platform panel is on bottom, place a document on the platform with the document facing the aperture, place an image capture device on the aperture panel with the image capture sensor aligned with the aperture and therefore facing the document, and capture an image of the document.
Abstract:
Embodiments of scan stand systems or kits for positioning a document or other object to be imaged or scanned in relation to an imaging device are described. Also described are embodiments of systems for video conferencing/telephony/scanning and optical projection functions.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes: a moving body on which a catch receiving portion is formed and which is movable in a predetermined direction; a fixing body on which a catching portion is formed to catch the catch receiving portion, and which is movable in a direction substantially orthogonal to the predetermined direction; a first position retaining portion for engaging a projected portion, formed on either one of a housing and the fixing body, with a first recessed portion formed on the other so that the fixing body can be retained in a position in which the catching portion catches the catch receiving portion; and a second position retaining portion for engaging the projected portion with a second recessed portion, formed on either the housing or the fixing body on which the first recessed portion is formed.
Abstract:
An ergonomic, compact scanner operation is achieved by providing a flatbed scanner and a sheet fed scanner in a space efficient arrangement with optimal access features for users. Documents traverse the sheet fed scanner along a path that allows inclusion of an easily accessible flat bed scanner.
Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus includes a support assembly, a holding member, and an image capturing member. The support assembly includes a base member and a support member. The support member is configured for receiving a paper printed photo. The holding member is rotatably connected to the support member. The image capturing member is mounted on a bottom surface of the holding member. When the holding member is kept in an open position, the image capturing member is activated to capture an image of the paper printed photo received in the base member.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a portable magnifier camera that can be selectively positioned into a variety of configurations. At least four distinct viewing configurations are provided: a reading mode wherein the camera rests flatly upon the viewed object; a writing mode wherein the camera rests at an angle upon the viewed object; a hand-held mode wherein the user holds the camera relative to a distant object; and an inspection mode wherein the user holds the viewed object relative to the camera. These configurations enable a user to effectively view objects of differing size and at varying distances.
