摘要： According to the present invention, there is provided an ink jet recording apparatus for recording an image on a recording medium by discharging ink to the surface of the recording medium, wherein ink is reserved in an ink tank including a negative pressure generating member, such as an absorber and a foaming member, and a function of accurately detecting the residual quantity such that depletion to a predetermined level can be detected is realized. Light emitted by a photointerrupter is allowed to pass through a portion of a wall surface of the ink tank made of transparent plastic or the like which is transmissible with respect to detection light emitted by the photointerrupter to detect change in the light reflectance in the boundary portion between the wall surface and the ink absorber. In accordance with reflectance obtained in a case where no ink exists in the detected portion and that obtained in a case where ink exists, the residual quantity of ink can be detected.

摘要： Step-and-repeat exposure apparatus for printing, by way of a projection optical system, images of a pattern formed on a reticle upon different portions of a semiconductor wafer, placed on a movable stage, is disclosed. On the portion of the movable stage other than the portion upon which the semiconductor wafer is placed, an erasably writable recording medium such as, for example, a magneto-optic recording material or a photochromic material is provided. An image of a mark of a reticle is formed on the recording medium by use of the projection optical system, the thus formed image being photoelectrically detected. From the result of the detection, alignment information concerning, for example, a magnification error, a focus error, a positional error between the reticle and the wafer, for example is obtained.

摘要： In a prior art, since the wavelengths of R, G, and B LEDs serving as the light sources of a CIS scanner vary, read colors vary between individual scanners. Since the behavior of metamerism also changes due to the same reason, measures against the metamerism are hard to take. To solve this problem, a color patch is irradiated with light from an LED, and its spectral reflectivity is measured using a spectroreflectometer, thereby estimating the emission wavelength of the light source LED. A signal change characteristic representing the relationship to the output signals of three LEDs obtained from the spectral reflectivity of the patch is stored in a memory. In actual image reading, color correction is performed based on the signal change characteristic stored in the memory.
