摘要:
A multi-tone image processing method and apparatus in which mutually dissimilar tone levels are realized by changing the additive condition of recording energy by means of different recording positions, even when the number of recording operations within a specific range is identical. For example, in an electrophotographic apparatus, when the number of irradiation by a light spot within a specific range remains constant as the irradiation position is changed in the specific range, there is a change in the additive condition of the optical energy within said specific range. Thus, the area rendered visible within the aforesaid specific range also changes, thereby changing the tone level.

In an optical pickup device for emitting at least two laser beams suitable for respective optical recording mediums selectively operated on an optical disk driver so that a signal is read out from and/or recorded onto the selected one of the optical recording mediums, an anamorphic system is arranged to change a cross-sectional shape of one of the laser beams from an oval toward a circle between a divergence point and a confluence point along the one of the laser beam between an upstream common optical paths of the laser beams from the light beam source and a downstream common optical paths of the laser beams toward the objective lens, at which divergence point the laser beams from the upstream common optical path diverge from each other, and at which confluence point the laser beams converge into the downstream common optical path.

A float textile having an improved optical interference function, containing a float texture yarn formed by combining three or more multi-filament yarns each comprising, as a constituent unit, optically interfering mono-filaments which are formed by alternately laminating layers of at least two polymers having different refractive indices and which have flattening ratio of 4 to 15 and by interlacing the multi-filament yarns to form 20 or less interlaces per meter, used as a warp float and/or weft float component, and having a float number of 2 or more. A spun-dyed textile which is formed by combining a large number of optically interfering multi-filament yarns can provide a float textile which can exhibit a bright color development effect and can expand the utility thereof to room interior and car interior fields.
摘要:
A pair of chucks, which grip end portions of a cylindrical glass tube blank, are moved by a chuck moving mechanism toward each other, so that softened glass in an intermediate portion of the cylindrical glass tube blank is gathered, thereby forming a shape that is suitable for blow molding a light emitting tube portion. In the approaching movement, the position of one chuck is detected by using a laser position detector, and a result of the detection is fed back to the chuck moving mechanism, so as to control the approach distances of the chucks. The laser position detector detects the position of the chuck itself. Therefore, even when the positional relationship between the chuck and the chuck moving mechanism is varied, or backlash or deformation occurs in the chuck moving mechanism, the correct position of the chuck still is detected irrespective of such variation, backlash or deformation. Consequently, it is possible to effectively prevent the approach distances of the chucks from deviating from a desired value.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus stores a plurality of patterns, each pattern defines at least an irradiation energy amount and irradiation position(s), which facilitate the irradiation of a photosensitive member in accordance with image data. Irradiation of a photosensitive member effects the formation of latent images along the surface of the photosensitive member. The latent images are developed using a toner carrying member which includes a thin film developing sleeve which confronts the photosensitive member and carries toner.
