摘要:
A copying apparatus includes a copying machine unit, an operation portion having a central processing unit and an image processing unit having a central processing unit. A workstation is connected to the operation portion through the image processing unit. Data communication is performed between the workstation and the image processing unit and between the image processing unit and the operation portion. The image formation processing performed by the copying machine unit is controlled based on a command generated by operating the workstation.

An apparatus for and a method of detecting a dotted image area in an image. It is judged on the basis of image data corresponding to pixels in a first judging area which includes a predetermined number of pixels including a target pixel whether or not the target pixel is a peculiar point pixel (a peak pixel or a dip pixel). Further, it is judged on the basis of image data corresponding to pixels in a second judging area which is larger than the first judging area whether or not the target pixel is a peculiar point pixel. The dotted image area in the image is detected on the basis of the results of judgment related to the first judging area and the second judging area.
摘要:
An image processing controller sets various data necessary for an image forming operation by performing a data communication with an operation unit of an electrographic copying machine. The image processing controller has a pseudo operation task having a function equivalent to the function of the operation unit with respect to data transfer and an image processing control task for performing a handshaking with the pseudo operation task. The pseudo operation task and the image processing control task are constituted by operation programs of a CPU provided in the image processing controller.
摘要:
The average value of each of yellow, magenta and cyan color image data of a color-to-be-converted which data are obtained at the time of pre-scanning of a copying machine and stored in memories, respectively, is calculated, and then, predetermined set values are respectively added to and subtracted from the calculated average values of yellow, magenta and cyan to obtain upper and lower limit values of the conversion range. When the lower limit value obtained by subtraction is below a predetermined lower limit restriction value, the lower limit restriction value is set as the lower limit value of the conversion range. With this feature, when an extremely pale color is specified as a color-to-be-converted in a region other than a background portion of a color original where no letters, etc. are printed, the color of the background portion is not converted together with the specified color.

A limiting current type oxygen analyzer designed for detecting oxygen concentration comprising a solid electrolyte element made from an oxygen ion conductive metal oxide and a pair of porous film electrodes provided on the inner and outer sides of said element respectively, at least one side electrodes being coated with a gas-diffusive resistive layer made from a porous insulating metal oxide, wherein the oxygen ions in the gas to which said element is exposed are caused to diffuse in the inside of said electrolyte element by applying a given voltage across said both electrodes and the limiting current corresponding to the concentration of said diffused oxygen ions is measured to determine the oxygen concentration in the gas to be analyzed, further characterized in that said gas-diffusive resistive layer is composed of a three-layer structure consisting of the first, second and third layers counted from the electrode side, said first layer having porosity of 11-15%, the second layer 6-8% and the third layer 15-20%.
摘要:
An oxygen sensor for detecting an oxygen concentration in a gas under test such as exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine of an automobile. The oxygen sensor comprises an oxygen concentration sensing element made of an oxygen ion conductive metal oxide which produces an electromotive force in accordance with a difference between an oxygen concentration in the gas under test and an oxygen concentration in a reference gas, a porous layer of refractory metal oxide formed on a surface of the oxygen concentration sensing element which is to be exposed to the gas under test, and an electrode formed thereon. The peel-off of the electrode is prevented and a high-response oxygen sensor is provided.
摘要:
An apparatus for and a method of reliably detecting a very small dotted image area. A detecting area including a predetermined number of pixels including a target pixel is set. It is judged whether or not the detecting area belongs to a dotted image area on the basis of the number of edge pixels in the detecting area. Consequently, it is possible to detect edges peculiar to the dotted image area on the basis of a leading edge portion or a trailing edge portion of the density, to detect the very small dotted image area on the basis of the number of edge pixels.

An image forming apparatus is provided with a zoom processing circuit, a scanning optical system and an enlarging/reducing circuit. The enlargement/reduction of the formed image in the main scanning direction is performed by the zoom processing circuit and an enlarging/reducing circuit, and the enlargement/reduction in the sub scanning direction is performed by the scanning speed of the scanning optical system and the enlarging/reducing circuit. When a magnification within a magnification range depending on the zoom processing circuit and the scanning optical system is specified, the enlargement/reduction of the input image data by the enlarging/reducing circuit is not performed.
