摘要:
An original reading apparatus reads out an original which is laid with its surface to be read being directed upward, to thereby convert the read information into an image information. The original reading apparatus has a digitizer function so that a partial reading region of the original is assigned and read out after operator's confirmation by direct observation from an upper side of the surface to be read of the original. A transparent plate on which is depicted reference coordinates for showing a readable region of the apparatus is provided in the vicinity of the original, and a position of the original is finely adjusted on the basis of the reference coordinates. A reading sensor and a carriage mechanism of the original reading apparatus are received in a rotatable upper cover of the apparatus. In case of a large size original, the information thereof is read without any fold or cut of the original.

An ink-jet printer including an ink jet nozzle for ejecting ink droplets onto the recording paper which is moved relative to the nozzle so that dots of ink are printed in the form of a pattern. The trajectory of flying ink droplets is deflected along the direction of the relative movement under control based on the measurement of the relative movement speed.

In an ink-jet recording device in which a nozzle is so excited that ink droplets jetted from the nozzle are alternately separated into large-diameter ink droplets and small-diameter ink droplets, and recording ink droplets to be stuck onto the recording surface are made to fly straight while nonrecording ink droplets are charged and deflected to be retrieved by a gutter, there are provided a nonrecording ink droplet sense circuit and a correction signal generator circuit for generating correction charging voltage when an ink droplet to be controlled is generated provided that the preceding ink droplet is a nonrecording ink droplet and the ink droplet to be controlled is a recording ink droplet.

While the excitation voltage of an ink jet nozzle is swept on the logarithmic scale, the generation state of ink droplets at a phase .theta..sub.k is examined. An excitation voltage value Vn generating an ink droplet of small diameter at the phase .theta..sub.k, an excitation voltage value Vn generating an ink droplet of large diameter at the phase .theta..sub.k, which is lower than vn, and an excitation voltage value Vn+1 generating an ink droplet of large diameter at the phase .theta..sub.k, which is higher than vn are stored. Difference values expressed asWn=vn-Vnwn=Vn-1-vnare derived on the logarithmic scale. Then the nozzle excitation voltage is set at such a value as to generate ink droplets and minimize the value of .vertline.Wn-wn.vertline..

In an ink jet recording apparatus, an amplification-degree control circuit is associated with an amplifier circuit amplifying a detection signal indicative of the quantity of charge of charged ink droplets, so as to decrease the degree of signal amplification by the amplifier circuit when a charging signal is applied to a charging electrode charging the ink droplets, but to increase the degree of signal amplification by the amplifier circuit when the quantity of charge of the charged ink droplets is detected from the detection signal.

A digital camera includes a zoom function for supporting a user when performing a frame assist, and includes an operation switch for instructing startup and completion of the zoom function on an operation unit. A system control unit stores a zoom position in a memory and varies the zoom position in a wide angle position according to a preset zoom-out drive amount when an instruction to startup the zoom function is given by the operation switch. Then, when the instruction to end the zoom function is given by the operation switch, the system control unit executes a zoom-in operation by returning to the zoom position that is stored in the memory.

In a halftoning unit of a laser printer and the like, a high speed, high density and high gradations halftoning is realized by multi-value implementation by clustered dot concentrated dither halftoning (known as a sub-matrix method) and PWM distributing gradation among the plurality of halftone dots with a small memory and circuit. For this purpose, the value of the difference between an input gradation value ni and a threshold value nc, &Dgr;n=ni−nc, is shortened within a range of 0 to &Dgr;h and the lower s bit of &Dgr;h is removed by a round-down or round-up process. Meanwhile, a threshold array is generated from an extended threshold pattern obtained by combining threshold patterns of 2s whose threshold interval is &Dgr;h, i.e. &Dgr;Ah×K, &Dgr;h×K+1, . . . , &Dgr;×K+2(s−1). Thereby, a halftone dot dither process in which the PWM gradation increases distributively among the 2s dots may be realized with a small scale memory and circuit.
摘要:
An image capturing apparatus using a limited-rewriteable storage medium is disclosed. The image capturing apparatus writes generated image data in the limited-rewriteable storage medium at the time of shooting processing. On the other hand, an internal memory in the image capturing apparatus holds management information such as a FAT and directory entry. The apparatus writes the management information in the limited-rewriteable storage medium after the contents of the information are determined.
