Abstract: An image display control method for controlling an image display unit having a first memory for storing a plurality of images from a remote location through a predetermined line includes the steps of receiving first data for indicating an image to be displayed and second data indicating a time to display the image indicated by the first data through the predetermined line, and storing the received first data and second data in a second memory. In addition, the image indicated by the first data from the first memory is read when the time indicated by the stored second data is reached and the image on the image display unit is displayed.

Abstract: A scale comprising a regular arrangement of optically or magnetically different response characteristics such as light reflection and light diffusion portions or light reflection and absorption portions is attached to a moving object either directly or by way of an intermediate member. The scale can be attached to a motor or the like even after assembling with associated mechanical components, thereby enabling easy measurement of the mode of operation of the motor or similar movable objects. The light beam from the light emitting device is directed to the label media and the reflected light beam is received by a light receiving device to identify the individual object or product based on the label.

Abstract: Characteristic parameters of a torque of a stepping motor and its associated driving current or voltage are measured in advance to providetorque vs. characteristic information data representative of the torque vs. driving current/voltage characterisitcs. Then, the above characteristic parameters are measured again when a real load is applied to a stepping motor as installed with associated mechanical coupling components. An actual load torque is determined by referencing the subsequently measured characteristic parameters to the previously obtained torque vs. characteristic information data. A load inertia moment can be determined by subtracting the motor's rotor inertia moment from a determined inertia moment of the entire system. Efficiency of the motor can be determined by multiplying the output of the measured load torque by the nuber of revolutions per second thereof and dividing this by the power supplied to the motor or driving circuit.

Abstract: An image processing system includes an image reader unit which reads an image so as to generate it as 4-bit data, and a communication unit for converting the 4-bit data into 6-bit data. The communication unit forms the 6-bit data in such a manner that an upper 2-bit component of the 4-bit data is added to the 4-bit data as a lower 2-bit component of the 6-bit data. The resultant 6-bit data is supplied to a binary printer and is subjected to halftone processing and printing. Image signals having different bit numbers can be processed and excellent image reproduction can be achieved with a simple system.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a technique of effecting recording on a recording medium by a plurality of recording elements, wherein recording density by the plurality of recording elements is varied. Further, the recording density by the plurality of recording elements is varied in accordance with a time required for electrical transmission of informations to be recorded for definite numbers of scanning lines. For example, when the time required for such electrical transmission is short, the recording is effected by small numbers of the recording elements, while, when the time required for the electrical transmission is long, the recording operation is effected by large numbers of the recording elements, thereby preventing the image quality from lowering.

Abstract: In the transmission of binary image signals obtained by scanning of an original document, a high signal compression ratio without deterioration in image quality is achieved by subjecting the binary image signals to a selective thinning process in which the signals of a run-length within a determined range are converted into signals of a determined length and by subsequently coding thus selectively thinned signals. A further improved signal compression is also established without deterioration of image quality by conducting, prior to the selective thinning process, preliminary processes such as elimination of isolated dots in the image or smoothing in the principal and auxiliary scanning directions.
