Abstract: The immigration system includes a travel document insertion port for accepting a travel document retaining individual information which specifies a bearer, a reader for reading individual information from the travel document inserted into the insertion port by a bearer, an acquiring portion for acquiring the bearer's biological information, and a collator for collating the individual information acquired by the acquiring portion with the individual information read from the bearer's travel document by the reader. Further, the system includes an examination portion for examining the passing of a bearer for approval or disapproval based on the result of collation in the collator, a passing ticket issuer for issuing a passing ticket to the bearer who is approved to pass, and a gate for approving the passing of a traveler by accepting the inserted passing ticket issued from the passing ticket issuer.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed which processes image data. This apparatus comprises an input section which receives image data to be processed, and a memory section which has at least a first memory and a second memory. An input control unit receives the image data input by the input section, to allow it to be stored in the first memory. A display controller reads out the image data stored in the first memory, to display it on a display unit. A indicating unit allows all of the image data displayed on the display unit to be indicated as one unit to be registered for editing. A registration controller allows all of the image data to be stored, as one unit to be registered for editing, in the second memory, indicated in accordance with an indication made by the indicating unit.

Abstract: An optical disc apparatus is disclosed, which comprises an optical head for obtaining an information signal from an optical disc through photoelectric conversion and an accessing section for moving the optical head to a position corresponding to a desired track of the optical disc. When the optical optical head is moved in a radial direction of the optical disc, the signal obtained therefrom is binarized by a binarization coder to obtain a binary pulse signal. Noise components contained in the binary pulse signal that are introduced from scars or scratches of the optical disc or dust particles attached thereto are removed from the binary pulse signal. Signal components corresponding to the innermost track of the optical disc are detected as a signal representing a reference position of the optical disc. A correction scale value is obtained from the difference between the reference position and an initial position of a scale of a position detector.

Abstract: A data recording apparatus is provided which has a recording/reproduction head for recording data on or reproducing the data from a recording medium, a moving mechanism for moving the recording/reproducing head on the recording medium, an error detector for detecting an error in accordance with a signal from the recording/reproduction head in the recording mode, and a control section for detecting that an access to a recording start track cannot be made by the recording/reproduction head for recording data, for determining a track number in the vicinity of the recording start track by the recording/reproduction head in accordance with a detection result, and for controlling a moving mechanism to move the recording/reproduction head to a target track ahead of a predetermined number of tracks which correspond to a distance between the target track and the recording start track without performing recording of data on the predetermined number of tracks in accordance with a detection result from a tracking error d

Abstract: An optical disk apparatus is provided in which a track pitch is computed in accordance with a track number currently corresponding to a recording/reproduction head and with a scale value detected by a position detection section when the difference between a scale value obtained by a scale translator and the scale value detected by the position detection section exceeds a predetermined number of tracks, thereby correcting a track pitch used in the scale translator using the computed track pitch.

Abstract: In a document information filing system of the present invention, the document picture information and the filing information are recorded in a longitudinal video recorder (LVR). When one of the codes forming a retrieval code of the filing information is called for by a keyboard input operation, a plurality of the retrieval codes containing the called for code are selected from the LVR and then sequentially stored in a title memory. Different sequence codes are added to each of the retrieval codes by means of a sequence code addition circuit. The sequence codes and the retrieval codes are displayed in a corresponding manner by a display device. When a particular sequence code is designated by an operator, the filing information containing the retrieval code with the particular sequence code are read out from the LVR and the picture information corresponding to the filing information are displayed by the display device and/or printed.

Abstract: The surface of an original is scanned in the direction of lines with a laser beam to obtain read-out data from the reflected light beam from the original, and the read-out data for a line are first stored in a line buffer memory. Then, during the scanning for the next line by the laser beam the data which have been stored in the line buffer memory are read out and used to modulate a laser beam, with the laser beam thus modulated being led to a light-sensitive drum for making duplication of information of the read-out data.
