Abstract: A transmitter includes a processor that connects to a sensor for outputting measurement data and outputs setting data based on the measurement data, a current controller that outputs output data based on the setting data from the processor, a current output interface that outputs a first current signal based on the output data from the current controller, and a current input interface that receives input of a second current signal and outputs input data based on the second current signal to the current controller. The current input interface outputs internal input data based on the first current signal to the current controller as the input data when receiving input of the first current signal as the second current signal. The current controller detects failure of the transmitter by comparing the setting data and the internal input data.

Abstract: An automatic adjusting apparatus for adjusting equipment which comprises an adjustment state detecting section and a processing section. The detecting section detects an adjustment state of the equipment so as to output one or a plurality of adjustment state indexes on the basis of the detected adjustment state and the processing section performs the process on the basis of the adjustment state index to adjust the equipment. The processing section is equipped with an adjustment state evaluation section for calculating and outputting, on the basis of the adjustment state index, an adjustment evaluation value and an adjustment amount calculation section for calculating, on the basis of the adjustment state index, adjustment amounts for one or a plurality of portions of the equipment. Also included in the processing section is an adjustment control section for selecting, on the basis of the adjustment evaluation value, an adjustment amount from the outputs of the calculation section.

Abstract: A color correction apparatus for use in an apparatus such as a color copier for operating on data obtained by scanning and color analysis of a source image to obtain color density data for use in printing a copy of the source image, the correction apparatus containing a neural network. Parameter values of the neural network are established by repetitive computations based on amounts of difference between color density data previously used to print a plurality of color samples and color density data produced by the neural network in response to color analysis data obtained by analyzing these color samples.

Abstract: An apparatus for printing signal correction and printer operation control, for use in applications such as color copiers, utilizes a neural network to convert input image signals, derived for example by scanning and analyzing an original image, into printing density signals which are supplied to a printer. In addition, a detection signal expressing at least one internal environmental condition of the printer, such as temperature, is inputted to the neural network, so that the output printing density signals are automatically compensated for changes in internal environment of the printer.

Abstract: A data compression and recovery apparatus compresses picture element data of a color image by expressing two primary color values of each picture element as a set of parameter values of a neural network in conjunction with reference color data values of a corresponding block of picture elements. Date recovery is achieved by inputting each block of reference color values to a neural network while establishing the corresponding set of parameter values in the network, to thereby obtain the original pair of encoded primary color values for each of successive picture elements. The third primary color can be used as the reference color.
