Abstract: A 3D image data publishing method using a computer network, including the steps of providing 3D image photographing means to an image photographing site, causing the image photographing site to acquire image data by photographing an object using the provided 3D image photographing means and transmit the image data to a 3D image data production site, and causing the 3D image data production site to produce 3D image data on the basis of the received image data and publish the 3D image data on the computer network, wherein at least the image photographing site and 3D image data production site are separated.

Abstract: An imaging display system including: an imaging apparatus including an X-Y addressing type solid-state imaging device, a motion detector for specifying a partial area within the whole image area of the solid-state imaging device, a block scan driving signal generator for generating a driving signal used to scan the pixels in a block, that is, an area specified by the motion detector, a thinning-out scan driving signal generator for generating a driving signal used to scan the pixels in the whole image area of the solid-state imaging device while thinning them at a given thinning ratio, and a driving signal switching unit for switching the block scan driving signal and thinning-out scan driving signal; and a display apparatus including a memory for storing picture information transmitted from the imaging apparatus, and a display unit for displaying a picture corresponding to the picture information stored in the memory.

Abstract: First and second electrodes are formed on a pair of opposite surfaces of a polyimide film. The first and second electrodes respectively have a large number of small holes which oppose each other through the polyimide film. An excimer laser beam is radiated on one of the first and second electrodes. A portion of the excimer laser beam radiated on the electrodes is reflected by the electrode surfaces. The remaining portion of the laser beam radiated inside the holes of the electrodes disconnects the chemical bond of the polyimide without generating heat. As a result, holes each having a sectional shape defined by a corresponding hole fomed in the electrodes are formed in the solid insulating body.

Abstract: The disclosed process produces a plurality of copies of an original by repeating development of the same electrostatic latent image of the original once formed on a charge retentive member and transfer of the thus developed image onto plural sheets of recording paper, wherein the development is effected by using a magnetic brush having a non-magnetic sleeve with an electrically-insulating surface layer and a two-component developer containing toner and a carrier with a volume resistivity of less than 10.sup.10 .OMEGA..multidot.cm and higher than 10.sup.7 .OMEGA..multidot.cm.
