Abstract: A film carrier is provided with a roll carrier for supporting a roll film and a sheet carrier for supporting a sheet film, and is arranged to use either one of the carriers as selectively positioning it in a projection optical path. In the film carrier, the sheet carrier is moved to a first retracting position not to interfere with the roll carrier outside the projection optical path when the roll carrier is located on the projection optical path. In contrast, the roll carrier is moved to a second retracting position not to interfere with the sheet carrier outside the projection optical path when the sheet carrier is located on the projection optical path. The sheet carrier and the roll carrier at the first and second retracting positions are arranged so that at least parts thereof overlap vertically.

Abstract: An image treatment apparatus includes a first optical device for projecting an image of a film, a second optical device for projecting an image of an original, a display for displaying the image projected by the first optical device, a reader for reading the images projected by the first and second optical devices and for emitting an image signal, and a switch for selectively directing the image of the film or the image of the original to the reader.

Abstract: There is disclosed an image processing system capable of effectively utilizing a large-sized display unit by expanding the image signals to be displayed.

Abstract: There is disclosed an image processing system composed of a network of plural stations, in which the transmitted image signals can be monitored on real time basis, always utilizing the full image display area and without lack in the displayed image, by suitably converting the image signals.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus comprises first signal output means for producing a signal indicating a recorded area of a recording medium, second signal output means for producing a signal indicating an image area to which an original document is to be copied, and control means for determining whether the recorded area and the copy area overlap based on the signals produced by the first and second signal output means, and if they overlap, issuing an alarm or inhibiting copying of the original document to the recording medium.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus records originals of various sizes onto a recording medium. The image recording apparatus includes a detecting device for detecting the size of the original, and an information recording device for recording information representing the size of the original which is detected by the detecting device for each image recorded on the recording medium.

Abstract: An image processing system has an original reader or an image file for generating an image signal, a soft display, a high-speed printer, a small printer, a work station with a CPU, and a switching device. An image can always be displayed or printed at the center of a display surface or of a recording medium irrespective of a difference in the image and the display surface or recording medium.

Abstract: In an auto-focus apparatus of the invention, an image sensor (e.g., a CCD) produces an image signal corresponding to an image on a microfilm. The image signal from the image sensor is encoded to a binary image signal by a binary encoding circuit. Alternation points (i.e., leading or trailing edges) of the binary image signal are counted by a counter. A system controller fetches count values from the counter, and detects an image position corresponding to a maximum count value. The system controller causes a lens driving circuit to move an imaging lens to the detected image position.

Abstract: An image processing system transmits image information in the form of electrical signals among plural stations for processing. A switching unit is provided to supply plural sets of signals to the plural stations in a parallel manner, thus achieving efficient signal transmission.

Abstract: A storage chamber for temporally storing elongate web is provided between exposure device for imagewisely exposing the elongate web and developing device. After the amount of web in the storage chamber has reached a preset amount, the web is fed from the storage chamber to the developing device, and feeding device is stopped when development of the trailing end of the final exposed section on the web has been terminated after the feed of the web to the developing device has been started.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting the length of web wound on a bobbin. The apparatus detects the amount of rotation of the bobbin and the amount of feed of the web and detects the amount of roll by an operation on the basis of the detected amounts. The amount of rotation of the bobbin is detected by the pulses generated in response to the rotation of the bobbin and counted by a first counter. The amount of feed of the web is detected by the pulses generated in response to the feeding of the web and counted by a second counter. The amount of roll is calculated by an operation device on the basis of the count values of the first and second counters.

Abstract: A photographic apparatus for photographing originals in succession onto a photographic film of a continuous web form and then processing the thus exposed film. The apparatus is provided with a storage chamber located between the photographing station and the processing station for temporarily storing the film advanced from the photographing station, a feeder for feeding the film from the storage chamber to the processing station and a switch for actuating the feeder to feed the film from the storage chamber to the processing station. There are further provided a photographing controller adapted to prohibit the operation of the photographing device when a determined amount of the film is stored in the storage chamber and enable the photographing operation in response to the actuation of said switch, and a cutter for cutting the exposed film.

Abstract: This specification discloses an apparatus for photographing originals successively on a long footage of film. Originals of various sizes such as checks, stock-certificates, vouchers, etc. are photographed on the film. When originals of various sizes are photographed on unphotographed film, how may originals can be photographed on the unphotographed film is displayed. The number of originals photographable on the unphotographed film can be known for each size of original and can also be known as the number of originals having an average size which have hitherto been photographed or as the number of originals having a minimum or a maximum size. Also, in a photographing apparatus wherein photographed film is temporally stored in a storage portion and then fed to a developing portion, how many originals can be photographed on the film that is to be stored in the storage portion is displayed.

Abstract: A photographic apparatus, in which a plurality of image originals are sequentially photographed on a photographic film of a long length, and the thus photographed film is subjected to development. The photographic apparatus is provided with a film storage chamber, where the exposed film is temporarily stored, and the film stored therein is gradually fed by means of film forwarding rollers which operate in accordance with the film quantity staying in the film storage chamber to a film processing device to develop the exposed film.

Abstract: A photoguide member having a first end face opposed to the path followed by a moving body and a second end face through which the light having entered through said first end face exits is disposed along the path of the moving body. The photoguide member is formed of a light transmitting material and has a recess formed in the second end face thereof. Light projected on the moving body enters the photoguide member through its first end face and passes through the photoguide member, whereafter the light travels to photodetector disposed in opposed relationship with the recess in the second end face. The body is detected in accordance with the presence of the light passing to the photodetector. The gap between the photoreception surface of the photodetector and the recess may be filled with a light transmitting material.
