  • Publication number: 20050141048
    Abstract: There is provided an image reading apparatus which reads an image pattern of a medium placed on a detection surface of a sensor array (100). In a waiting state, electrical connection between the sensor array (100) and a drive controller (110, 120) is cut off, and whether a medium is placed on the detection surface or not is detected. When a medium is placed on the detection surface, the sensor array (100) and the drive controller (110, 120) are electrically connected and an image reading operation is started. In a case where the medium is separated from the detection surface during the image reading operation, the image reading operation is suspended and the image reading apparatus is set to the waiting state.

  • Publication number: 20050028448
    Abstract: A door weather strip has a mounting base portion, a hollow seal portion, a sub-seal lip, and a backside seal lip. Leading lips are provided in the middle of a front pillar part in such a way as to connect the backside seal lip to the sub-seal lip. Each of the leading lips forms an acute angle with respect to an extending direction of the backside seal lip. Especially, in an attached state, an intersection angle ? formed between the backside seal slip and each of the leading lips is set to be smaller than an angle ? formed between the extending direction of the backside seal lip, and a vertical line. A large amount of water flowing down a groove like dribbles does not accumulate on the leading lips. Even just a small amount of the water is positively led to the exterior side of an automobile.

  • Patent number: 6744416
    Abstract: A field sequential type liquid crystal display apparatus includes a liquid crystal display device in which unit-color image data of different colors are sequentially written in display elements during the period of one frame composed of three continuous fields, and an illuminating unit placed at the back of the liquid crystal display device to sequentially emit light beams having colors corresponding to the colors of the unit-color image data in accordance with the sequential write of the unit-color image data. The illuminating device is selectively controlled to sequential turn-on of colors, total turn-off by which the emission of all the light beams is stopped, or total turn-on. A semitransparent reflecting film is formed between the liquid crystal display device and the illuminating unit.
