  • Patent number: 5006935
    Abstract: There is disclosed a recording/reproducing system comprising an optical system for directing along a path of an electromagnetic radio ray from an object toward a recording medium, and a recording head disposed in the path for generating a charge latent image onto the medium. The feature of the system resides in that the recording head (system) forms the detection region which is not entirely subject to the influence of the electromagnetic radio ray and which is provided in a portion of the charge recording region of the medium, and in that a reproducing system discriminates the polarity of charges or the recording mode of the charge latent image recorded onto the medium by detecting the charges in the dectection region.

  • Patent number: 4896169
    Abstract: An apparatus for recording a binary image of a printed circuit pattern on photosensitive material. First and second rows of recording spots scan the photosensitive material. The second row is shifted by a length corresponding to approximately half the diameter of the recording spots. Each of the recording spots covers an area equal to approximaqtely four pixels. Whether a pixel is to be exposed is determined on the basis of a logical sum or product of data corresponding to four adjacent pixels.
