  • Patent number: 8553056
    Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a recording head connected to a plurality of laser emitters provided in a line; a linear motor displacing the recording head in a secondary scanning direction; and an apparatus controller controlling the emission of laser light from the recording head and displacement of the recording head by the displacer. In response to rotation of a drum, one cycle of scanning by the recording head in a main scanning direction of a plate is completed. For each drum rotation, the apparatus controller displaces the recording head in the secondary scanning direction by displacement amount smaller than the recording width in the secondary scanning direction according to laser light emitted from the plurality of laser emitters.

  • Patent number: 4901210
    Abstract: A device for use with a motorcycle helmet is disclosed which directs a safety light rearward from the lower back portion of the helmet. The light is removably mounted onto the helmet with a variety of mounting apparatus, each of which allows the light to be quickly and conveniently installed and removed from the helmet. The light, which is entirely self-contained, is mounted onto the helmet in a way allowing the light to detach itself during an accident to avoid inflicting serious head or neck injury on the rider due to the light becoming snagged during the accident.
