  • Patent number: 6438325
    Abstract: A photographic camera system includes a photographic camera that can successively expose a photographic film in different frame sizes and an automatic printer for automatically printing the processed photographic film exposed with those different frame sizes. The camera varies the aspect of an exposure opening in the camera body and the film is fed for a length corresponding to the selected aspect by detecting a hole located in a marginal area of the film. The photographic camera magnetically or optically records at a location away from the hole an aspect information signal indicative of the selected aspect of the exposed frame on the photographic film, and the automatic printer automatically prints the photographic film using the magnetically or optically recorded aspect information signal detected from the photographic film.

  • Patent number: 6434339
    Abstract: A photographic and video image system for transforming an image on a frame of a photographic film includes a structure in the overall form of a photographic printer having an image transformation element that transforms an optical image from the film into a video signal, a frame position indicator, which can be a hole or an optical or magnetic signal, is recorded on the film along with aspect information relating to the size of the frame exposed on the film. The frame position indicator and aspect information are detected and used to control a film feeding operation and the optical image to video signal transformation operation. The user of the system can record order information on the film that is used to specify the aspect of the resultant photographic print, as well as the quantity of prints to be made. Such order information can be superimposed as a menu on a displayed video signal at the time the video signal is reviewer prior to producing a photographic print.

  • Publication number: 20020074925
    Abstract: A color picture tube has an electron gun assembly directed to a shadow mask spaced from a fluorescent screen by a predetermined distance in the bulb thereof, and a high voltage is supplied through a conductive layer formed on the inner surface of the bulb and a bulb spacer to an accelerating electrode of the electron gun assembly, wherein the contact resistance between the conductive layer and the bulb spacer is reduced to be equal to or less than 1 kilo-ohms so that the accelerating electrode is free from electrical influence of parabola voltage applied to a focusing electrode, whereby an undesirable lens is prevented and, accordingly, the electron beams are not deviated from the target trajectories.

  • Patent number: 6366337
    Abstract: A photographic and video image system for transforming an image on a frame of a photographic film includes a structure in the overall form of a photographic printer having an image transformation element that transforms an optical image from the film into a video signal. A frame position indicator, which can be a hole or an optical or magnetic signal, is recorded on the film along with aspect information relating so the size of the frame exposed on the film. The frame position indicator and aspect information are detected and used to control a film feeding operation in the optical image to video signal transformation operation. The user of the system can record order information on the film that is used to specify the aspect of the resultant photographic print, as well as the quantity of prints to be made. Such order information can be superimposed as a menu on a displayed video signal at the time the video signal is reviewed prior to producing a photographic print.

  • Patent number: 6349176
    Abstract: A photographic camera system includes a photographic camera that can successively expose a photographic film in different frame sizes and an automatic printer for automatically printing the processed photographic film exposed with those different frame sizes. The camera varies the width of an exposure opening in the camera body in the film-feed direction and the film is fed a length corresponding to the width of the exposure opening. The photographic camera records an exposure opening position signal indicative of the size of the exposure opening on the photographic film, and the automatic printer automatically prints the photographic film using the exposure opening position signal detected from the photographic film.

  • Publication number: 20010030501
    Abstract: An in-line electron gun and a color cathode-ray tube using the same. The electron gun comprises cathodes which are disposed in line for emitting electron beams corresponding to different colors, and a focusing electrode for focusing the electron beams; a final acceleration electrode for accelerating the electron beams passed through the focusing electrode. The electron gun comprises astigmatism compensation electrodes which have eaves shape and extend toward main axes of the electron gun and which are disposed at upper and lower portions of apertures of the final acceleration electrode for passing therethrough electron beams emitted from the cathodes on both outsides of the electron gun. The astigmatism compensation electrodes may be pairs of parallel plate electrodes which are disposed in a horizontal direction and at a predetermined distance from each other.

  • Patent number: 6180400
    Abstract: A method of culturing avian cells in a medium with a pH value of 7.8 or above, whereby avian cells can be subcultured stably for long. Since avian cells have been incapable of subculture heretofore, it has been impossible to effect in vitro cell or gene manipulation therewith. Now that such a manipulation becomes possible by the invention method, the way is opened for the industrial utilization of avian cells in the creation of transgenic birds and the production of vaccines.
