Patent number: 8073256Abstract: Replacement target image data and image data for replacement are stored, character images of the replacement target image data and character images of the image data for replacement are extracted, and character recognition is performed for each page on character strings contained in the extracted character images. Then, a comparison is performed for each page of the character strings of pages of the replacement target image data and the character strings of pages of the image data for replacement, which have undergone character recognition, and a degree of similarity therebetween is determined. Then, based on a determination result, at least a portion of pages of the replacement target image data is replaced with at least a portion of pages of the image data for replacement.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2008Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Akira Nozaki

Patent number: 7823619Abstract: An adhesive tape situated near an edge of a glass board with a protection film pasted on both surfaces thereof, and a stripping head that presses an adhesive surface of the adhesive tape toward the glass board, are provided. An actuator is provided that separates the adhesive tape adhering to the edge of protection film from the surface of the glass board and that strips a part of the protection film from the glass board. A film chuck device is provided that holds the stripped edge of the protection film, and the protection film held by the film chuck device is pulled off by driving the glass board by a roller conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2005Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignees: Sharp Kabushiki Kaisha, Tateyama Machine Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takenori Yoshizawa, Akira Nozaki, Hajime Ogoshi

Patent number: 7464336Abstract: This invention prevents ballooning of the amount of comment information while being applied to an operation environment of the user, and provides comment information associated with an intuitively plain operation in a way that is particularly easy for a user. To this end, upon launching of an application, a window including processing buttons and a message area is displayed. Immediately after display, bitmap data of that window is acquired (self-captured), and the acquired bitmap data is displayed in a reference image display area of the window after being scaled down. Arrow lines which specify correspondence between comments in a message area and the buttons in the reference image display area are displayed.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2005Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroshi Nakamoto, Noriaki Ito, Nobushige Aoki, Yurika Kadoi, Akira Nozaki

Patent number: 4946728Abstract: In an adhesive paper for copying prepared by laminating an overlying sheet with a release sheet so that an adhesive layer coated on the bottom surface of said overlying sheet is in contact with the releasing surface of said release sheet, the improvement comprising a radiation-induced polymer layer having a glass transition temperature ranging from 50.degree. to 200.degree. C., applied to at least one edge face of said adhesive paper for copying, said radiation-induced polymer layer being formed by applying a solvent free radiation polymerizable composition to said edge face followed by irradiation curing. The presence of the radiation-induced polymer layer prevents an adhesive from squeezing out. The polymer layer, because of its specific glass transition temperature, will not break and fall off. Thus a copying machine will not be contaminated with squeezed adhesive or broken and fallen polymer layer during copying.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 1988Date of Patent: August 7, 1990Assignee: FSK Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takeshi Ikeda, Akira Nozaki, Kazuyoshi Ebe
