Abstract: An automatic exposure control apparatus comprises a skin color extracting circuit for extracting a skin-colored portion from an input video signal and a focus condition detecting circuit for detecting a focus condition of the skin-colored portion. Exposure is controlled based on outputs of the two circuits. That is, when a skin-colored portion is extracted and it is detected that the skin-colored portion is in an in-focus condition, exposure is controlled so as to be appropriate with respect to the skin-colored portion. A skin color correction unit can correct colors corresponding to the skin color from the video signal.

Abstract: A copper alloy having an improved corrosion resistance in an alcohol-containing medium, which consists essentially of 0.5 to 8 weight percent tin and/or nickel alone or in combination, 0.02 to 0.15 weight percent zirconium, and remainder weight percent copper. The zirconium is dispersed in the copper alloy as precipitates. The copper alloy is suitable for a commutator material used in a DC motor having an improved abrasive resistance.

Abstract: An apparatus for reproducing images recorded on successive frames of a film recorded with information, the apparatus includes a film feeder which feeds the film in a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction; an information reader which reads the recorded information; a density detector which detects a density of each image; and a controller which controls the film feeder, information reader, and density detector. The information reader is worked when the film is fed in the first direction, the density detector is worked when the film is fed in the second direction. A detected image density is adapted for determining an exposure value at which each image is picked up to reproduce the image.

Abstract: A subject is photographed by a camera provided with a multi-micro lens including a plurality of lenses to form a plurality of images on the film, so that the optical length is greatly reduced. The developed multi-image on the film is electrically read out by a reading unit of the image reproducing apparatus to reproduce a single image by averaging corresponding pixels of all the images and the reproduced image is outputted through a monitor and a display, so that a clear image is reproduced irrespective of the graininess of the film.

The camera portion has an image pick-up device for picking up an object image and producing an electrical image signal corresponding to the object image, a signal processing device for processing the electrical image signal into an analog image data signal, and an output device for outputting the analog image data signal. The recording and reproducing portion has a receiver device for receiving the analog image data signal, a conversion device for converting the analog image data signal to a digital image data signal, a memory device for storing the digital image data signal, a recording device for recording the stored digital image data signal on a record medium, and a reproducing device for reproducing the object image based on the recorded digital image data signal.

Abstract: A magnetostriction type torque sensor has a magnetostrictive film formed on an outer peripheral surface of a rotary shaft, a coil having a coil centerline extending in a radial direction of the rotary shaft, and a signal processor responsive to coil impedance. Since the coil includes a coil centerline extending in a radial direction of the rotary shaft, magnetic fluxes are formed mainly in a radial direction of the rotary shaft. Accordingly, the magnetic fluxes intruding deep into the rotary shaft are decreased, and the rate of the magnetic fluxes passing through the magnetostrictive film is increased. As a result, the magnetostriction type torque sensor comes to have high sensitivity even when the rotary shaft has high magnetic permeability or high electric conductivity.

Abstract: An image is recorded on an elongate image recording medium by feeding the image recording medium in an auxiliary scanning direction from a loading unit and applying a light beam to the image recording medium in a main scanning direction transverse to the auxiliary scanning direction. A loose loop is formed out of the image recording medium between the loading unit and an image scanning recording unit. Guide plates are angularly displaced to allow the image recording medium to hang by gravity with the image recording medium with the image recorded thereon having a free distal end. The hanging image recording medium is moved back toward the image scanning recording unit after the image has been recorded. The guide plates are displaced back to deliver the image recording medium to a next process.
