Abstract: A clip attaching structure includes a clip supporting portion which protrudes on an outer circumferential surface of a main body, a clip, and a coil spring. The clip is configured to be rotatable with respect to a fulcrum at which the clip is engaged with the clip supporting portion. The convex portion is inserted into an inside of one end portion of the coil spring, and the other end portion of the coil spring abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the main body. A base portion of the convex portion has an outer diameter greater than an inner diameter of the coil spring, and a tip end portion of the convex portion has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the coil spring.

Abstract: A clip attaching structure includes a clip supporting portion which is protruded on an outer circumferential surface of a main body, a clip, and a coil spring. The clip is configured to be rotatable with respect to a fulcrum at which the clip is engaged with the clip supporting portion. The coil spring is provided being closer to one end portion of the clip than the fulcrum, and biases the other end portion of the clip to make the other end portion abut against the outer circumferential surface. The clip has a convex portion which is protruded towards the outer circumferential surface of the main body. The convex portion is inserted into an inside of one end portion of the coil spring. The other end portion of the coil spring abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the main body.

Abstract: A lead frame has a die pad portion supported internally of a framework portion by suspension leads and a plurality of leads each having one end connected to the framework portion and the other end opposed to the die pad portion. The die pad portion has a holding region formed from a part of an upper surface of the die pad portion which has been elevated above the remaining part of the upper surface. Openings are formed in the holding region to extend therethrough in a front-to-back direction of the die pad portion.

Abstract: A method of transfer printing for increasing the reproducibility in achieving high-precision, high-brilliance transfer prints by controlling the print density of yellow sublimate ink on the transfer material within a specified range of yellow density. The invention has application in transfer printing methods where a digitized image is produced on a transfer material by printing the image from a PC by a ink jet printer using sublimate ink. The printed image on the transfer material is transferred to a print medium by heat processing. The other colors of the image are adjusted based upon the print density of yellow sublimate ink falling within the specified range.

Abstract: An image processor for reproducing a continuous tone image such as a photograph in a black-and-white binary dot image (halftone image) has a linear correction section for converting a sampled digital image signal in a predetermined manner controlled by black and white densities of an original, thereby performing linear conversion between the continuous tone image and the halftone image. The image processor also has another correction section for performing profile emphasis to obtain a clear halftone image.

Abstract: A method for processing a video signal comprises defining a successively shifted scan window with respect to the signal level of each picture element from which said video signal has been derived, totalizing the quantum numbers of the picture elements in the scan window corresponding to the original screen dot, and reconstructing black picture elements corresponding to the total value of the quantum numbers faithfully to the area of the original dot, and an apparatus for carrying out the method.

Abstract: In a variable density scanner a light beam of a fixed spot size is scanned on an original along each of a plurality of parallel line paths at a constant speed to generate a video signal and successively shifted to the next line path. The video signal is sampled to generate a video sample. Each of the line paths is divided into a plurality of line segments so that each segment derives a plurality of video samples and the line paths are formed into a plurality of groups of adjacent line paths so that the video samples are derived from a plurality of patterns of rows and columns. The total value of the video samples of each pattern is arithmetically divided by their number in response to the control signal to derive an average value.
