Abstract: Combining section 21 creates the composite image data by combining the image data of the original image and the additional image, and log management section 22 stores the condition of composite images at the time of image combining as log information 40. Printer section 18 prints the composite image based on the composite image data, and a scanner section 16 optically reads the printed composite image. Judgment section 23 judges the condition of adding the additional image in the composite image (presence or absence of overlapping, etc.,) based on stored log information 40 and on the image data obtained by reading out the composite image, and notification control section 24 notifies the user of the judgment result either by displaying or by printing out.

Abstract: Detection section 22 detects the blank space area in each page for all pages of the document, determining section 23 determines image size for combining a designated stamp image in uniform size in all the pages of that document based on a detection result by detection section 22. Combining section 24 combines the stamp image determined by determining section 23 in each page of the document. For example, size of the maximum blank space area which can fit within blank space areas of all pages of the document in uniform size, is sought, image combining is carried out with an original size if the original size of the stamp image is not larger than the maximum blank space area size, and the stamp image is combined to be in a reduced size so that it fits within the maximum blank space area size if the original size of the stamp image exceeds the maximum blank space area size.

Abstract: In an electrostatic capacitance type transducer which has a substrate, a movable electrode confrontingly placed to the substrate in a movable manner through a space, a fixed electrode arranged on a detecting face confronting the movable electrode of the substrate, and a signal receiving portion which is conductive with the fixed electrode and derived from the detecting face of the substrate, the fixed electrode and the signal receiving portion are made of metals which are different with each other in their compositions. That is, the fixed electrode is made of metal which has a high corrosion resistance and is not likely to outbreak a hillock, and the signal receiving portion is made of metal which is easy for bonding. Alternatively, both the fixed electrode and the signal receiving portion are made of titanium.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electrostatic capacitance type transducer and a method for producing the same, with the ensured sufficient connecting strength and insulation between a movable electrode and a fixed electrode and smooth production. In the electrostatic capacitance type transducer having: a substrate; a movable electrode placed on the opposite side of a space from the substrate and having displacement in relation to the substrate; and a fixed electrode formed on a detecting face of the substrate which is opposite to the movable electrode, an insulation film is formed on the approximately whole surface, including the fixed electrode, of the detecting face of the substrate, in which the substrate and the movable electrode are connected through the insulation film to each other by means of the anode-contact.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a shelf appartus for a refrigerator which raises and lowers a refrigerator's food storage shelves in an analog manner, making it possible to determine the positions of the shelves largely in accordance with the size of food items stored inside the refrigerator. More particularly, racks are provided on the left and right sides of the refrigerator's interior, gears which engage these racks are provided on the shelves of the refrigerator, and the food storage shelves are raised and lowered by rotating these gears.
