  • Publication number: 20240212391
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of switching an imaging unit according to the intention of a subject or the like comprises a determination unit configured to determine whether a subject has made a predetermined movement based on images from at least one of a plurality of image capturing units, and a selection unit configured to select an image from a predetermined image capturing unit that has been associated with the predetermined movement from among images from the plurality of the image capturing units and output to a display unit or a recording unit, in a case in which it has been determined by the determination unit that the predetermined movement has been performed.

  • Patent number: 11973907
    Abstract: A reading apparatus includes: a document platen on which a document is placed; a reading portion configured to read a document placed on the document platen; a cover that is openable and closable between a first position at which the document platen is covered and a second position at which the document is uncovered; and a frame member including a first inclination portion and a second inclination portion, configured to constitute at least a part of an outer frame of the document platen, the first inclination portion being adjacent to the document platen and higher with an increasing distance from the document platen, and the second inclination portion being arranged farther away from the document platen than the first inclination portion and higher with an increasing distance from the document platen.

  • Patent number: 5831908
    Abstract: A data output circuit includes a ground terminal, a power supply terminal, an output terminal having parasitic capacitor, a PMOS transistor having a current path connected between the power supply terminal and the output terminal and a gate to which one of first and second complementary data signals is supplied, an NMOS transistor having a current path connected between the ground terminal and the output terminal and a gate to which the other of the first and second complementary data signals is supplied, and a gate control section for feeding back the potential of the output terminal to the gates of the transistors and to change the potential of the output terminal toward a predetermined intermediate level within the voltage ranged between the ground terminal and the power supply terminal before the first and second complementary data signals are supplied.
