  • Publication number: 20150070714
    Abstract: An image forming device includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires an image including a marker used for an augmented reality process; an information acquisition unit that acquires first information which is embedded in the marker from the marker and is related to a size of the marker in a real world before the image is printed; a calculation unit that calculates, on the basis of the first information and a printing magnification of the image, the size of the marker in the real world after the image is printed; a replacement unit that replaces the first information embedded in the marker with second information related to the calculated size; and a printing unit that prints, at the printing magnification, the image including the marker in which the second information is embedded.

  • Patent number: 7876342
    Abstract: In an image forming apparatus for forming a color image by superposing component color images, a control device obtains position data representing a forming position of each of plural registration mark images for the component color images with respect to a positional reference value arbitrarily determined, divides the position data into each of a unit reference range representing a range in which one mark image is formed, converts the position data divided for each unit reference range into those based on respective reference values representing the front edge of the unit reference ranges, extracts the position data representing ranges common to the mutually overlapping ranges each of which is represented by a couple of position data corresponding to the rising and falling edges of a passage timing pulse as read position data of the mark image of the component color, and calculates the amounts of positional deviations of the component color images from one another on the basis of the position data extracted.

  • Patent number: 6469430
    Abstract: A cathode ray tube including a color selecting, electrode having a plurality of metal tapes; a rectangular frame for holding the color selecting electrode under tension; a plate spring having one end fixed to the frame and the other end having an engaging hole; and a panel having a pin for engaging the engaging hole of the plate spring, the panel being held to the frame by the plate spring; wherein a resonance frequency of the plate spring is different from a resonance frequency of the metal tapes. Since the resonance frequency of the plate spring is different from the resonance frequency of the metal tapes, possible resonance of the metal tapes with a large amplitude by the vibrations of the plate spring due to external vibrations applied to the cathode ray tube can be prevented. Therefore, even though the color selecting electrode has a fine pitch with a large screen and a high definition, the cathode ray tube has vibration resistance to prevent color deviation or the like due to the vibrations.
