  • Patent number: 8820734
    Abstract: A loading device includes a disposing unit to dispose the recording media, and a detector to detect the disposed recording media. The disposing unit includes a loading member on which the recording media are loaded, a pair of guide members movable in width directions of the recording media that are mounted on the loading member, and a guide driver to move the guide members. The end detector detects positions at which the guide members are in contact with the recording media as the ends of the recording media. The guide driver further moves the guide members in the width direction to cause the recording media to form flexures, subsequently moves the guide members to separate from the recording media, and then moves the guide members to be in contact with the recording media again.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8416438
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an input control unit, a processing unit, an output control unit, a first sending unit, and a second sending unit. When an output request including a unique identifier and a data generation condition of image data is received, the first sending unit writes the image data corresponding to the unique identifier in the processing unit. The processing unit compares the image data written by the first sending unit with the data generation condition thereby determining a processing condition, processes the image data based on the processing condition, and outputs the processed image data to the output control unit via the second sending unit.

  • Patent number: 8228536
    Abstract: An image processing device includes an input filter configured to control an input process of data to be input as a subject of an image process, an output filter configured to control an output process of data to be output to an outside of the image processing device, a processing filter configured to process the data between the input filter and the output filter, and a pipe configured to transmit the data among the input filter, the processing filter, and the output filter.

  • Patent number: 8208766
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a storage unit, an input unit, a reading unit, a controller, and an output unit. The storage unit stores article images embedded with mark data. The input unit is used to input a search information element for searching an article image. The reading unit reads mark data of each article image stored in the storage unit. The controller controls an analysis function, a determination function, and a selection function. In the analysis function, the mark data read by the reading unit is analyzed. In the judgment function, the read mark data is compared with the search information element and checked whether the read mark data includes an information element matching the search information element. In the selection function, an article image having the read mark data matched to the search information element is selected. The output unit outputs the selected article image.
