Abstract: If the processing result of the job which has not been notified is stored in the memory when a state of the apparatus has transited from a state incapable of communication with the job management apparatus to a state capable of communication in accordance with a user instruction, the processing result is read out from the memory and is notified to the job management apparatus.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes of a lens holder arranged concentrically with an imaging element; a lens barrel having an imaging lens removably inserted from the leading end section side of the lens holder; a cover removably fitted at the leading end section of the lens holder; and a cam mechanism section arranged on the barrel, the lens holder and the cover so that the barrel turns around the optical axis to the imaging element and that the barrel moves in the optical axis direction. The cam mechanism section includes a first cam surface formed on the inner circumference surface of the lens holder; a cam protruding section formed on the outer circumference surface of the lens barrel; and a second cam surface formed on the inner surface of the cover. The cam mechanism section smoothly turns the barrel around the optical axis and moves the barrel in the optical axis direction.

Abstract: A document presentation device 10 includes a video signal controller 50 adapted to output a video signal of a video image for display on a display unit 40; and a remote controller RC. The video signal controller 50 includes a video signal processing unit 60 for creating a live video image within the field captured by an image sensor 31a; a masking setting unit for setting the brightness differential of the masking region; and a masking image display control unit that upon receiving an instruction from a masking instruction unit of the remote controller RC, sets a portion of the live video image to a masking region based on settings that are set in advance through the masking settings portion, and displays the live video image on the display unit 40; and that upon receiving an instruction from a position instruction unit of the remote controller RC changes the position of the masking region.

The video signal controller 50 includes a video signal processing unit 60 for creating a live video image within the field captured by an image sensor 31a; a zoom setting unit for setting in advance an enlargement ratio for the zoom image; and a zoom image control unit that upon receiving an instruction from a zoom instruction unit of the remote controller RC displays on the display unit 40 an enlarged live image of a portion of the live video image at the enlargement ratio that is set in advance by the zoom setting unit; and that upon receiving an instruction from a position instruction unit of the remote controller RC, changes the zoom field.

Abstract: A document presentation device 10 includes a video signal controller 50 adapted to output a video signal of a video image for display on a display unit 40; and a remote controller RC. The video signal controller 50 includes a video signal processing unit 60 for creating a live video image within the field captured by an image sensor 31a; and a capture control unit that upon receiving an instruction from a capture instruction portion of the remote controller RC, on the basis of the picture signal of the image sensor 31a, creates a still image reduced in size relative to the field of capture and displays the still image in a capture window PiW superimposed on the live video image; and that upon receiving an instruction from a position instruction unit changes the display position of the capture window.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus is composed of a lens holder (3) arranged concentrically with an imaging element (2); a lens barrel (4) which has an imaging lens removably inserted from the leading end section side of the lens holder (3); a cover (6) removably fitted at the leading end section of the lens holder (3); and a cam mechanism section arranged on the lens barrel (4), the lens holder (3) and the cover (6) so that the lens barrel (4) turns around the optical axis to the imaging element (2) and that the lens barrel moves in the optical axis direction by such turning. The cam mechanism section is composed of a first cam surface (10a) formed on the inner circumference surface of the lens holder (3); a cam protruding section (10b) formed on the outer circumference surface of the lens barrel (4); and a second cam surface (10c) formed on the inner surface of the cover (6). The cam mechanism section smoothly turns the lens barrel (4) around the optical axis and moves the lens barrel in the optical axis direction.

Abstract: A discharge light having a light emitting tube (1) encapsulates a discharging medium, an inner electrode (2) disposed in the light emitting tube, and an outer electrode unit (4) fixed to the outside of the light emitting tube. The outer electrode unit has at least a plurality of outer electrodes (4b) arranged intermittently in the axial direction of the tube and having a part abutting on the outer wall face of the light emitting tube, and a part (4c) engaging with the light emitting tube while coupling the outer electrodes thereof integrally, wherein the engaging part clamps the light emitting tube at a part thereof thus holding the outer electrode unit around the light emitting tube. The light emitting tube is lighted by applying a voltage between the inner electrode and the outer electrode. The outer electrode can be fixed readily to the light emitting tube and the plurality of outer electrodes can be held against the light emitting tube with high accuracy.

Abstract: In a camera-assisted presentation system, a microcomputer activates a motion detecting module to detect a motion of an object, based on a variation in luminance of image data representing a material photographed by a photographing module. In the case of detection of a motion of the object, the microcomputer controls an output control module to prohibit transfer of the image data to an image output module. Image data photographed immediately before detection of the motion is kept in an output image storage sub-module of the image output module. This arrangement effectively prevents any action of setting the material from being undesirably displayed on an external display unit, thus ensuring smooth presentation with improved display of images during the actions of setting the material in the camera-assisted presentation system.
