  • Patent number: 7221393
    Abstract: A color imaging method for adjusting color balance of an imaged picture of an object, which object is imaged by a camera head 3 for generating color imaging signals composed of plural color signals. Based on the relative relation between signal levels of the color signals, level balance control data are generated by an information processing device 5. The level balance control data, generated by the information processing device 5, is stored in LUTs 45R, 45G and 45B, in association with the signal level of plural color signals in each of plural light exposure volumes adjusted by the light stop of an imaging lens 2 adapted for adjusting the light exposure volume of the camera head 3 or the signal charge accumulating time of a CCD image sensor 21. Based on the signal levels of the color signals, the level balance control data associated with the color signals are read out from the LUTs 45R, 45G and 45B for controlling the signal levels of the color signals.

  • Patent number: 7137685
    Abstract: A print head for a line printer in which errors between print head chips and another component are reduced and ink leakage is prevented, and in which heat generated in print head chips is efficiently dissipated without making the structure of the print head complex or increasing the size of the print head. A plurality of print head chips (11) are arranged along an ink path (20) and are disposed on both sides of the ink path in a zigzag pattern. Dummy chips (21) which do not eject ink are disposed at regions between the print head chips (11) arranged along the ink path (20). In addition, an ink-path member (23) is provided, at least a part of the ink-path member (23) which includes portions adhered to the print head chips (11) being composed of a material having a high thermal conductivity, so that the ink-path member (23) also serves as heat-dissipating means which dissipates heat generated in the print head chips (11).

  • Patent number: 7040702
    Abstract: A tip-up vehicle seat comprises a seat back (11) attached to a vehicle body, a seat bottom (14) displaceable between a retracted position and a available position, a leg member (17) displaceable between a retracted position and a support position, a lock mechanism (18) arranged to hold the seat bottom at the retracted position. The lock mechanism (18) is connected to the leg member (17) through a wire cable (43) so that the lock mechanism (18) is unlocked by rotational movement of the leg member (17) from the retracted position toward the support position to release the restriction to the seat bottom (14).

  • Publication number: 20060082848
    Abstract: A halftone processing apparatus that is incorporated in a printing apparatus capable of representing the gradation of one pixel by using a plurality of dots or that is incorporated in an information processing apparatus for generating print data to be supplied to the printing apparatus is provided. The halftoning processing apparatus includes a defect position storage section storing position information for specifying an area in which a print defect is confirmed; an error diffusion processing section quantizing an input density signal of multi-valued gradation corresponding to each pixel by using a threshold value and adding the resultant quantization error to front pixels in a diffused manner; and a quantization input switching section controlling a quantization input of an input density signal of a pixel corresponding to position information to zero when the input density signal is quantized by the error diffusion processing section.
