  • Patent number: 8237937
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a generator, a storage, an image data format converter, and a sender. The generator generates print image data for printing an image, based on image data sent from an external device. The storage stores the print image data. The image data format converter converts the print image data into image data in a format handled by an external device. The sender sends the converted image data via an IP (internet protocol) network to the external device. The image data format converter performs one of color space conversion, expansion, compression, resolution conversion, filtering, halftone processing, density gamma conversion, and noise removal in accordance with parameters determined based on at least one of property information of the print image data and property information requested by the external device.

  • Patent number: 7675587
    Abstract: The polarizing plate of the invention comprises a norbornene resin film, a polyurethane layer, an adhesive layer and a polarizing film which are laminated in this order. The polarizing plate exhibits excellent adhesion between the optical film and the polarizing film, is excellent also in properties such as heat resistance and chemical resistance, rarely suffers delamination and distortion even if it is used for a long period of time, and has high reliability. The polarizing plate can be obtained by, for example, a process comprising steps of forming a polyurethane layer on a surface of a norbornene resin film and bonding a polarizing film to the polyurethane layer through an adhesive.

  • Patent number: 7491285
    Abstract: The method for molding a bead portion for a green tire includes a bead core supporting step for supporting the bead core through a carcass ply upon expanding a diameter of a bead core supporter including a seating surface for supporting a radially inner surface of the bead core. Since the bead core supporter comprises an outer piece outside of the seating surface in a tire axial direction that rises up towards outside in the radial direction with a clearance between the same and the bead core, that is larger than the thickness of the carcass ply, it is possible to flip a carcass outer region up, that is outside in the tire axial direction than a sandwiched region of the carcass ply, sandwiched and held between the seating surface and the bead core, and to deform the carcass outer region into an outer inclined piece that is inclined and extended towards radially outside without including any partially bent portions.
