Abstract: A tapping function is imparted to a microjoint separation apparatus in order to obtain uniform cycle time and to improve productivity. The apparatus includes: grips (6) for moving a workpiece (2) in the X-axial direction of the main body (1) of the apparatus; a hammer (30) and a tapping unit (40) provided on the main body (1) and movable in a Y-axial direction perpendicular to the X-axial direction; an NC device (35) for positioning tapping point and hammering point of the workpiece (2) by moving the grips (6), the hammer (30) and the tapping unit (40) in X-Y axial directions; and cradles (31, 32) for selectively supporting a lower portion of the workpiece (2) during the hammering operation and the tapping operation.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for recording information on an opto-magnetic recording medium by applying an A.C. magnetic field of a constant frequency to the opto-magnetic recording medium as a recording bias magnetic field and scanning the medium by a light beam modulated with a recording signal in synchronism with the A.C. magnetic field to record the information.

Abstract: There is disclosed an image processing system capable of effectively utilizing a large-sized display unit by expanding the image signals to be displayed.

Abstract: An optomagnetic (magneto-optic) information reproducing or readout method including illuminating an optomagnetic (magneto-optic) recording medium with a linearly polarized light flux whose quantity is variable, detecting the value of the illumination flux from the recording medium through an analyzer, determining a threshold quantity of light at which the ratio between the detected value and the quantity of illumination light starts to deviate from a predetermined value, and scanning the recording medium with the linearly polarized light flux whose quantity is smaller than the threshold quantity of light, thereby reproducing or reading out the information stored on the recording medium. A device adapted to carry out the above-described method is also described.

Abstract: There is disclosed an image processing system composed of a network of plural stations, in which the transmitted image signals can be monitored on real time basis, always utilizing the full image display area and without lack in the displayed image, by suitably converting the image signals.

Abstract: An image information recording system reads image information out of a microfilm of which a plurality of image information items are recorded and records it onto a photodisk device. The microfilm has a Blip Mark indicative of the position of a frame. The mark is detected and index information for representing the address of image information recorded on the photodisk device is calculated. In another aspect, the recordable capacity of the photodisk device is sensed. As a result, when one unit of frames of image information is detected to be more than the photodisk device can hold, the one unit of image information is re-recorded on a second recording medium.

Abstract: An image processing system has an original reader or an image file for generating an image signal, a soft display, a high-speed printer, a small printer, a work station with a CPU, and a switching device. An image can always be displayed or printed at the center of a display surface or of a recording medium irrespective of a difference in the image and the display surface or recording medium.

Abstract: An image display apparatus includes a first image carrier along with an apparatus for inputting an image signal. An erasable image is formed on the first image carrier in accordance with the image signal input from the image signal input apparatus. A display area displays the image formed on the first image carrier. A second image carrier, which is associated with the first image carrier, contains a visible image which is photoelectrically read and converted to an image signal. The visible image carried on the second image carrier is automatically erased after the visible image is converted to an image signal.

Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus for reading a microfilmed image for image reproduction on a hard copy or the like. The operator can designate the area of image to be read, thus enabling exact image reproduction without loss of image or without unnecessary margins.

Abstract: An image processing system transmits image information in the form of electrical signals among plural stations for processing. A switching unit is provided to supply plural sets of signals to the plural stations in a parallel manner, thus achieving efficient signal transmission.
