Abstract: A synthetic resin molding mold assembly, is provided for rapidly heating a cavity surface without suffering from any temperature variation in the cavity surface when a temperature of the cavity surface increases; this condition is not affected by a contour of the cavity surface; and, may prevent any weld line from occurring without prolonging a molding cycle time. A mold insert is employed that is divided into an insert front piece with the cavity surface and an insert rear piece without the cavity surface. A fluid passage is formed to pass through the front piece in the vicinity of the cavity surface and extends from a rear surface of the rear piece to pass there-through toward the cavity surface, receives an electric heater therein, and is then closed with the rear piece to dispose the heater in a deepest portion of the fluid passage.

Abstract: The image processing device of this invention processes an input document and performs a separation function which separates the text area and the image area from the input document. The image processing device first determines and coarsely separates the text area and the image area, then corrects the image quality. Then, the corrected image is finely separated into text area and image area, and corrected again. Logic calculation may be performed on the corrected images to further correct the image quality.
