Abstract: An image beam recording apparatus including an image data input device, a comparator for forming a plurality of pulse width modulated signals on the basis of the image data input by the input device, and a laser for scanning a laser beam modulated in accordance with the pulse width modulated signals output by the comparator and for recording an image on a recording medium. The comparator is capable of forming a plurality of pulse width modulated signals so as to reproduce a variable density image. The plurality of pulse width modulated signals have the same number of pulses, but different pulse widths. The laser effects a scanning operation so that a plurality of beams modulated by the pulse width modulated signals form spots which overlap each other.

Abstract: A recorder has a beam generator for generating a beam to form a dot image on a record medium. The beam generator has first and second beam generation sources to generate first and second beams and forms each dot by using both of the first and second beams.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus has a memory for storing a plurality of image data, a read-out section for reading out a predetermined number of image data to be recorded from the memory in order to display them in substantially the same order as that for recording, a display section for displaying the read-out image data, and a recording section for reading out the image data to be recorded from the memory and for recording the read-out image data.

Abstract: A process for packaging semiconductors or integrated circuits including semiconductors involves positioning a lead frame on which semiconductors or an integrated circuit are mounted between two thermoplastic resin moldings, at least one of which moldings has a cavity for holding the semiconductors or the integrated circuit and thereafter integrally joining the thermoplastic resin moldings under heat and pressure to the lead frame. An uneven surface is provided on at least a part of the surfaces to be joined of either or both of the two thermoplastic resin moldings. This uneven surface is formed around the cavity in a thermoplastic resin molding having a cavity or on a surface of the thermoplastic resin molding having no cavity which corresponds to the surface to be joined to the other thermoplastic molding having a cavity.

Abstract: An eye examining instrument comprises an ultrasonic wave generating source, reflecting members and a receiver. A concave reflecting mirror is provided to direct the generated ultrasonic waves in the direction along the optical axis of the objective lens of the instrument while converging the waves. Also, a concave reflecting mirror is provided to converge the ultrasonic waves reflected upon the cornea of the eye under test and examination into the receiver. The ultrasonic waves received by the receiver are transformed into an electric signal. The electric signal thus produced includes a component informing of the time required to receive the ultrasonic waves after the generation thereof and a component informing of the intensity of the received ultrasonic waves.

Abstract: In an eye fundus camera an optical system illuminates the eye fundus and a sensor detects the intensity of reflection from the eye. When the intensity of reflection is sufficient to indicate that the person being examined has blinked his eye, the photographic system is disabled.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical instrument for examining the eye fundus which is so designed that in the optical system including an objective lens visible, targets are built for orientating the visual line of the eye to be inspected along the direction convenient for the inspection of the desired part of the eye fundus in order to be able to inspect the desired part. The visible targets are located at the position conjugate to the eye fundus with regard to the optical system including the objective lens in order that the light beam coming from the targets through the objective lens reaches the eye to be inspected. The image of the visible targets is formed on the eye fundus of the eye to be inspected while the eye to be inspected observes the visible targets through the objective lens in such a manner that the visual line is oriented in the direction along which the targets are seen.
