Abstract: An optical scanning apparatus includes a light source, a light source driving unit that turns on the light source according to image information, a deflector that deflects and scans a light beam emitted from the light source according to sinusoidal vibration, and a scanning/imaging optical system that guides the light beam from the deflector to a scanned surface. The scanning/imaging optical system satisfies two conditions, i.e., (1) provided that the deflector moves in such a manner that an angular velocity is constant, linearity is made larger at a most peripheral image height than at a central image height within a range of an effective writing width, and (2) when a deflection angle of the deflector has a sinusoidal characteristic, the linearity is made smaller at the most peripheral image height than at the central image height within the range of the effective writing width.

Abstract: To provide a display device for enabling preferable Japanese hyphenation while suppressing restriction due to a character code system. A font data memory unit (50) stores font data which contains a plurality of font records each containing font information for displaying a character and line feed control information for controlling line feed conducted before and/or after the character. A character string display unit (54) displays a character string based on the font information relevant to all or some of the plurality of font records. A line feed control unit (52) determines a line feed position in the character string being displayed by the character string display unit (54) based on line feed control information relevant to characters included in the character string.

Abstract: An edge preservation type of recursive filter 12 outputs an unsharpened image (i.e., low-frequency components) which is smoothed while preserving an edge of an input image in at least one direction (e.g., a vertical direction of the image). The low-frequency components are compressed into a suitable amount by a LUT 14 provided as low-frequency component compression amount setting means and then output. An arithmetic unit 18 provided as low-frequency component compression means compresses the low-frequency components of the input image by subtracting from the input image the output value from the LUT 14. The edge-preservation-type recursive filter 12 can extract the low-frequency components of the input image with an input time delay corresponding to one line of the input image. Therefore, DRC processing has only a short delay due to image processing and is capable of real-time processing by a small amount of computation.

Abstract: A plurality of double-sided boards using a film are attached to each other with a paste coupling layer sandwiched therebetween. In the paste coupling layer, a conductive paste is filled into a through hole formed in provisionally hardened resin, which is hardened. At the same time, second wirings are electrically coupled to each other by using the hardened conductive paste filled in the through holes that have been previously formed in the paste coupling layer. Thus, it is possible to provide a thinned multilayer printed wiring board without using an adhesive.

Abstract: A vibration-isolating device for a steering wheel of a travelling working vehicle equipped with a wheel steering mechanism includes a first steering shaft (32) that transmits rotational displacement, the first steering shaft being operatively connected to the steering wheel (7); a second steering shaft (33) that transmits rotational displacement, the second steering shaft being operatively connected to the wheel steering mechanism (P, 23); and a vibration-isolating connecting mechanism (31) that operatively connects the first steering shaft (32) and the second steering shaft (33) to each other so that rotational displacement can be transmitted.

Abstract: A multilayer printed wiring board is characterized in that the interlayer connection material in the via holes has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion in the thickness direction than the electrically insulating substrate made of insulating material; the interlayer connection is formed at a temperature higher than the operating temperature; and the interlayer connection material is larger in thickness than the interlayer connection material of the same wiring layer at normal temperature. This causes a difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the different materials in the thickness direction of the printed wiring board in the environment in which it is used resulting in high connection reliability.
