Abstract: An abnormality in an imaging apparatus configured to generate an image or in an optical member located on an optical path for capturing the image can be accurately determined, irrespective of the environment. An image processing apparatus includes a first receiver configured to receive a first image, a second receiver configured to receive a second image having an imaging range that includes at least a portion of an imaging range of the first image, and a controller configured to determine an abnormality in the first image or the second image based on a common portion in the imaging ranges of the first image and the second image.

Abstract: The image monitoring apparatus (10) has an image acquiring unit (15), an image processing unit (16) and a determining unit (17). The image acquiring unit (15) continuously acquires a peripheral image. The image acquiring unit (15) superimposes a periodically changing signal on a predetermined position of the peripheral image. The image processing unit (16) treats the peripheral image superimposed with the signal with a predetermined image processing. The determining unit (17) determines a failure of the image processing unit based on a presence or absence of a periodic change in the superimposed signal on the peripheral image treated with the predetermined image processing.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus capable of outputting pixel signals to one or more output destinations includes an imager having a plurality of pixels that are arrayed two-dimensionally and respectively can generate pixel signals; an identifier adding unit configured to add an identifier associated with at least one output destination to each of pixel signals of at least a part of pixels among the plurality of pixels and an image processing unit configured to output each of the pixel signals to an output destination that corresponds to an identifier included in each of the pixel signals.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus which is thin in thickness and has enough strength to be able to be accommodated in the breast pocket of one's shirt or back pocket of one's pants or in a handbag without bothered by a feeling of strangeness is provided. The imaging apparatus is composed of an imaging unit and an operation unit, both units being connected rotatably relative to each other by a hinge mechanism and formed into a low-profile, rectangular shape in the normal state in which the units are positioned parallel to each other.

Abstract: A lock-releasing mechanism for a magnetic record/playback apparatus wherein one plunger is used for changeover of an auto-reverse mechanism and lock-release of FF- and/or REW-operating rod for an automatic music sensor. The lock-releasing mechanism includes a stopper interlocked with the FF- and/or REW-operating rod so as to restrict the pulling stroke of the plunger when the FF- and/or REW-operating rod is locked.

Abstract: A magnetic record/playback apparatus has a head plate and a control plate which are disposed on a tape deck slidably movable in forward and rearward directions. A head is fixed on the head plate and a changeover mechanism for putting a tape driving system selectively into a cue scanning mode is engaged by motion of the control plate. The head plate is formed with an elongated slot extending in the displacement direction of the plates and the control plate is provided with a pin slidable within the elongated slot. The control plate is engaged by a scanning mode operating rod for displacing the control plate forwardly to put the system into normal play or scanning mode and rearwardly.

Abstract: A tape pack ejecting mechanism wherein a tape pack is loaded and unloaded into and from a pack receiving structure pivotally connected at one end portion thereof to a chassis so as to allow pivotal movement thereof, locking of the pack receiving structure in a tilted position is released by loading of the tape pack, bringing the tape pack into a horizontal playback position, and the pack receiving structure is again tilted through rotation of an engaging member upon depressing of an eject lever to eject the tape pack, which mechanism is characterized by a guide provided at one side portion of the pack receiving structure for guiding the loading and unloading of the tape pack; and eject operating member with a tension spring attached thereto which is slidably provided on the guide; said eject operating member having a hanging portion engageable with a rear end of the tape pack and a projection engageable with a lock portion formed on the engaging member; said tension spring being biased to urge when the tape p

Abstract: In a cartridge type magnetic type recorder of the type wherein an operating frame and a cartridge receiving frame are pivotally interconnected, the receiving frame is moved to the reproducing position in a direction perpendicular to the direction of loading of the cartridge so as to couple the cartridge with a driving motor and reproducing or recording head, there are provided a pin for one side of the operating frame, a cartridge ejecting lever having a cam, and a sliding frame having a cam slot. The pin cooperates with the cam and cam slot for ejecting the cartridge.

Abstract: A tape recorder in which the middle part of a locking lever which engages and disengages with the engaging part of a slide piece provided on the recorder frame and the end of a suspending piece are loosely pivoted to the moving frame of which one end is pivotally attached to the deck of the recorder frame, a projection which engages with one end of said suspending piece as well as with the engaging portion formed on the moving frame is provided at the end of said locking lever, a toggle spring is hooked between said suspending piece and moving frame thereby forming a guide portion, and wherein a cassette is inserted with its reproduce side or longer side inward requiring only a short stroke to automatically assume a reproducing or recording condition, and allowing easy removal of the cassette.
