  • Patent number: 5926291
    Abstract: In a method of calculating a color correcting condition for a color image composed of plural pixels each separated into plural primary color density values, a statistic indicating a relationship between a primary color density value and a number of pixels showing the primary color density value is made for each primary color; a specific density value corresponding to a predetermined statistic value for each primary color from the statistic is calculated; an extracting condition for each primary color is determined based on the obtained specific density value; specific pixels are extracted from the plural pixels of the color image so as to satisfy the extracting condition; and the color correcting condition is determined based on the plural primary color density values of the extracted specific pixels.

  • Patent number: 5833606
    Abstract: A noncontact tonometer for measuring intraocular pressure is provided. When a rotary solenoid (7) is supplied with electric power, a piston (4) within a cylinder (2) is moved up, and thereby air is jetted through a nozzle (9) of a head (3) toward an eye (H) of a subject. At the same time, infrared rays are projected onto the eye (H) from a light source (11). Reflected light from a cornea of the eye (H) is received by a light receiving sensor (12). A signal generated by the light receiving sensor (12) is transmitted to a control circuit (16) via a flat-state detecting circuit (13). As a result, the intraocular pressure of the eye (H) is measured. The noncontact tonometer further includes two condensers (17, 18). A command from the control circuit (16) is input to a condenser switching portion (20) by operating a driving switch (21). Thereby, one of the condensers (17, 18) is selected to supply the rotary solenoid (7) with the electric power.

  • Patent number: 5552852
    Abstract: A device to dissolve solid processing agents and to replenish the dissolved processing agents to an automatic processing apparatus for a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material which has a processing tank and a circulating path for a processing solution provided in the processing tank. The device includes a dissolving tank for storing a dissolved solution therein, and a processing solution supplier provided between the processing tank and the dissolving tank independent of the circulating path, which supplies the processing solution from the processing tank to the dissolving tank. The device further includes a replenisher to replenish the dissolved solution from the dissolving tank to the processing tank. The dissolving tank and the processing tank are communicated through another circulating path.
