Abstract: A multi-color marker editing system for editing a color image by reading a designated marker. The multi-color marker editing system includes an image reading unit for reading color image data, a color-coordinate converting unit for converting the read image data into color data in a color coordinate system defined by optical density, hue and saturation, a color detecting unit for detecting a designated marker color from the read color image data, an image density converting unit for converting a density of the detected marker color image data, and a marker editing unit for making a marker color editing for each color to the density-converted marker color image data.

Abstract: A texture image processing system for image processing apparatus comprises, first calculator for calculating a maximum value and a minimum value of texture image data; second calculator for calculating an average value and a gain value with employment of said maximum value and minimum value; and synthesizing processor for synthesizing texture image data by image picture data, this synthesizing processor synthesizing the texture image data with the image picture data by multiplying a difference between the texture image data and the average value by the gain value. Also, synthesizing processor synthesizes the texture image data with chromaticity information of the image picture data, or chromaticity information of the image picture data with predetermined chromaticity information, chromaticity information of the texture image data.

Abstract: A color image editing apparatus capable of improving color detecting accuracy, color-converting a chromatic color into a neutral (achromatic) color and vice verse and performing a hue conversion, while maintaining gradation. The color image editing apparatus in which image signals read out by an image reading unit are converted to density, hue and chroma signals by color display coordinate system convertor to perform a color image editing operation inlcudes a detector for detecting whether or not density, hue and chroma of a detected color image is within predetermined density, hue and chroma ranges, respectively. It is judged by a judging unit whether or not a color of the detected color image is of a predetermined color in responses to an output of the detector, and a color changing unit means converts the density, hue and chroma independently in response to the judgement result of the judging unit.

Abstract: An image processing system assigns weight factors to two respective image signals of the equivalent color space so that the two image signals are combined according to the respective weight factors. For example, two weight factors having a sum of unity are assigned to the respective image signals. Alternatively, two weight factors are assigned independently.

Abstract: A mono color image outputting system for an image processing apparatus applies a color correction separated color signals in the input section converts them into recording signals of color material, before outputting a color image. In the mono color outputting system, a gradation property of value data in the input section is linearly compressed to correspond to a gradation property of value data in the output section.

Abstract: A magnetic disc apparatus has a head disc assembly of enclosed type. A humidity adjustor is operative when a humidity inside the head disc assembly rises above a predetermined humidity degree for absorbing moisture in the enclosed head disc assembly, and is operative when a humidity inside the head disc assembly falls below the predetermined humidity degree for releasing moisture into the enclosed head disc assembly.

Abstract: A color image recording device for use in a color copying machine, a color facsimile, a color printer and the like, which has a function to perform color edit processings including a color conversion processing, a coloring processing and the like.editing with ease and with high accuracy. Data B, G, and R output from an image read unit are converted to data L*, a*, and b* respectively by first color signal conversion unit and further the data a* and b* are then converted to data H and C by third color signal conversion unit. Image data V, H and C are color edited by image edit block and the output thereof H and C are converted to a* and b* respectively by fourth color signal conversion unit. The outputs of the first color signal conversion unit are also input to delay unit, are delayed by a time equal to a processing time in image edit unit by the delay unit, and are then input to selector unit. The selector unit, in accordance with a switching control signal S.sub.

In the mono color outputting system, a gradation property of value data in the input section is linearly compressed to correspond to a gradation property of value data in the output section.

Abstract: A color converter capable of conversions between various kinds of color signals appropriate for use over a network (i.e., RGB signals, various luminance/chromaticity separated signals that are expressed by linear transformations of said RGB signals, and CIE LAB signals, which signals may or may not be gamma-corrected) and the internal color signals of devices connected to the network can be realized by rewriting associated coefficients and constants using the same circuit. Accurate color conversions can always be accomplished with an inexpensive system layout.

Abstract: An air bearing head slider for a magnetic disk apparatus. The head slider includes outside rails, and each of the outside rails includes a flat portion forming an air bearing surface, a first leading edge tapered portion formed at an air inflow edge of the head slider, and a second leading edge tapered portion formed between the first leading edge tapered portion and the flat portion. The first tapered portion is inclined with respect to the flat portion by a first angle, and the second tapered portion is inclined with respect to the flat portion by a second angle.
