  • Publication number: 20200374422
    Abstract: A system is provided for synchronizing video clips with audio data. The system includes one or more video capture devices that captures audio and video data of a scene, and a data store for the audio data, the metadata, and the video data generated by each respective capture device. Moreover, the system includes an audio analyzer that analyzes the audio data to determine one or more groups of overlapping video clips in the video data and to generate offset information for each video clip in the one or more groups. A metadata analyzer then corrects the one or more groups of the overlapping video clips based on camera identification data, and a sequence generator generates a plurality of video sequences with synchronized audio, based on the corrected one or more groups.

  • Patent number: 7296874
    Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes an absorber configured to abut a nozzle surface of a line head to absorb ink adhered on the nozzle surface. A portion of the absorber which corresponds to an opening of a nozzle is removed. The absorber is configured to abut the nozzle surface except for a portion near the nozzle. Ink remaining on the nozzle surface is absorbed by the absorber. Thus, when the nozzle surface is wiped with a blade, accumulation of a large amount of remaining ink is prevented.

  • Patent number: 7244011
    Abstract: Line heads are arranged along the transfer direction of a recording medium. Each line head has a nozzle surface in which nozzles are provided over a width direction of the recording medium. Purge units each corresponding to one of the line heads are arranged along the transfer direction of the recording medium at positions which deviate from the recording medium in the width direction. Each purge unit cleans the nozzle surface of a corresponding one of the line heads.

  • Patent number: 7029105
    Abstract: An ink-jet recording device according to the present invention includes: a paper supply tray arranged inward of a predetermined face of a main body to supply recording sheets; a paper display tray arranged inward of the same face as the paper supply tray to receive recording sheets discharged after recording; an ink cartridge loading unit, which is arranged inward of the same face as the paper supply tray, and into which an ink cartridge containing ink used for recording is loaded detachably; and a controller which disables removal of the ink cartridge during a removal inhibited period.

  • Publication number: 20050248612
    Abstract: For a line head in an ink jet recorder wherein the line head comprises a plurality of long narrow rectangular plate like nozzle heads which are inclined together in a direction relative to that in which they are disposed side by side in a line in the line head, the invention is designed to be capable of wiping ink as well that gets into gaps between adjacent nozzle heads. To this end, an elastically deformable blade 13 is used that is brought into pressure contact with nozzle faces of a line head 23 and moved in a direction in which nozzle heads 24 are inclined while maintaining the blade 13 under pressure to cause it to be deformed against the nozzle faces as it is moved. Also, contaminants adhered on the blade by the wiping action is flushed with cleaning liquid rather than by a contaminant removal member.
