Abstract: A method and apparatus to obtain a substantially accurate digital color
image of a subject at relatively low cost. A moveable enclosure
containing a controlled lighting source provides a controlled lighting
environment that costs considerably less than a traditional photo studio
and is more convenient to use for many applications. A digital color
image capture device captures an image of a subject in the enclosure. The
captured image is sent to a computer where a stored color profile
previously obtained from a calibration of the digital image capture device
is used by a software program to automatically correct the color of the
captured image. The color-corrected image can then be distributed to
other computers for display.

Abstract: A printing apparatus forms image information and
information associated therewith on a print medium. The
printing apparatus receives image information from an image
file stored in a recording medium, etc., and obtains
information associated with the image information. The
associated information includes attached information that is
read out from the image file based on a file format using
tags via an interface unit or added information that is
input or selected in accordance with the image information.
The image information is printed on the print medium, and
the associated information is formed on a film sheet
(laminate film), which is disposed over the image-printed
surface, as a watermark. The associated information is not
visible when the print medium is seen from the front, and
can be seen when it is seen at an angle due to the
difference in surface glossiness.

Abstract: The present invention solves the problem of self-adjustment of backrest in different sitting positions (from an upright to near reclined). This self-adjustment means positioning of the backrest in new sitting position without users intentional activity (additional adjusting, manual fixing) except for spontaneous and natural: moving forward on the seat with simultaneous leaning on the upper part of backrest in order to stretch out for a more reclined sitting position. On that occasion diminishes or completely disappears loads on the rear part of seat, so there is no force that deforms the elastic element by which the rear part of the seat hangs on the sides of the armchair (it returns to a starting position), elastic element in the backrest rotational axle unlocks the rotation of the rigid lever which release the backrest, that rotates in a new angle in relation to the seat plane, resulting in a new sitting position. When the backrest comes to the new position, the user sits again on the seat, force that appears in elastic element deforms it, by which its upper part is pressing the rigid lever blocking its rotation and blocks the rotation of the backrest that is attached to the other end of rigid lever. Elastic cantilever attached on both sides of the backrest returns it from any position to the upright position, when there is no loads on the seat to block the rotating of the backrest. This elastic cantilever also reduces the braking in the rotational axle.
