Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an erroneous determination of an end position or the width of a target even when foreign matter exists on a loading surface for dot formation.  <P>SOLUTION: A platen 39 is scanned by an optical sensor 38 before conveying a paper sheet P on the platen 39, and the detected sensor position is registered in a RAM 53 as the end position of foreign matter in advance. Then the platen 39 is scanned by the optical sensor 38 again in a state of the paper sheet P conveyed on the platen 39, a sensor position not matching the end position of the foreign matter registered in the RAM 53 out of the detected sensor positions is extracted, and the width of the paper sheet P is determined using the extracted sensor position. As such, because the sensor position matching the end position of the foreign matter is not used, even when foreign matter exists on the platen 39, erroneous determination of the end position and the width of the paper sheet P can be prevented.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress power consumption of a battery, and reliably drive a cooling means using the electro motive force of a thermoelectric element, when temperature rises in an image sensor, thereby obtaining a sufficient cooling effect.  <P>SOLUTION: When the temperature near the image sensor rises to T3-T4 of a predetermined temperature, a live view operation is stopped (Step S138). While suppressing the power consumption of the battery, the electro motive force of the thermoelectric element drives a fan to cool off a heat dissipation plate (Step S132). A large temperature difference is secured with a heat receiving portion side of the thermoelectric element by cooling off a heat discharge portion side of the thermoelectric element, and a sufficient electro motive force is generated. Accordingly, the electro motive force of the thermoelectric element reliably drives the cooling means when the temperature rises in the image sensor, thereby obtaining a sufficient cooling effect.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
