Title: Image processing method and apparatus
Inventor: USHIDA KATSUTOSHI
IPC: G06T3/40
Filed: 1992-01-27
Abstract: The invention relates to an image processing method and apparatus in which, when a binary image is converted to a higher density and interpolated, more effective conversion patterns are proposed and the interpolation upon conversion to higher density is performed by a simple logic operation without using a pattern memory. One original pixel is subdivided into 2 n  portions (where n is an integer) in a main scanning direction and/or 2 m  portions (where m is an integer) in a subordinate scanning direction, and a density value of a subdivided pixel of a pixel of interest, which has been subdivided, is decided based upon a density value of an original pixel of interest and density values of pixels peripheral thereto. An angle of inclination of a slanted line which is the object of interpolation processing is detected, and the number of subdivided pixels, which undergo a density conversion for interpolation processing, is changed in dependence upon the angle of inclination. Alternatively, the width of a slanted line which is the object of interpolation processing is detected, and the processing of density conversion for interpolation processing is controlled in dependence upon the width of the slanted line. As a result, it is possible to obtain an image in which contour smoothing of the slanted lines of a character image is performed more effectively, with no missing black lines.

Abstract: An apparatus for recording information carried by an electro-magnetic radiation beam. The apparatus has a recording unit having two electrodes (14 and 24), one of the electrodes being earthed, a photoconductive member (26) and a recording member (16) capable of holding electric charges, the members being arranged so as to face each other between the electrodes. An electro-magnetic radiation beam carrying information to be recorded is directed to the photoconductive member (26) under presence of a voltage across the electrodes. Conductivity of the photoconductive member (26) then varies according to the information so that electric charges are generated in the photoconductive member (26). An electric field is then generated and is applied to the recording member (16). Thus, an electric charge image corresponding to the information is formed on the recording member (16). An electro-magnetic radiation beam is directed to the photoconductive member (26) to increase the conductivity thereof so that the electric charges generated in the photoconductive member (26) flow to the ground via the earthed electrode.

Abstract: A reflector molded of a synthetic resin for a lighting device mounted on a vehicle is provided, wherein a slit is transversely formed directly below a joint line defined by a reflective surface and an upper flat surface of the reflector with an optical axis as a center in order to minimize or eliminate the undesirable thermal deformation of the reflector when a light source is continuously turned on for a time longer than a predetermined one. Usually, the extent of transverse extension of the slit is determined with the optical axis of the reflector as a center depending on a quantity of electricity consumed by the light source, a distance between the light source and the upper flat surface and an area of the upper flat surface. In case that the reflective surface of the reflector is designed in an asymmetrical configuration, the extent of transverse extension of the slit is determined asymmetrically relative to the optical axis of the reflector corresponding to the degree of asymmetry of the reflective surface.

Abstract: An analytical device 2 for detecting analytes in a liquid sample is disclosed having a housing containing an assay membrane 12. The flow of liquids across and through the membrane 12 can be controlled by providing a relatively movable barrier 14 which in one configuration tends to block the flow of liquid through the membrane 12, thereby directing liquid across the membrane, while relative displacement of the barrier to a second configuration allows liquid to pass through the membrane, eg for washing steps. Additionally or alternatively, the membrane 12 can be movable into and out of contact with absorbent material 18 so that in one configuration in which the membrane 12 is in contact with the absorbent material 18, liquids tend to be drawn through the membrane, while in a second configuration in which the membrane is held away from the absorbent material, liquids tend to flow across the membrane.
