| 20090034015 | FAX CONVERSION - A fax conversion system for determining a measure of the number of pages transmitted by fax to or from a plurality of users, comprising: means for converting the transmitted pages into a format that can be output electronically rather than in hardcopy, means for counting the number of pages within an individual fax transmission, means for associating said fax transmission with a respective one of said plurality of users, and means for determining a measure of the total number of pages transmitted by fax to or from each of said plurality of users. The system may determine a measure of an equivalent number of trees saved, or the number of carbon credits gained, by not producing hardcopies of transmitted pages. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20110170147 | OPTICAL READER, CONTROL METHOD OF OPTICAL READER, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - An optical reader is provided. A transport section is capable of transporting a medium which is a reading target in forward and backward directions along a transport path. An optical reading section is installed in the transporting path. The optical reading section optically reads the medium which is transported by the transport section. A control section sets a transport direction of the medium at the time of reading of the medium on the basis of a position of the medium before or when the reading of the medium is started and a reading position of the optical reading section such that a transport distance of the medium until the reading of the medium is completed is shortened, and controls the transport section and the optical reading section. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20110249301 | CONTACT-TYPE IMAGE READING APPARATUS - A contact-type image reading apparatus includes two image reading units each of which has light-receiving elements arranged two-dimensionally for reading an image on an original in two-dimensional directions, a first body unit which includes one of the two image reading units as a first image reading unit, and a second body unit which includes the other image reading unit as a second image reading unit disposed so as to be openable and closable with respect to the first body unit for sandwiching the original therebetween when the second body unit is closed. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20140009797 | BOOK READOUT SYSTEM AND BOOK READOUT METHOD - A book readout system and method for reading out information described in a book at a high speed, while the book, in a bound form, is flipped through. A page state measuring unit ( | 01-09-2014 |
| 20140063561 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus includes an image data storage unit, parameter storage units, a signal generator, a reading unit, and an image processing unit. The image data storage unit stores therein a plurality of pieces of image data input from scanning units. The parameter storage units are provided respectively corresponding to the scanning units and store therein parameters respectively set for the scanning units. The signal generator generates a signal for specifying an order of reading the image data from the image data storage unit and for specifying one of the parameter storage units that stores therein the parameter to be used for the read image data. The reading unit reads the image data in the order specified by the signal. The image processing unit performs image processing on the read image data using the parameters stored in the parameter storage unit specified by the signal. | 03-06-2014 |
| 20140139889 | Image Reading Apparatus - When the two same CIS are used for a first image sensor and a second image sensor and they are arranged to face opposite sides of an original document with longer sides (i.e., a main scanning direction) thereof being aligned, if an arrangement order of the array of the imaging elements and the light guiding unit in a document conveying direction is the same, the connectors are located at opposite side ends in a front-rear direction. Thus, an electric cable connected to the connector of the second image sensor is arranged above the second image sensor and extends in a longitudinal direction. Additionally, a horizontal portion of the electric cable is supported on an upper surface of a casing accommodating the second image sensor. | 05-22-2014 |
| 20150124297 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing device includes a main memory, a parameter register, an image processor, and a parameter transfer unit. The main memory stores therein a parameter used in image processing. The parameter register temporarily stores therein the parameter. The image processor executes the image processing on image data by using the parameter stored in the parameter register. The parameter transfer unit transfers the parameter stored in the main memory to the parameter register during a period in which the image processing is not executed. | 05-07-2015 |
