Latest Patents

One of Okada's latest patents involves an innovative image scanner that includes a document table, a document cover, a light source, an image sensor, and a circuit designed to enhance image quality. This scanner acquires pre-reading black data with the light source turned off, followed by line image data with the light source on, and finally post-reading black data again with the light source off. This process allows for accurate black correction on the line image data based on the determined black reference data.

Another notable patent is for an image scanning apparatus that features a distance detector. This device outputs a detection signal corresponding to the distance in the main scanning direction from a specific position to the side end of a document sheet being conveyed. The controller within the apparatus stores the first and second positions of the document sheet based on the detection signals, enabling the calculation of the skew angle of the document sheet.
