Image-capturing apparatus, captured image processing system, and recording medium

The present invention provides a display system capable of efficiently calibrating image content even when the image is displayed and thereby capable of reducing the time and cost required for calibration, and also provides a computer-readable recording medium. The control device thereof processes an image to be displayed on a display section beforehand so as to be usable for calibration. While the image is actually being displayed on the display section, the control device captures an image displayed on the display section using a capturing device at the timing at which a calibration image is displayed, compares the luminance or color in the calibration image with the luminance or color in the image obtained by capturing the calibration image, and creates correction information for correcting an image signal to be output to the display section on the basis of the result of the comparison.

A pair of filtering membranes are solidly bonded to a membrane-supporting plate by fusibly bonding each of the filtering membranes to the resin membrane-supporting plate. A main fusible domain is formed along peripheral edges of each of the filtering membranes. In addition, a plurality of subordinate fusible domains are intermittently formed in plural locations on one side or on both sides of the main fusible domain. By virtue of the above structure, bonding strength is secured by the main fusible domain, and yet, bonding strength is reinforced by locally provided subordinate fusible domains. A channel is formed in the membrane-supporting plate so that permeated liquid can swiftly flow through the filtering system. In addition, a plurality of projections are formed on peripheral edges of a filtration membrane cartridge facing inner surface of each gutter formed inside of each slit plate by way of causing the respective projections to slidably come into contact with the inner surface of the gutter. This in turn effectively minimizes frictional force between the filtration membrane cartridge and the gutter to enable the operator to easily insert and remove the filtration membrane cartridge into and from the gutter of the slit plate.

Filtration membrane cartridge

An image-forming machine comprising a rotary drum and a cleaning means which removes the toner remaining on the peripheral surface of the rotary drum. The cleaning means includes a support member that extends in the direction of center axis of the rotary drum, a blade-holding member that is mounted on the upper surface of the support member and extends in the direction of center axis of the rotary drum, and a cleaning blade that is held by the blade-holding means and extends in the direction of center axis of the rotary drum. The blade-holding member is allowed to swing on the swing axis that extends in a plane which is substantially perpendicular to the center axis of the rotary drum. An acute angle .alpha. is defined between the cleaning blade and a tangential line of the drum at a portion where the front end of the cleaning blade that is pushed comes into contact with the peripheral surface of the rotary drum, on the downstream side as viewed in a direction in which the rotary drum rotates. Restriction members are attached to the support member at both ends thereof in the direction of the center axis, the restriction members having restriction portions opposed, while maintaining a very small gap x, to the upper surface of the blade-holding member in order to restrict both ends of the blade-holding member in the direction of center axis from being displaced in a direction to separate away from the upper surface of the support member.
