An image processing device and method for identifying an input image and a copier including such an image processing device and method. The image processing device forms a gradated image from the input image, determines whether the gradated image includes a specified pattern, extracts a portion of the input image corresponding to the specified pattern, and compares the extracted portion of the input image with a reference pattern to determine a degree of resemblance between the extracted portion of the input image and the reference pattern.

Image processing device and method for identifying an input image and

An image scanner comprises an image sensor for inputting image data, a rotary encoder, LED and read out window for reading image data, a buffer D RAM, ROM and S RAM for storing image data, a LCD display for displaying input image data, a power source for supplying electrical power, and a memory card for communicating stored image data to a host, wherein the above elements are formed as a cordless, card-shaped unit.

Cordless image scanner

A remote control card having a temperature sensor for detecting and measuring an ambient temperature, an inputter for setting a desired temperature, a transmitter to transmit a temperature signal from the temperature sensor and a temperature signal set by the inputter to a remote place through its transmission and reception antenna, an instruction signal generator for generating an instruction signal for automatic adjustment of wind direction, wind velocity or temperature when the difference between the ambient temperature and a predetermined reference temperature, or between the set temperature and reference temperature exceeds a predetermined value, and a display for indicating the ambient temperature measured by the temperature sensor, the temperature set by the inputter, or a temperature inputted from an external signal transmitter and receiver. There is also a controller for use with the above card.

Remote control card and remote control system

A waveform shaping method including a step of detecting at least two items selected from three items i.e. a signal time width, a peak value level, and a signal failure time width of an input signal in a unit time length, a step of converting for each of the detected items a detected value into a function value based on a function representing likelihood of a logical value '1' or '0', a step of conducting a predetermined computation on the converted function values related to the at least two items to attain a result, and a step of discriminating the result of the computation by a predetermined threshold value to determine a logical value '1' or '0' for the input signal in the unit time length.

Method of and apparatus for shaping waveform and method of and apparatus

A switch in which a switch unit is constituted by situating the free end of a first movable member disposed with a contact between stationary contacts opposing to each other along the vertical direction, while engaging the other end of the movable member to a fixed portion, pivoting one end of a second movable member to the free end of the first movable member while engaging a spring to the other end of the s econd movable member, thereby biasing the contact of the first movable member to one of the stationary contacts, and setting the other end of the second movable member to a switch operation portion, as well as a switch wherein a housing, which enhouses a push button unit containing an illumination unit, a socket unit to be connected to the illumination unit and a plunger to be connected to the push button switch, contains to secure the switch mechanism at the lower opening thereof and the lower end of the plunger is disposed to the switch operation portion.

Push-button switch

A limit switch assembly which comprises a head having an actuator, a switch having a push button protruding outwards from a first area thereof and movable between projected and depressed positions, and also having at least two terminal members protruding outwards from a second area thereof for the electrical connection with external wiring elements, a rubber hood configured to substantially tightly receive the switch therein except for the second area of the switch, and having a circumferential flange formed integrally therewith so as to extend outwards therefrom in a plane generally parallel to the first area of the switch, and a switch box having an opening defined therein at a location confronting the head, and accommodating therein the switch together with the rubber hood. The circumferential flange is, when the switch is so accommodated in the switch box, positioned exteriorly of the switch box and surrounding the opening in the switch box. The head and the switch box are connected together by means of fastening members with the actuator aligned with the push button and, at that time, the circumferential flange area, tightly clamped therebetween.
