An image processing apparatus includes: a reception portion that receives a first image; a selection portion that selects a head to perform pre-ejection; a generation portion that includes the selected head and generates patterns for detection of a transport speed of a sheet; an output portion that synthesizes the generated patterns with the received first image to output a second image on a sheet; a reading portion that reads the second image; an extraction portion that extracts the patterns from the read second image; and a control portion that analyzes the extracted patterns and controls the transport speed of the sheet at the output portion.

The invention provides a flavor-retention agent which is harmless to the environment and the human body and exhibits excellent ability to prevent deterioration of flavors. The flavor-retention agent contains an active ingredient which is obtained by subjecting a raw material such as leaves and/or tubers of a potato plant to extraction and Method for Using Same.

An image recording method comprises the steps of: acquiring first recording characteristic information of recording elements of a recording head by reading a first test pattern formed with ejecting ink droplet from the recording elements; obtaining first density unevenness correction information based on the first recording characteristic information; acquiring second recording characteristic information of the recording element by reading a second test pattern different from the first test pattern formed with ejecting ink droplet from the recording elements; obtaining second density unevenness correction information based on the second recording characteristic information; correcting image data based on the first and second density unevenness correction information to calculate density unevenness-corrected image data; and calculating an ejection pattern of the recording element based on the unevenness-corrected image data.

Image recording method and image recording apparatus

An inkjet recording apparatus has: a head having a plurality of nozzles which eject an ink onto a recording medium; a conveyance device which conveys the recording medium; a droplet ejection control device which controls ink ejection of the head; a test image forming device that forms a test image on the recording medium by causing the ink to be ejected from every n (where n is a natural number equal to 2 or higher) nozzles in an X direction perpendicular to a direction in which the recording medium is conveyed, and causing the ink to be ejected so as to form vertical lines forming n columns which shift by one nozzle in the X direction and each extend continuously in terms of a Y direction parallel to the direction in which the recording medium is conveyed; and a reading device which is provided on a conveyance path of the recording medium, reads in a test image on the recording medium and has an image reading structure covering a length corresponding to full width of the recording medium in a breadthways direction which is perpendicular to the direction in which the recording medium is conveyed, wherein in the test image, an arrangement pitch in the X direction of the vertical lines is equal to or exceeding a reading pitch in the X direction of the reading device, an arrangement pitch in the Y direction of the vertical lines is N times a reading pitch in the Y direction of the reading device (where N is a natural number), and an interval corresponding to variation in a conveyance of the recording medium is provided between the vertical lines in such a manner that a length in the Y direction of each of the vertical lines is less than the reading pitch in the Y direction of the reading device.

An instant photographic film unit includes a mask sheet having an image frame and two sheets, one of which has a photosensitive layer, laminated and bonded together, and a developing liquid container disposed in a predetermined position for supplying a developing liquid between the two sheets to produce an image. The mask sheer and the two sheets are bonded together in a predetermined laminated state, with at least one of the mask sheet and the two sheets being in the form of a continuous web. The continuous web is cut off into self-developed instant photographic film units of a predetermined length. A predetermined number of instant photographic film units are automatically stacked and placed in a film pack.

After first, second, and third continuous members are bonded to each other in a laminated state, they are cut together to a predetermined length for thereby producing an instant photography film unit. A predetermined number of produced instant photography film units are stacked in a stacking station, and then automatically placed into a film pack in a packaging station. An overall process of manufacturing instant photography film units that are packaged is performed automatically and efficiently.

A citrus flavor has at least one of an aroma component and a water soluble citrus extract component. The citrus flavor further includes a stabilizing component. The aroma component is obtained from a low-boiling part of a cold pressed oil. The water soluble citrus extract component is obtained from a cold pressed oil by an extraction using a hydrate alcohol solvent. The stabilizing component includes a mixture of coumarin analogues obtained from a cold pressed oil. The resulting citrus flavor has a high stability.
