An image reproducing apparatus having a small size and which is highly portable reproduces an image contained within a hologram or holographic stereogram. In one embodiment, when a movable section movably attached to an apparatus body is moved from a first position, in which the movable section abuts the apparatus body, to a second position in which the movable section and apparatus body are separated, illumination light from a light source is irradiated at a predetermined incidence angle onto a hologram or holographic stereogram attached to a hologram attach section. In other embodiments, light from a light source is reflected from an edge portion of a light transmitting member, or from a separately provided mirror, to be irradiated at a predetermined angle onto the hologram or holographic stereogram.

Image reproducing apparatus for hologram or holographic stereogram

An image recording apparatus having a small size and which is highly portable reproduces an image contained within a hologram or holographic stereogram. In one embodiment, when a movable section movably attached to an apparatus body is moved from a first position, in which the mavable sections abuts the apparatus body, to a second position in which the movable section and apparatus body are separated, illumination light from a light source is irradiated at a perdetermined incidence angle onto a hologram or holographic stereogram attached to a hologram attach section. In other embodiments, light from a light source is reflected from an edge portion of a light transmitting member, or from a separately provided mirror, to be irradiated at a perdetermined angle onto the hologram or holographic stereogram.

A high-reliability computer system is provided in which error correcting codes are preliminarily added to the signals to be applied to a voter from a plurality of computers by error correcting code encoders so that, even if an error resulting from a failure of the voter occurs, an error correcting code decoder can provide a correct result based on the error correcting codes, whereby a failure in the computers and error correcting code encoders can be avoided by means of the voter, a failure in the voter can be avoided by the error correcting code decoder, and a failure in the error correcting code decoder can be avoided by parallel redundancy arrangement.
