A digital contents editing method performs an editing operation of digital contents with a plurality of computers connected via a network. A digital contents editing apparatus or server accumulates the initial data of the digital contents and the editing operation information which is digitized, and transfers the editing operation information to clients which are involved in the editing operation. Each client then performs an editing operation of the digital contents by creating the editing operation information, in which the editing operation of the digital contents is digitized, and communicates only the editing operation information to other clients via the server and the network.

Digital contents editing method and apparatus thereof

The present invention offers a method for generating animations of a multi-articulated structure, a recording medium with the method recorded therein and an animation generating apparatus using the method. Motions of rigid sticks which approximate the upper arm connected to the shoulder joint and the lower arm connected by the elbow joint to the upper arm are modeled, by an interpolation scheme and/or equations of motion based on laws of physics, as temporal changes in angular positions in their respective constraint planes and the generated results are combined and output.

Method for generating animations of a multi-articulated structure,

A coordinate address is generated which specifies the position in a square original tile area where pattern data is to be written for each pixel, and a check is made to determine if the coordinate address is adjacent any one of sides of the original tile area. When the written pixel is adjacent any one of sides of the original tile area, the position of a pixel is calculated which is adjacent the written pixel on another tile area adjacent the original tile area along that side, and the position of the adjacent pixel when the adjacent tile area is laid on the original tile area is calculated as a shifted position of the adjacent pixel. The positions of the written pixel and the shifted position are rotated predetermined angle about the center of a polygon at least once to obtain rotational positions. Pixel values are additionally written at these shift and rotational positions.

The image forming apparatus includes a unit for radiating light to an original with plural lighting conditions, a unit for changing the lighting condition according to a concentration of the original and reference exposure data, a unit for storing the reference exposure data, a unit for forming an image on an image carrier under different image forming conditions, using light radiated by the radiating unit and sent via the original, a unit for changing in a first mode the image forming conditions, and changing in a second mode the reference exposure data stored by the storing unit, and a unit for switching the first and second modes so as to change the operation of the changing unit.

Electrophotographic image forming apparatus with user-adjustable forming

A coagulation reaction tank comprises a cylindrical tank provided in the central part thereof with a rotary stirring mechanism furnished with stirring vanes and a filtration tank for introducing the liquid from within the cylindrical tank in the form of filtrate and discharging the filtrate out of the cylindrical tank. This coagulation reaction tank is characterized by the fact that the filtration tank provided in the bottom thereof with slits is disposed in the cylindrical tank above the stirring vanes or the cylindrical tank provided in the upper part of the wall thereof with slits and the filtration tank is disposed outside the slits.
