| 20110297304 | THERMALLY CAULKED COMBINED STRUCTURE, METHOD OF THERMAL CAULKING, AND IMAGE SENSOR UNIT AND IMAGE READING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - In an image reading apparatus incorporating a CIS unit warped by heat shrinkage of a thermoplastic resin molded product, the optical distances from a read line to a photoelectric conversion element in the center and the two end portions in the longitudinal direction of the photoelectric conversion element are different. A thermally caulked combined structure is obtained by fixing an object to be fixed by thermal caulking by thermally deforming a plurality of caulking projections formed in the longitudinal direction of a molded product made of a thermoplastic resin and having a rectangular parallelepiped outer shape.

| 20100320928 | WHITE LIGHT EMITTING APPARATUS AND LINE ILLUMINATOR USING THE SAME IN IMAGE READING APPARATUS - A white light emitting apparatus includes a light source section in which a first white LED that emits white light whose chromaticity deviates to a blue side from a predetermined white region of a CIE chromaticity diagram and a second white LED that emits white light whose chromaticity deviates to a yellow side from the predetermined white region are adjacently disposed so as to emit light with optical axes in substantially the same direction, and a current regulator that independently drives the blue LED chip in the first and second white LEDs, respectively. A color mixture of lights emitted from the first and second white LEDs is adjusted to a chromaticity of the predetermined white region using the current regulator. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20090040574 | IMAGE SCANNING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An image sensor using three-color, e.g., R, G, and B light-emitting elements assures a period in which all the three colors are turned on and periods in each of which one light-emitting element is turned off during a scan period per pixel, and integrates and measures amounts of light of the respective periods. An amount of light based on the OFF light-emitting element is calculated based on a difference between the amounts of light during the full light-ON period and each light-OFF period to define an amount of light of the light-emitting element, and light intensity information corresponding to each light-emitting element is obtained based on a total amount of light during the entire scan period per pixel, and the amount of light of each light-emitting element. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090010020 | LINEAR LIGHTING APPARATUS AND IMAGE READER USING THE SAME - Conventional methods using two optical waveguide members are disadvantageous in cost because they require two optical waveguide members and pairs of their associated components. A linear lighting apparatus includes a rod-like optical waveguide member ( | 01-08-2009 |
