20080257241 | Threading device of sewing machine - A threading device of a sewing machine includes a thread inserting base formed with a thread path hole having a thread inserting port opened toward an outer side of a sewing machine frame, and further formed with an air path hole which joins the thread path hole in the vicinity of the thread inserting port, an air supply device coupled to the air path hole to supply compressed air, and illuminating means provided on the sewing machine frame to irradiate a joining portion of the thread path hole and the air path hole. The thread inserting base includes a transparent member through which at least the joining portion of the thread path hole and the air path hole can be visually recognized. | 10-23-2008 |
20080308027 | Sewing machine - A lower end of a thread guide lever, which is rockably attached to a lower looper and supports a thread pipe, and an air ejecting unit, which faces a thread inserting hole of the thread pipe and ejects air toward the thread inserting hole, are coupled via a coupling member so that they are interlocked with each other. The coupling member is moved such that a discharging port of an air nozzle is positioned at an ejecting position close to the thread inserting hole when a thread discharging hole is positioned at a threading position which is coincident with a thread hole of a lower looper, and such that the air nozzle is moved to a standby position when the thread discharging hole is moved to a retreating position. | 12-18-2008 |

20090077168 | ACCESS CONTROL METHOD AND ACCESS CONTROL DEVICE - A client device and a server device are connected to each other via a network. The client device sends an acquire request containing an identifier that indentifies the partial image data to the server device. The server device extracts the identifier from the acquire request, and acquires image information about the partial image data that corresponds to the identifier from an identifier table. Then the server acquires partial image data corresponding to the image information from a partial image data database and sends the acquired partial image data to the client device via the network. | 03-19-2009 |
20090119583 | IMAGE DISPLAYING APPARATUS, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, AND IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM - An attribute determining unit determines an attribute of image data of an image. A still-image extracting unit extracts, when the attribute is a moving image, a still image from the image data. A feature-amount obtaining unit obtains a feature amount from image data of the still image and image data of a still image when the attribute is the still image. An arrangement-position determining unit determines an arrangement position of a display area based on the feature amount. A display-image generating unit generates a thumbnail image from the still image and displays a list of thumbnail images in the display area, based on the arrangement position and the display area. | 05-07-2009 |
20090119585 | IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, IMAGE DISPLAY PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A disclosed image display apparatus for displaying multiple images on a single screen includes a magnification unit configured to, in response to a zooming operation on the screen, magnify distances between centroids of first group images included in the multiple images and magnify the first group images; and a display control unit configured to display in a space of the magnified distances one or more images different from the multiple images. A magnification rate of the distances between the centroids has a nonlinear relationship to a magnification rate of the first group images, and within an extent of the nonlinear relationship, the magnification rate of the distances between the centroids has a predetermined range in which the magnification rate of the first group images is larger than the magnification rate of the distances between the centroids. | 05-07-2009 |
20090238483 | Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and computer program product - A determining unit determines whether a background pixel value of image data matches a predetermined comparison value. A replacing unit replaces, when the determining unit determines that the background pixel value does not match the comparison value, a pixel value of a pixel of the image data with a replacing value that is obtained by subtracting the pixel value from a predetermined maximum pixel value. An encoding unit generates encoded data by encoding the image data in which the pixel value is replaced with the replacing value by using a predetermined encoding system. | 09-24-2009 |
20100034473 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - In an image processing apparatus, an encoding unit encodes a processed image; a determining unit determines whether a reference pixel has been subjected to the image processing; and a decoding unit decodes, when the determining unit determines that the reference pixel has been subjected to the image processing, a piece of rectangular block code data of a rectangular block thereby acquiring a second decoded image. The encoding unit refers to, when the determining unit determines that the reference pixel has been subjected to the image processing, the processed image and encodes the second decoded image. | 02-11-2010 |
20110064309 | Image processing apparatus and image processing method - An image processing apparatus includes an image separating unit that separates and creates a plurality of derivative images from an input image based on feature of the input image; a coding unit that codes each of the derivative images separately, couples coded data of the derivative images, and generates multilayer structure data; and a controller that controls a code amount of coded data of at least one derivative image with a low code assignment priority out of the derivative images so that a data amount of the multilayer structure data is equal to or less than a limit amount. | 03-17-2011 |
20110164283 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus having an image data storing unit configured to store image data, an image data receiving unit configured to receive image data scanned the image forming apparatus, and to store the image data to the image data storing unit.
