RECORDING APPARATUS AND MEDIUM SUPPORTING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240114100 titled 'RECORDING APPARATUS AND MEDIUM SUPPORTING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The recording apparatus described in the abstract includes a support unit, a recording unit, and a projection unit. The projection unit projects an image onto the support surface by blocking a part of the light emitted from the irradiation unit with a light blocking portion.

  • Support unit with a support surface for holding a medium
  • Recording unit for recording on the medium
  • Projection unit with an irradiation unit and a light blocking portion
  • Light blocking portion includes at least one light blocking region
  • Projection of a reference position image onto the support surface

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in:

  • Photography studios
  • Art studios
  • Educational settings for demonstrations

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of accurately projecting reference positions onto a support surface for recording purposes.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved accuracy in recording positions
  • Enhanced visualization for users
  • Increased efficiency in recording processes

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include:

  • Manufacturing companies
  • Design firms
  • Research laboratories

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of projectors in combination with recording devices in various industries.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to existing projection systems in terms of accuracy and efficiency?

This article does not provide a direct comparison between this technology and existing projection systems. Further research or testing would be needed to determine the specific advantages of this innovation.

What are the potential limitations or drawbacks of using a light blocking portion in the projection unit?

The article does not address any potential limitations or drawbacks of using a light blocking portion in the projection unit. Additional studies or user feedback may be necessary to identify any issues that could arise from this design feature.


Original Abstract Submitted

a recording apparatus includes a support unit including a support surface configured to support a medium, a recording unit configured to perform recording on the medium supported by the support unit, and a projection unit configured to project an image onto the support surface. the projection unit includes an irradiation unit configured to irradiate the support surface with light, and a light blocking portion configured to block a part of the light emitted from the irradiation unit. the light blocking portion includes at least one light blocking region configured to block the part of the light emitted from the irradiation unit. the projection unit is configured to project a reference position image indicating a reference position of the medium supported by the support surface onto the support surface by blocking the part of the light emitted by the irradiation unit with the at least one light blocking region.
