IMAGE READING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240348733 titled 'IMAGE READING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a carriage with an optical system that detects reflected light from an image reading position on a document. The carriage controller controls the movement of the carriage through a drive device based on its position relative to a reference position. A carriage travel measurer measures the movement of the carriage and generates a measurement value. A reset decider determines if the carriage position needs to be reset based on the measurement value. If a reset is needed, the carriage controller detects the reference position and resets the carriage position.
- The carriage includes an optical system that detects reflected light from a document.
- The carriage controller controls the movement of the carriage based on its position relative to a reference position.
- A carriage travel measurer measures the movement of the carriage and generates a measurement value.
- A reset decider determines if the carriage position needs to be reset.
- The carriage controller resets the carriage position if necessary.
Potential Applications: - Document scanning devices - Printers - Photocopiers
Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate positioning of the carriage for document scanning - Prevents errors in document reading due to misalignment
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in document scanning - Reduced errors in image reading - Enhanced overall performance of scanning devices
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Carriage Technology for Document Scanning Devices" This technology can be used in various commercial applications such as document scanners, printers, and photocopiers to improve accuracy and efficiency in document scanning processes. The market implications include increased demand for high-quality scanning devices in offices, libraries, and other professional settings.
Questions about Carriage Technology: 1. How does the optical system in the carriage contribute to accurate document scanning? - The optical system detects reflected light from the document, allowing for precise positioning of the carriage during scanning. 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this technology in document scanning devices? - By reducing errors and improving efficiency, businesses can save on time and resources spent on re-scanning documents.
Original Abstract Submitted
a carriage includes an optical system that detects reflected light from an image reading position on a document. a carriage controller controls, when the image of the document is to be read, movement of the carriage through a drive device, on the basis of the position of the carriage with respect to a predetermined reference position. a carriage travel measurer performs measurement about the movement of the carriage, and generates a measurement value. a reset decider decides whether the position of the carriage recognized by the carriage controller has to be reset, on the basis of the measurement value. when it is decided that the position of the carriage has to be reset, the carriage controller detects the reference position, and resets the position of the carriage.
