An apparatus and system for analyzing one or more points of interest. The apparatus includes a main support having first and second legs. The first and second legs extending transversely from the main support. The main support nests an imaging device capable of capturing an image of a point of interest during use. An imaging shroud is coupled to and extending from the first leg, the shroud having a first opening for surrounding the point of interest. A second opening in the shroud is positioned such that it extends to be within the main support for the passage of a captured image of the point of interest during use.

An image forming apparatus includes a display and an image forming unit. The display includes a display screen to display a preview image before an image is formed on a recording medium. The image forming unit forms, on the recording medium, an image corresponding to the preview image displayed on the display screen. Each of a vertical length and a horizontal length of the display screen is equal to or greater than a length of a long side of a maximum size recording medium on which an image is to be formed by the image forming unit.

A system for acquiring multi-angle images of a product includes a workstation having a working surface for placing a product, a camera supporting member having a vertical axis, and an image capturing device movably attached to the camera supporting member so that it may move along the vertical axis of the camera supporting member. The system captures and analyzes a digital image of a product to detect the vertical center of the product, and adjusts the position of the image capturing device along the vertical axis so that the vertical center of the product is proximate to the vertical center of the image. The system may also have a turntable and additionally rotate the turntable at multiple capturing angles and capture one or more additional digital images of the product at various capturing angles and store the one or more additional images in a product database.

An imaging device provides a mobile device multi-feed scanner, which may utilize remote data capture for multi-sheet feed scanning by using mirrors to form a reflective path allowing the viewing of the reverse side of the check on a platform to capture the check image on a mobile device. A camera on the mobile device may either sequentially or simultaneously capture a picture of both the front and back sides of the check. The platform may include a transparent portion, which may be adjacent to a stage portion. The first and second mirrors may be positioned such as to allow imaging of a reverse side of an object through the transparent portion of the platform while the object rests on the stage portion.

A device including a stand portion for holding a user terminal having a camera, and a reflective element for reflecting an image of a visual information medium toward the camera of the user terminal, the reflective element is connected to the stand portion by a pre-positioning member movably mounted in relation to the stand portion. And the pre-positioning member is designed to bear against a surface of the user terminal with a view to pre-positioning the reflective element in relation to the camera of the user terminal.

An improved enclosure device for protecting electronic equipment is disclosed. The enclosure device may include an adapter plate for attaching the electronic equipment to the enclosure device. The adapter plate is preferably configured to prevent damage to the electronic equipment when mounting the enclosure device to a generally vertical support. The enclosure device may include one or more inserts having an opening and a slit for receiving a cable so that the cable can be passed through the enclosure device. The insert preferably seals against the cable so that a barrier to water is created. As such, the electronic equipment may be protected from rain.

An image forming apparatus comprises a first chassis, a second chassis, a first connector, a second connector, a first scale and a first indicator. The first chassis and the second chassis are connected via the first connector and the second connector. The first scale is provided on one of the first connector and the second connector. The first scale indicates a relative distance between the first chassis and the second chassis in a first direction. The first indicator is provided on the other of the first connector and the second connector. The first indicator points the first scale.
