Patent number: 11964489Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes a recording head including a plurality of nozzles for ejecting ink, a conveyor belt that has a plurality of apertures and conveys recording media one by one, a control unit, an ink receiver, and a pipe-shaped ink discharge flow path. The control unit controls drive of the recording head and the conveyor belt to perform flushing, in which the ink is ejected from the nozzle of the recording head to pass through one of the apertures, at a timing different from a timing contributing to image recording. The ink receiver is disposed to face the recording head sandwiching the conveyor belt therebetween, to receive the ink after passing through the aperture when the flushing is performed. The ink discharge flow path is connected to the ink receiver. When the flushing is performed, a predetermined amount of liquid is stored in the ink receiver.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventors: Takashi Somete, Chikara Ishihara, Noriaki Furukawa, Takuma Araki, Jun Nakano, Hiroomi Nakatsuji, Issei Nakano

Patent number: 11875120Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that enable rapid and cost-effective human-in-the-loop synthesis of domain-specific textual training data for a deep learning model. The data augmentation process incorporates a sentence generator, a sentence classifier, and weak-supervision by a domain expert that is ‘in the loop.’ Generally, both the sentence generator and the sentence classifier are implemented as machine learning models. The sentence generator generates new sentences based on manually labeled sentences and the sentence classifier generates labels for the newly generated sentences. The new sentences are corrected or verified by a domain expert and then used to retrain one or both of the sentence generator and the sentence classifier.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Jun Araki
