Patent number: 11209374Abstract: An optical characteristics measuring device includes a first light source capable of irradiating a sample with light and a second light source capable of irradiating the sample with microwaves. A measuring device measures microwave power of the reflection of the microwaves from the sample. A calculation unit calculates a parameter relating to the electrical conductivity of the sample using the microwave power of the reflected waves measured by the measuring device. A control unit controls the intensity of the light of the first light source so that the parameter becomes approximately a predetermined value. The calculation unit specifies first to n-th intensities of the light at which the parameter becomes approximately the predetermined value for each of the first to n-th wavelengths of the light and obtains relationships between the first to n-th wavelengths and the first to n-th intensities corresponding to the respective first to n-th wavelengths.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Toshiba Memory CorporationInventor: Ken Hoshino

Patent number: 8451492Abstract: This invention is directed to a printing apparatus capable of reliably performing a driving switching operation using movement of a carriage. In the printing apparatus, it sometimes cannot be determined to which of a clutch lever or the cap of a printhead the carriage abuts against. In this case, even if the carriage abuts against the cap, a position where the abutment was detected is regarded as the temporary home position of the carriage. When a conveyance motor is driven to transfer its driving force to a desired engaging destination, the cap is retracted from the moving path of the carriage. The driving force of the conveyance motor can thereby be transferred to the desired engaging destination.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2009Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Ken Hoshino
