  • Patent number: 11930142
    Abstract: An identification apparatus for identifying a type of a sheet obtains, by a sensor, a plurality of parameters including a parameter concerning a characteristic of the sheet, and identifies the type of the sheet based on a result of inputting the plurality of parameters obtained by the sensor to an estimation model obtained by machine learning using, as input data, parameters corresponding to the parameters which are obtained by the sensor and include a first parameter and a second parameter classified in accordance with whether a value tends to change due to a predetermined element, and also using, as supervised data, a type of a sheet if the parameters are obtained.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230339716
    Abstract: A conveyance apparatus includes a set unit, a conveyance unit, a first sensor, a control unit, and a platen. The set unit allows a roll sheet to be set. The conveyance unit convey the roll sheet. The first sensor acquires data to be used to identify a type of the roll sheet during sheet conveyance by the conveyance unit. The control unit controls an operation on the roll sheet based on a result of the data acquisition by the first sensor. The platen supports the roll sheet. The first sensor is disposed between a position at which the roll sheet is set and the platen on a conveyance path of the roll sheet.

  • Patent number: 11328189
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus performs acquiring measurement results obtained by measuring a characteristic of a recording medium a plurality of times; inputting information corresponding to a type of the recording medium; acquiring an extraction range of the type indicated by the information, among extraction ranges set to respective types of recording media for determination of a type; setting, based on the measurement results and the type, a parameter for correcting the measurement results to reduce difference between the measurement results and the extraction range; correcting, by using the parameter, measurement results obtained by measuring a characteristic of a recording medium to be recorded; and extracting a candidate type of the recording media, the measurement results, based on the corrected measurement results and the extraction range.

  • Patent number: 7175342
    Abstract: In a control equipment 10, shaft-misalignment amount of a shaft 3a of a gas turbine 3 and a shaft 5a of a steam turbine 5 is measured and speed-increase ratio of rotation speed and heat soak time of the steam turbine 5 are set in accordance with the measured shaft-misalignment amount so as to have the shaft-misalignment amount stay within a permissible range when a clutch 7 connects the shafts 3a and 5a.
