  • Patent number: 9965144
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an image display unit, an arrangement unit, and a marker display unit. The image display unit displays images. Upon acceptance of an instruction to rearrange an image selected from among the images in an arrangement area including one of the images, the arrangement unit rearranges the selected image at a rearrangement position in the arrangement area on the image display unit. The marker display unit displays a marker image between an image at the rearrangement position and an image arranged lower in rank than the image at the rearrangement position when the rearrangement position is lower than the position of the selected image, or displays the marker image between the image at the rearrangement position and an image arranged higher in rank than the image at the rearrangement position when the rearrangement position is higher than the position of the selected image.

  • Publication number: 20180086094
    Abstract: A fluid discharging apparatus includes a storage chamber storing a fluid, a discharge port communicating with the storage chamber, a supply unit supplying the fluid to the storage chamber by pressure, a moving object moving in a first direction toward the discharge port and in a second direction away from the discharge port, a pressure changing mechanism, and a control unit controlling the moving object and the pressure changing mechanism. The control unit performs discharge processing, moving processing, and pressure control processing. In the discharge processing, the moving object moves from a closed position closing the discharge port in the first direction to discharge the fluid. In the moving processing, the moving object moves in the second direction while the fluid is discharged from the discharge port. In the pressure control processing, the pressure changing mechanism suppresses a pressure increase in storage chamber.

  • Publication number: 20180085777
    Abstract: A fluid discharge apparatus includes a storage chamber, a pressure chamber, a moving body, and a pressure changing mechanism. The storage chamber stores a fluid. The pressure chamber is in communication with the storage chamber through a communication opening, and includes a discharge port to discharge the fluid. The moving body moves inside the storage chamber toward the communication opening, raises a pressure of the fluid in the pressure chamber, and discharges the fluid through the discharge port. The pressure changing mechanism is provided so as to face the pressure chamber, and changes a pressure of the pressure chamber. The pressure changing mechanism actuates in a direction to reduce the pressure chamber pressure after the moving body has started to move toward the communication opening.

  • Publication number: 20180085773
    Abstract: A fluid discharging apparatus includes an accommodation unit that accommodates a fluid, a discharge port that communicates with the accommodation unit, a moving object that moves in a first direction toward the discharge port and in a second direction away from the discharge port in the accommodation unit, and a control unit that controls driving of the moving object. The control unit performs discharging processing and moving processing. In the discharging processing, the discharge port is opened by moving the moving object from a closed position at which the discharge port is closed, in the second direction, and then the fluid is extruded and discharged from the discharge port by moving the moving object in the first direction. In the moving processing, the moving object is moved in the second direction during a period when the fluid is discharged from the discharge port in the discharging processing.

  • Publication number: 20180022105
    Abstract: A fluid ejection device is provided with a valving element adapted to reciprocate in the containing chamber to thereby push the fluid out from the ejection port, and then block the ejection port with a tip part. The containing chamber is provided with a communication port for accepting the fluid pressure-fed from a supply section. In the case in which the valving element is located at a predetermined stopping position, a internal space of the containing chamber is divided by a boundary part, which is formed of a part of the valving element and a part of the containing chamber having contact with each other, into a first space including a part of the space between the ejection port and the communication port, and a second space in which the communication port opens.
