Patent number: 8910550Abstract: A printer according to the present invention includes a recording unit that makes recording on recording paper, a cutter unit that has a movable cutter edge to cut the recording paper, and a containing portion that receives recorded matter, which is the recorded paper cut by the cutter unit. Further, the printer includes a cut piece collecting portion that collects cut pieces, which are recording paper cut by the cutter unit, and a cut piece collecting portion cover that opens/closes in conjunction with a cutting operation of the cutter unit. The recording paper cut by the cutter unit is collected by a cut piece collecting portion if the cut piece collecting portion cover is in an open state and is made movable to the containing portion if the cut piece collecting portion cover is in a closed state. Further, the cut piece collecting portion cover performs one opening/closing operation for a predetermined number of cutting operations.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2011Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Takashi Furuta

Patent number: 8807743Abstract: An open-close cover assembly of an image forming apparatus capable of maintaining an open angle of an open-close cover even when sheets of large quantity are stacked on the cover and preventing the cover and an apparatus main unit from being damaged even when the cover is applied with an excessive force acting in a cover opening direction. When the cover is in open state, first stopper portions of the cover are engaged with first receiving portions of the main unit, thereby maintaining the cover open angle. When an excessive force is applied to the cover, shaft portions of the main unit are disengaged from bearing portions of the cover through openings formed in the bearing portions after the first stopper portions have been disengaged from the first receiving portions and second stopper portions of the cover have been engaged with second receiving portions of the main unit.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2012Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Takashi Furuta

Patent number: 7272792Abstract: A start-up processing unit of a server sends to a client a character inputting web-page and a program of applications that the server handles concurrently. After converting reading information of an input character string received from the client and for which an operating character code is designated, into kanji character strings of an intermediate code and an operating character code, a kana-to-kanji conversion unit creates a candidate list of a kanji character string consisting of character images of the operating character code and the intermediate code, sends the candidate list to the client together with a candidate selection program and causes the client to select a candidate character string of kanji. An editing/outputting unit receives the operating character code of a character string containing the selected kanji candidate from the client and transfers it to a corresponding operation system.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2004Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Takashi Furuta, Shin-ichi Nojima, Hideki Ushigome, Shouji Iwamoto, Aya Yamaguchi, Haruhito Homma

Patent number: 6905839Abstract: In a method for evaluating in vivo human cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A), at least a 2-hour urine collection and one blood sample are obtained. Endogenous cortisol in plasma and 6?-hydroxycortisol in urine are measured. Metabolic clearance specific for the 6?-hydroxylation of cortisol is then expressed as the amount of urinary excreted 6?-hydroxycortisol divided by the area under the concentration-time curve of cortisol, being a safe and reliable index for CYP3A phenotyping to assess in vivo CYP3A activity in humans.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2002Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Inventor: Takashi Furuta
