Abstract: A method controls a tape processing apparatus which performs, on a tape to be sent from a tape inlet to a tape outlet along a tape travel passage through an embossing section, a series of tape processing operations of incoming-feed operation to feed the tape from the tape inlet to the embossing section, embossing operation in the embossing section, and of outgoing-feed operation to feed the tape from the embossing section to the tape outlet in an order as mentioned above, and which also indicates in an indicator that the apparatus is in the tape processing operations. The method indicates in the indicator a pre-embossing feed indication to indicate the incoming-feed operation and a post-embossing feed indication to indicate the outgoing-feed operation in an indicating mode which is different from an embossing indication to indicate that the apparatus is in the embossing operation.

Abstract: There is provided a sheet processing apparatus in which a braille character is embossed on a process sheet, which is manually inserted from a sheet inserting part provided at one end of a sheet traveling path, by a braille-characters embossing device facing on the sheet traveling path, wherein the sheet inserting part is provided with visually recognizable insertion-part indicating information as an indication for inserting the process sheet.

Abstract: An embossing control method used in a braille-embossing apparatus includes an embossing head that embosses a braille string on a tape fed along a tape-conveying path, the braille string being embossed in an area biased to one of upper and lower sides of the tape along the width of the tape without changing the upper and lower direction of the braille string. The embossing control method includes the steps of designating the area biased to one of the upper and lower sides of the tape along the width of the tape as a braille-embossing area in which braille embossing is to be performed and embossing the braille string in the designated braille-embossing area.

Abstract: An apparatus, a method and a program are provided, each of which is intended to produce small prints. A variety of graphics are useful as framing elements for outer framing and tabulation with no need for increasing the volume of information to be prestored. One optional character, e.g., a pictogram, can be designated as a front ruling element and/or a rear ruling element for outer framing and tabulation. The optional character is chosen from among characters capable of input as character elements in lines of input characters. Upon execution of a print command, dot development is performed with respect to the front ruling portion and/or the rear ruling portion by utilizing fonts as character elements. Line types for upper ruling and lower ruling can also be designated, thereby effecting dot development depending upon the designated types of lines.

Abstract: A textual information processing apparatus is capable of forming an ink-printed character string and a Braille character string corresponding to input texture information in a common processing area of a tape. The ink-printed character string and/or the Braille character string can be laid out in a desired beautiful fashion. Before performing ink-printing and Braille embossing separately, the Braille embossing area length necessary for the Braille embossing is determined, and the ink-printing area length necessary for the ink-printing is set. The Braille embossing area length and the ink-printing area length are compared with each other, and a greater length is employed as the length of the common processing area.

Abstract: There is provided a method of controlling a tape processing apparatus where braille is embossed at one side in the width direction of a tape with an embossing unit arranged at the one side. The method includes: an embossing-position defining step of defining a braille embossing position in the width direction of the tape; an embossing-data generating step of generating embossing data based on input information and the embossing position; and a braille embossing step of embossing braille on the tape based on the generated embossing data. In the embossing-data generating step, when the embossing position is arranged at one side in the width direction on the same side as the embossing unit, the embossing data is generated for forward embossing. While, when the embossing position is arranged at the other side in the width direction opposite to the embossing unit, the embossing data is generated for reverse embossing.

Abstract: Before embossing raised letters on a target tape which is subjected to embossing of raised letters, written letters are printed based on inputted character information, and also an upside-and-downside identifying information for identifying the upside and the downside of the target tape as seen in the widthwise direction thereof is printed on the target tape. In the emboss-processing section, the upside and the downside of the target tape is detected based on the identifying information. If the target tape is found to have been inserted upside down, the raised letters are embossed in a state of turning the embossing data by 180 degrees.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a wire wound electronic component with stable quality, as well as raising reliability thereof by improving heat radiation, water-proofness, resistance against static electricity, resistance against stresses, magnetic characteristic thereof. Powder of one or both of an inorganic material and a metallic material having higher thermal conductivity than a resin is added as a filler in the above resin, or a mixture of one or both of powders of the said inorganic material or the said metallic material and powders of a ferrite material for magnetic shielding is added as a filler in the above resin. When a sealing resin comprising a high thermal conductive material added thereto is used, heat generated inside a wire wound electronic component by passing a current through a coil conductor is effectively released outside the component, and the component can have a good heat radiation.
