  • Publication number: 20240066880
    Abstract: A liquid supplying device includes a tank and a cartridge. The cartridge is configured to be detachably attached to the tank in an attachment-detachment direction crossing a vertical direction. The cartridge includes a first storage chamber. The tank includes a second storage chamber, a liquid passage, and a gas passage. The liquid passage has a first end, a second end, and a first extending portion. The second end is formed with a second opening open to an atmosphere. The first extending portion extends from the second opening in the attachment-detachment direction. The gas passage has a third end, a fourth end, and a second extending portion. The fourth end is formed with a fourth opening open to the atmosphere. The second extending portion extends from the fourth opening in the attachment-detachment direction. The second opening is at a position different from the fourth opening in the attachment-detachment direction.

  • Patent number: 9296225
    Abstract: Conventionally, it has not been possible to perform detailed printing control in accordance with a purpose, such as the improvement in density and the improvement in rubfastness, by taking into consideration a slight difference in the kind of paper (slight difference in the receptive layer), such as matte paper and glossy paper. An information processing apparatus for determining a printing medium having a receptive layer has a transmitted light information acquisition unit configured to acquire information on transmitted light by irradiating a printing medium on which a determination image is printed with light, and a surface characteristics determination unit configured to determine the surface characteristics of the printing medium on which the determination image is printed based on the information on transmitted light.

  • Patent number: 8531728
    Abstract: In generating image data for use in image formation by multi-pass recording, the position of a pixel of interest to be color separated relative to a recording region corresponding to the conveyance distance of a recording medium in one pass of the multi-pass recording is determined, a color separation table corresponding to the result of the determination is selected, and image data of the pixel of interest is color separated using the selected color separation table.

  • Patent number: 8379096
    Abstract: A plurality of image capturing data time-divisionally exposed by a capturing unit are input. By first and second processes, the plurality of image capturing data are divided into synthesis images or motion detection images, a motion amount of the capturing unit at the time of time-division exposure is detected from the image capturing data of the motion detection images, synthesized image capturing data is generated by synthesizing the synthesis images, and a vibration of the synthesized image capturing data is corrected based on a divide pattern indicating divisions and the motion amount. Corrected image capturing data obtained by the first and second processes are integrated to obtain image capturing data after image stabilization.

  • Publication number: 20090217197
    Abstract: A screen data processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes processing units, a generation unit configured to generate screen data on a processing unit basis in which an execution situation of each processing unit is drawn as a pattern, a display unit configured to display the screen data, a selection unit configured to allow selection as to which screen data generated on a processing unit basis is to be displayed on the display unit, a detection unit configured to detect an event occurring in each processing unit, and a determination unit configured to determine whether a processing unit corresponding to the screen data being displayed on the display unit matches a source processing unit of the event. When the determination unit determines a mismatch, the generation unit generates reduced screen data, and the display unit displays the reduced screen data combined with a portion of the screen data being displayed.
