  • Publication number: 20160118007
    Abstract: A semiconductor circuit includes a first circuit block, a second circuit block, and power wiring lines that supply a plurality of reference potentials. The first circuit block and the second circuit block are connected to a common power wiring line that is one of the power wiring lines and supplies a common reference potential. A width of the common power wiring line in the first circuit block is smaller than a width of the common power wiring line in the second circuit block.

  • Patent number: 9254677
    Abstract: Dots with metallic ink are formed in an arrangement in which an average of distances between dots with the metallic dots is shorter than an average of distances between dots with color ink. The “distance between dots with the color ink” indicates a distance from a color dot to be focused to one color dot at the closest position thereto. The same holds true for the metallic ink.

  • Patent number: 9024860
    Abstract: A scanner includes a plurality of unit circuits configured with transistors of a same conductivity type. In the scanner, the unit circuit constituting the scanner includes an output transistor that selectively outputs, to an output terminal of the unit circuit, a signal given from an outside. A gate electrode of the output transistor is connected to one end of a voltage limiting transistor, and a gate electrode of the voltage limiting transistor is supplied with a first power supply potential.

  • Publication number: 20150077449
    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a first processing section configured to convert input values that are specified for each pixel in image data into amounts of ink for inks of each color, and a second processing section configured to generate half tone data from the image data that is converted. The second processing section is further configured to convert an amount of ink for a first ink, which is in a range of a first amount of ink where it is easy for density unevenness to be generated, into an amount of ink for the first ink and an amount of ink for a second ink that is the same color as the first ink and has a high brightness compared to the first ink. An increase in the amount of the first ink that is set in the range of the first amount of ink is large.
