  • Patent number: 11536264
    Abstract: A communication control system for a number of gas compressors where one gas compressor is set as a master gas compressor that controls communication with N slave gas compressors. A cycle of communication with the N slave compressors in N communication sets is defined as a total compressor number communication cycle. In first to Nth communication sets, a first response request is transmitted to each of the first to Nth gas compressors. When a response is received from one of the gas compressors, the system determines that connection with the one gas compressor has succeeded. When no response is received, the system determines that connection has failed. In following communication cycles, a second response request is transmitted to the slave compressors with which communication has succeeded. The first response request is then transmitted to the slave compressors with which the communication connection has failed using a different timing sequence.

  • Patent number: 11514256
    Abstract: To obtain a printing inspection device that an optimum binarization threshold value in the printing inspection device that captures an image including a two-dimensional code printed by a general-purpose printer such as an ink jet printer, as a multi-level image, creates a binary image from the multi-level image with a predetermined binarization threshold value, and then performs decoding. Before a practical printing inspection is performed, a read test is performed. The read test is performed on one or more inspection samples by binarizing a multi-level image with brightness values for all gradations as a threshold value. A range (maximum value and minimum value) of readable brightness values is obtained, and then a median value between the minimum value and the maximum value is used as a binarization threshold value for a two-dimensional code image in a practical printing inspection.
