  • Patent number: 9352211
    Abstract: The present invention provides a glove comprises a main body adapted to receive a wearer's hand and a wrist cuff suspended over the main body. The main body further comprises a plurality of finger parts and a back hand part. The back hand part comprises a first protective panel hingedly connected at one end to the main body so that the first protective panel is suspend over the main body and slidably overlapped with a second protective panel. As the first protective panel slides over the second protective panel following the bending action of the fingers, a coordinated movement of the hand can be achieved. The second protective panel is also hingedly connected to the main body suspended over the main body and the wrist cuff, which allows for more coordinated rotating movement of the hand and the wrist following the bending action of the fingers.

  • Patent number: 8574479
    Abstract: In an imprinting method for transferring a pattern of a mold to a resin coated on a substrate by using an imprinting apparatus including a mold holding unit and a resin coating unit, the resin is coated in n shot areas arranged in a direction parallel to a direction in which the holding unit and the coating unit are arranged where n is an integer equal to or greater than 2, and the pattern is transferred to the shot areas on a one-by-one basis. A distance D between the coating unit and the mold and a width W of each shot area as seen in the direction parallel to the direction in which the holding unit and the coating unit are arranged are selected so as to satisfy a condition D>(3/2?1/n)W, and the coating and the transferring are performed repeatedly on the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20070263244
    Abstract: To meet a demand for changing a print medium size, particularly for increasing the size of print medium while at the same time satisfying the demand for higher printing speed. To that end, a plurality of printer units (116), which are spatially independent of each other (separate from each other) and also independent in the signal system and the ink system, are arranged in an appropriate layout to allow for a line-sequential printing. An information processing device (100) divides a generated image into a plurality of pieces of print data and transfers them to the plurality of printer units. A transport device (117) is installed to feed a large-sized print medium to an area where the plurality of printer units are arranged. The transport device transfers to each of the plurality of printer units a print timing signal corresponding to the position of each printer unit.
