Publication number: 20240398668Abstract: A medication assistance device includes a storing member, medicine dispenser, discharge/transport mechanism, pack information reader, pack information management system (PIMS), storing detector, and controller. The storing member stores medicine packs. The medicine dispenser arranges a medicine pack in a position. The discharge/transport mechanism discharges the medicine pack from the storing member to transport to a position of the medicine dispenser. The pack information reader in the discharge/transport mechanism reads medication associated information (MAI) attached to the storing member and/or medicine pack. The PIMS manages the MAI of the medicine pack. The storing detector detects attachment or detachment of the storing member to a device main body. The controller informs the PIMS and causes the pack information reader to read the MAI of the storing member based on a detection signal from the storing detector when the storing member is mounted in the device main body.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Applicant: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Youhei NIITSUMA, Hirotaka HAYASHI, Terumitsu AZUMA, Yu YAMAYA, Yoshihide SUGIYAMA, Hiroshi FUJIE, Manabu YAMANAKA, Akira KOJIMA, Takato MOCHIZUKI

Patent number: 12036795Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a print head, a recovery unit, a type obtaining unit, a threshold obtaining unit, and a calculation unit. The print head forms an image by applying a recording material to a recording medium. The recovery unit performs a recovery operation for recovering an ejection state of the print head. The type obtaining unit obtains a type of the recording medium on which the image is to be recorded. The threshold obtaining unit obtains a threshold for performing the recovery operation corresponding to the obtained type of the recording medium. The calculation unit calculates a count-up value by adding, in response to recording on the recording medium, an addition value set for each of types of recording media. The recovery operation is performed in a case where the count-up value calculated by the calculation unit exceeds the threshold obtained by the threshold obtaining unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2022Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masashi Hayashi, Atsushi Arai, Takaaki Ishida, Akira Kida, Masakazu Tsukuda, Masaaki Matsuura, Koki Kudo
