Abstract: An object is to suppress variation in dot diameter. As a solution, an irradiation control unit (50) performs control for selecting an irradiating element (E2) having a distance from a nozzle (n) to eject irradiation target ink, smaller than that of an irradiating element (E3) which has the maximum distance difference with respect to the distance between the nozzle (n) and an irradiating element (E1) selected as an irradiating element for ink ejected from the nozzle (n) on an outward way, as an irradiating element which is selected on a homeward way.

Abstract: A printed material having excellent smoothness is provided even when a resin ink is used. An ink jet printing method uses an ink jet printing apparatus 1 including a head 5, and a printing platen 2 for heating a medium 100 from a back side of a surface of the medium 100, wherein the ink contains a solvent, a colorant and a resin, in which the resin is emulsionized or suspended. The ink jet printing method includes a drying step in which the ink is dried by the printing platen 2 after the ink is landed onto the medium 100.

Abstract: In order to provide a firewall that is capable of preventing flame passage through a through-hole without any sealant in a connecting part of a component in which a fastener through-hole is formed, a firewall 50 is provided which can prevent a flame from leaking out of the connecting part which connects a first member 51 to a second member 55, particularly through the fastener through-hole TH defined therein. In the firewall 50, the connecting part is a part of a fire-protection chamber 52. As sealing pieces 51d and 51e which also constitute a part of the fire-protection chamber 52 are in contact with each other, the flame is unable to enter into a closed space CA. Thus, the flame would not reach the connecting part, thereby preventing the flame from leaking out of the firewall 50 to the outside of a nacelle 23.

Abstract: The problem addressed by the present invention lies in obtaining printed material having higher brightness using an ultraviolet-curing metallic ink. In order to solve this problem, the printing method includes: an ink ejection process, in which an ultraviolet curing type metallic ink including metal particles is ejected on a recording medium, and the recording medium is swelled by the metallic ink, soaked with the metallic ink, or dissolved by the metallic ink; a leveling process, in which the metallic ink on the recording medium is leveled; a temporary curing process, in which ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the metallic ink on the recording medium to cure in such a degree that the metallic ink is not completely cured; and a main curing process, in which ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the metallic ink on the recording medium for curing after the temporary curing process.

Abstract: There is provided a navigation device including a position information acquisition section which acquires a current position, a final destination setting section which sets a final destination, a stop-off genre setting section which sets a genre of a facility to be stopped at, a stop-off point selection section which selects a stop-off point based on a route to the final destination, and a route guidance section which performs notification of a route to the stop-off point at a branch point between the route to the final destination and the route to the stop-off point, shows a route to the stop-off point when entering the route to the stop-off point from the branch point, and switches a guidance destination to the final destination when arriving at the stop-off point.

Abstract: A virtual multi-processor system includes a plurality of logic processors. Moreover, the virtual multi-processor system includes a logic processor controller configured to allocate a time slice to each of the logic processors to control the logic processors so that the logic processors sequentially run in a time-sharing manner. When a request for interrupt processing occurs, an external interrupt controller performs control so that a logic processor that has a time slice within which the interrupt processing is possible and that runs next executes the interrupt processing.
