  • Patent number: 9597915
    Abstract: Bookbinding apparatus adhesive applicator accurately, briefly controls adhesive temperature to a set value by selecting, in accordance with adhesive initial temperature, one of a plurality of temperature-controller heating modes defining different supply powers and supply durations for supplying power to an adhesive-container heater to control its heating temperature. A sensor detects the temperature of the adhesive in the container at applicator start-up, or on restarting a post-standby applicator. In accordance with the detected temperature, one of the heating modes is selected to heat the adhesive. The applicator warm-up time is thus set in response to the state of the adhesive: If solidified, the adhesive is heated and melted in a maximum supply-power, supply-duration mode; if low-temperature liquefied, it is heated and melted in a second-magnitude supply-power, supply-duration mode; and if the adhesive temperature is high, it is heated and melted in a minimal supply-power, supply-duration mode.

  • Patent number: 9542519
    Abstract: A computer sets a first timing condition for plural registers included in first design information of a semiconductor integrated circuit, and executes first logic synthesis to generate second design information. The computer sets, for the registers, a second timing condition having a smaller timing margin than the first timing condition, and executes second logic synthesis to generate third design information. The computer calculates an area change rate caused by a difference between the timing conditions, on the basis of the second and third design information with respect to each logic cone including a register at its end point, and categorizes the registers into a first group and a second group having smaller change rates than the first group, according to the change rate. The computer executes third logic synthesis with the second timing condition set for the first group and the first timing condition set for the second group.

  • Patent number: 9375951
    Abstract: An inkjet recording device is provided. Two rails are each provided on left and right sides of a printer head, and three LED modules are provided on inner rows In and one LED module is provided on outer rows of the rails. These LED modules can move on the rails in a sub scanning direction. At a position, the LED modules become adjacent in a main scanning direction, whereby a total quantity of light becomes “200”. At other positions, the quantity of light is “100”. In this invention, providing the LED modules movably on the outer rows enables to configure a curing section at an arbitrary position, so that a required quantity of light can be obtained, whereby the printing speed does is not decreased; and further, the number of the LED modules can be suppressed, and cost for an ultraviolet lamps of a carriage can be reduced.
