Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a liquid tank unit, a printing head, and a supply tube unit. The liquid tank unit includes first and second liquid tanks that store liquid and are arranged in parallel to each other. The printing head ejects liquid from the first and second tanks while moving in a main scanning direction. The supply tube unit includes a first supply tube connecting the first liquid tank to the printing head and includes a second supply tube coupled in parallel to the first supply tube and connecting the second liquid tank to the printing head. The second supply tube transitions from a connected tube state in which the second and first supply tubes are coupled in parallel to a single tube state by being separated from the first supply tube, passes across the first supply tube, and is connected to a connection port of the second liquid tank.

Abstract: A liquid storage container includes a storage portion configured to store liquid, an opening portion provided on a first surface and configured to allow injection of the liquid into the storage portion, a receiving portion consisting of the first surface and a wall disposed around the opening portion on the first surface, and a liquid holding unit configured to hold the liquid guided by a guiding portion from the liquid receiving portion to outside of the liquid receiving portion. The liquid holding unit includes a second surface different from the first surface of the liquid storage container and a flexible member.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a conveyance unit that conveys a recording medium in a first direction toward a recording head for ejecting a liquid, a tank including a containing chamber containing the liquid to be supplied to the recording head, and an injection port through which the liquid is injected into the containing chamber, the tank being disposed downstream of the conveyance unit in the first direction, a rotatable lever that holds a tank cap for closing the injection port, and a cover that rotates about a rotation shaft between an open position for exposing the lever and a closed position for covering the lever, the rotation shaft being disposed upstream of the conveyance unit in the first direction. The cover includes a sliding portion that is provided on a surface facing the lever and comes into contact with the lever while the cover is rotating toward the closed position.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a tank including a chamber configured to store liquid to be supplied to a recording head that ejects the liquid and a filling port from which the liquid is injected into the chamber, and an injection auxiliary member configured to assist injecting of the liquid into the chamber from the filling port, the injection auxiliary member including a first and a second flow channels each defined by a first or a second upper end portion that opens toward outside of the tank and a first or a second lower end portion that opens toward inside of the tank, wherein the second flow channel has an expansion portion arranged in a middle portion between the second upper end portion and the second lower end portion and configured to form a step to expand a cross-sectional area.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a support member configured to support a printhead that performs printing by discharging ink to a print medium, a connecting member including a connecting portion connected to an ink introduction portion of the printhead and through which the ink introduction portion communicates with an ink supply passage via the connecting portion, a rotation member configured to hold the connecting member such that a posture of the connecting member is changeable, and configured to be supported by the support member to be rotatable between a connecting position at which the ink introduction portion and the connecting portion are connected and a connection releasing position at which the ink introduction portion and the connecting portion are not connected, and a biasing portion configured to bias the connecting member to a first posture with respect to the rotation member.

Abstract: A mobile station has a subscriber identity card (IC card 18) and operates for periodical detection of the IC card (18). The IC card detection is effected at the timing when a transceiver receives a signal from the base station for detecting an incoming call, if the signal reception is effected within a specified time interval from the previous IC card detection.

Abstract: A mobile data terminal and a communication method therefor enabling CPU power consumption to be reduced by changing a setting of a CPU operation clock signal to a lower frequency than in a busy state and by maintaining a frequency of a memory access clock signal at the same level as in the busy state.

Abstract: A cellular phone terminal can eliminate extra process and save power to be consumed. The cellular phone terminal includes a low speed clock circuit generating a low speed clock to be used for generating a low speed clock used for generation of a preliminarily set intermittent reception cycle, and a high speed clock circuit generating a high speed clock required at least for receiving operation and stopped during periods other than a period of receiving operation, and performing at least checking of incoming call and measurement of a reception level according to said intermittent reception cycle. The terminal also includes an analog/digital converting circuit for converting a measured value of conditional variation in own terminal into the digital signal, an averaging circuit for averaging a result of measurement using said analog/digital converting circuit, and a control circuit for controlling said analog/digital converting circuit and said averaging circuit adapting to said intermittent reception cycle.

Abstract: A portable telephone includes a speech transmission circuit, data transmission circuit, earphone/microphone detection circuit, and control circuit. The speech transmission circuit performs speech communication through an antenna. The data transmission circuit performs data communication through the antenna simultaneously with speech communication by the speech transmission circuit. The earphone/microphone detection circuit detects an obstacle that causes a deterioration in transmission efficiency of the antenna. When one of a data communication request during speech communication and a speech communication request during data communication is generated, the control circuit 11 determines on the basis of a detection result obtained by the detection circuit whether to permit/reject the request. A data communication control method for the portable telephone is also disclosed.
