Publication number: 20120099145Abstract: Managing commands that have not been executed is simplified while maintaining a state in which real-time commands can be executed. A printer 2 has a write control unit 21A that writes received commands to a receive buffer 31, a command execution unit 21B that executes the written commands, and a real-time command execution unit 21C that executes written commands that are real-time commands. The printer 2 enters a full-buffer mode as needed by the capacity of available storage space in the receive buffer 31, and when in the full-buffer mode the write control unit 21A cyclically writes commands to an auxiliary space created in the receive buffer, and the real-time command execution unit 21C reads and executes real-time commands from the auxiliary space.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2011Publication date: April 26, 2012Applicant: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Masayo Miyasaka, Hidetoshi Masuda

Patent number: 7683571Abstract: The invention provides an electronic device having a structure operable by the power of a battery pack. The electronic device includes: an authenticating section that authenticates a battery pack connected so as to supply power to determine whether the battery pack is a genuine product; a user interface; and a controller for controlling the electronic device. The controller tries authentication of the battery pack connected so as to supply power with the authentication section. When the battery pack has been authenticated, the discharging of the battery pack is enabled. When the battery pack has not been authenticated, the controller requests the user to input recognition whether the battery pack is a genuine product through the user interface, and changes the control for the battery pack between when the user inputs, in response to the request, the recognition that the battery pack is a genuine product and when the user inputs the recognition that the battery pack is not a genuine product.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2007Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Seiji Takamatsu, Hidetoshi Masuda

Patent number: 7259387Abstract: A nonvolatile memory element is formed by layering a lower electrode, a variable resistor and an upper electrode in sequence. The variable resistor is formed in which crystallinity and amorphism are mixed. Thus, the nonvolatile memory element is formed. More preferably, the variable resistor is a praseodymium-calcium-manganese oxide represented by a general formula, Pr1-xCaxMnO3, that has been formed at a film forming temperature from 350° C. to 500° C. Alternatively, the variable resistor is formed as a film at a film forming temperature that allows the variable resistor to become of an amorphous state or a state where crystallinity and amorphism are mixed and, then, is subjected to an annealing process at a temperature higher than the film forming temperature, in a temperature range where the variable resistor can maintain the state where crystallinity and amorphism are mixed.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2005Date of Patent: August 21, 2007Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hidechika Kawazoe, Yukio Tamai, Atsushi Shimaoka, Naoto Hagiwara, Hidetoshi Masuda, Toshimasa Suzuki

Patent number: 7240999Abstract: A liquid ejection apparatus has a liquid cartridge including a liquid container that has a flexible portion and stores liquid therein and a pressure chamber for applying pressure to the flexible portion of the liquid container; a liquid ejection head for ejecting liquid; a liquid flow path for guiding liquid from the liquid container to the liquid ejection head; a pressure pump for generating pressurized air; and an air flow path for guiding the pressurized air to the pressure chamber. The pressure pump includes an air chamber that communicates with the air flow path and a pressing member for pressing the air chamber so as to decrease the capacity of the air chamber. The capacity of the air chamber is decreased by the pressing member so as to increase the pressure in the air chamber to an upper limit value of a liquid supply pressure range where a prescribed liquid ejection characteristic is obtained, before a liquid ejecting operation is performed on an ejection target member.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2004Date of Patent: July 10, 2007Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Toshio Kumagai, Atsushi Kobayashi, Hidetoshi Masuda

Publication number: 20050195227Abstract: A liquid ejection head ejects liquid droplets toward a target medium while being moved in a first direction. A temperature detector detects temperature in a peripheral region of the liquid ejection head. A signal generator generates a first signal including first pulses operable to drive the liquid ejection head so as to eject the liquid droplets toward a unit region in the target medium at a first frequency, and a second signal including second pulses operable to drive the liquid ejection head so as to eject the liquid droplets toward the unit region at a second frequency which is lower than the first frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2004Publication date: September 8, 2005Applicant: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventors: Ryoichi Tanaka, Syuji Yonekubo, Gaku Ko, Hidetoshi Masuda, Tsuyoshi Tomii
