  • Patent number: 11159533
    Abstract: A relay apparatus for relaying data in a network comprises: a storage configured to store therein a whitelist in which normal information is registered, the normal information indicating that said data is normal based on a destination and source thereof; a receiver configured to receive first data; a determining part configured to determine whether normal information for the first data received is registered in the whitelist or not; a rewriting part configured to rewrite, when the determining part determines that the whitelist does not have normal information of the first data, a remaining lifespan required to reach the destination of the first data to a prescribed lifespan required to reach a specific communication apparatus that exists between the nearest communication apparatus and the furthest communication apparatus from the relay apparatus in the network; and a transmitter configured to transmit the first data that has gone through a rewriting process.

  • Patent number: 10864717
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a tablet printing apparatus includes: a first rotator having an inner space; a duct configured to communicate with the inner space of the first rotator; a suction pipe configured to suck inside the duct; a second rotator arranged to face the first rotator across the duct; a conveyor belt wrapped around the first rotator and the second rotator; and a print head that performs printing on a tablet held on the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt includes a plurality of suction holes which communicate with the inner space of the first rotator and that of the duct, and are arranged in the rotation direction of the first rotator. The first rotator and the duct constitutes a suction chamber that applies a suction force to those of the suction holes of the conveyor belt located around the outer periphery of the first rotator and the duct.

  • Patent number: 10857818
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a tablet printing apparatus includes: a conveyor configured to convey tablets sequentially supplied thereto while sucking and holding the tablets by a suction chamber 14; a print head located to face the conveyor and configured to elect ink to the tablet conveyed by the conveyor to perform printing; and partition walls 144, 144 and suction paths 1421, 1422 that serve as a suction force adjusting device configured to reduce a suction force applied to the tablet at a conveyance position facing the print head to be lower than a suction force applied to the tablet at conveyance positions in front of and behind the conveyance position.

  • Patent number: 10806674
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a tablet printing apparatus includes a conveyor configured to convey tablets sequentially supplied while sucking and holding the tablets; a print head arranged to face the conveyor to perform printing on each of the tablets being conveyed; a detector arranged upstream of the print head to detect the posture of each of the tablets; and a print condition tester arranged downstream of the print head to check print condition on each of the tablets. Suction force applied to the tablets is reduced at least in an area from a detection position to a print condition check position than in other area.

  • Patent number: 10596811
    Abstract: [Problem to be Solved] To provide a tablet printing apparatus that can prevent drying of ink on the tip end of each nozzle of an inkjet printing mechanism, when a tablet does not arrive at a print position. [Solution] A tablet printing apparatus includes: conveyor mechanism 17 that conveys sequentially fed tablets by moving a conveyor belt 171; an inkjet printing mechanism that performs printing on a tablet in a print position; a suction mechanism 174a that holds a tablet on the surface of the conveyor belt in a predetermined area including at least the print position by sucking in air; determination means (S15) that determines whether a tablet arrives at the print position; and head retreat means (32, S21) that retreats an inkjet head 31 such that a tip end part of each of the nozzles of the inkjet printing mechanism goes away from the surface of the conveyor belt, when it is determined that a tablet does not arrive at the print position.

  • Publication number: 20140207929
    Abstract: A management apparatus includes user group information for managing the terminals by grouping terminals into groups each corresponding to service use conditions of terminals belonging to the group, and service information for associating each of the services provided by the service providing resources with paths for passing data when a terminal uses the service and a failure group which is affected by a failure when the failure occurs in one of the paths. When a failure occurs in one of the paths in the network, the management apparatus refers to the service information to identify a service for which the paths in the service information include the failed path as a failed service, identifies a failure group associated with the identified failed service, refers to the user group information to identify terminals belonging to the identified failure group as failure terminals, and reports the identified failure terminals.
