Patent number: 10864717Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: SHIBAURA MECHATRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Shinichi Ogimoto, Ryo Ikuta, Yutaka Okabe, Hitoshi Aoyagi, Hikaru Hoshino, Azusa Hirano, Toru Kuribayashi, Yasutsugu Tsuruoka, Junpei Tanaka

Patent number: 10596811Abstract: [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.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2016Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: SHIBAURA MECHATRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Ryo Ikuta, Hitoshi Aoyagi, Azusa Hirano, Hikaru Hoshino

Publication number: 20140207929Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2013Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: ALAXALA Networks CorporationInventors: Hikaru HOSHINO, Hiroyasu KIMURA
