  • Patent number: 11165928
    Abstract: A printing device has a print unit for printing on roll paper; a wireless communication unit for communicating wirelessly with a paired control device; and a controller for receiving print data by wireless communication from the control device, and controlling the print unit based on the received print data. When changing from a pairing-disabled mode to a pairing-enabled mode, the controller controls the print unit to print pairing-related information on roll paper, does not process pairing in the pairing-disabled mode, and processes pairing when a pairing request is received in the pairing-enabled mode.

  • Publication number: 20210138576
    Abstract: A friction stir welding apparatus and method maintains a depth of a welded part constant without varying a depth-direction position of a welding tool leading end part relative to welded members. A control device controls an operation of the friction stir welding apparatus, and a holder unit is connected to a swing mechanism unit via a revolving mechanism section, and a welding tool is held to the holder unit. The control device has a first welding mode in which friction stir welding is performed on the basis of a welding condition signal for deciding a welding condition of the welding tool, a swing control signal for controlling the swing mechanism unit, a first hold position decision signal, and a second welding mode in which friction stir welding is performed on the basis of the welding condition signal, the swing control signal, and a second hold position decision signal.

  • Patent number: 10139402
    Abstract: A method for separating a vesicle having a lipid bilayer membrane from a biological sample, includes forming a complex of a vesicle and a solid phase carrier by bringing the biological sample containing the vesicle having the lipid bilayer membrane into contact with the solid phase carrier to which a ligand for recognizing a surface antigen present on a surface of the vesicle is bound. The complex is washed. The forming is performed in the presence of a nonionic surfactant which does not comprise an aromatic group to reduce an aggregation of the complex.
