Patent number: 8593498Abstract: A hybrid processing device having printheads that records on a check conveyed through a medium conveyance path includes a first sensor that detects insertion of a check from the recording medium entrance of the medium conveyance path, a second sensor that detects discharge of the check from the recording medium exit of the medium conveyance path, and a third sensor that detects presence of a check between the first and second sensors. It is determined that the recording medium has been removed from the conveyance path, when the recording medium detectors change from a first state, in which at least one of the recording medium detectors detects that the recording medium is present, to a second state, in which none of the recording medium detectors detect that the recording medium is present.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2011Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Hiroki Abe, Masahiro Takei, Hideki Nishimura

Publication number: 20130196881Abstract: A sugar chain array containing a sugar chain immobilized thereon for detecting binding between an analyte and a sugar chain, and a sugar chain array having the sugar chain immobilized thereon that is capable of inhibiting non-specific adsorption and binding of an analyte without having to coat the array with an adsorption inhibitor. A specific sugar chain is immobilized on the array, and is useful for detecting binding between the sugar chain and an analyte, such as a pathogen of an infectious disease or an excretion thereof. In addition, in the array, when a base material is coated with a polymeric compound having a unit having a primary amino group, a unit for maintaining hydrophilicity, and a unit having a hydrophobic group, the sugar chain is immobilized efficiently and non-specific adsorption and binding of the analyte can be effectively inhibited.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2011Publication date: August 1, 2013Applicants: National University Corporation Hokkaido University, Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shin-Ichiro Nishimura, Takahiko Matsushita, Hideyuki Shimaoka, Wataru Takada, Kohta Igarashi, Midori Abe, Hiroki Abe, Masao Fukushima

Patent number: 8255076Abstract: To provide a CAM system and method which can facilitate change of a machining posture and a machining procedure, and can aid an operation of forming an optimum machining path. Machining features capable of being integrated into one are obtained and a machining procedure for the integrated machining feature is obtained. Based on the machining procedure, design data is converted to manufacturing data. The manufacturing data capable of machining the integrated machining feature together can be therefore obtained in contrast with the case of separately machining the individual machining features which constitute the integrated machining feature.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2007Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Masahito Nasu, Takashi Inoue, Hiroki Abe

Publication number: 20100093424Abstract: A slot machine includes a display on which symbols are rearranged in partitioned regions arranged in a matrix pattern including a plurality of columns and rows. The display includes a plurality of display windows corresponding to the respective columns for each unit game. In each of the display windows, for each slot game, executed is video display in which a symbol array having a plurality of symbols arranged therein is scrolled in an arrangement direction of the symbols. By this video display, the symbols arranged in the partitioned regions are rearranged in the slot game. When a feature game trigger is established during the slot game, an additional “WILD” symbol is inserted into the symbol array. The symbols in each symbol array have background images, respectively. The background images of a predetermined number of consecutive symbols immediately upstream of the “WILD” symbol are displayed in a predetermined color, and the background images of the other symbols are displayed in a normal color.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2009Publication date: April 15, 2010Applicant: Aruze Gaming America, Inc.Inventors: Ryohei KONO, Yoshinari Mitani, Toshiaki Ohkubo, Shigeki Hayashi, Hiroki Abe, Takanori Sakata
