  • Patent number: 11987062
    Abstract: A method for correcting an image includes: moving first and second ink jet heads and a medium relative to each other, each of the first and second ink jet heads including nozzles and drive elements corresponding to the nozzles respectively; discharging ink droplets from the nozzles of the first and second ink jet heads, by connecting each of the drive elements to one of power supply circuits and by applying voltage to each of the drive elements, the power supply circuits having different output voltage values each other; determining a density difference between a first image region and a second image region; and switching the voltage to be applied to first drive elements to a first voltage by switching the power supply circuits to be connected to the first drive elements based on the density difference.

  • Publication number: 20240077493
    Abstract: Provided is a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute the steps including a step of subjecting a sample containing microorganisms to mass spectrometry to obtain a mass spectrum, a step of reading a mass-to-charge ratio m/z of a peak derived from a marker protein from the mass spectrum, and an identification step of identifying which bacteria of serovar of Salmonella genus bacteria the microorganisms contained in the sample contain, based on the mass-to-charge ratio m/z, wherein at least one of two types of ribosomal proteins S8 and Peptidylpropyl isomerase is used as the marker protein.

  • Patent number: 11920255
    Abstract: There are provided a composite plated product wherein a composite plating film of a composite material containing carbon particles in a silver layer is formed on a base material and wherein the amount of the carbon particles dropped out of the composite plating film is small, and a method for producing the same. After a composite plating film of a composite material containing carbon particles in a silver layer is formed on a base material (of preferably copper or a copper alloy) by electroplating using a silver-plating solution to which the carbon particles are added, a treatment for removing part of the carbon particles on the surface thereof is carried out.

  • Publication number: 20060221964
    Abstract: A data relay apparatus has a plurality of conversion process parts installed therein and the plurality of conversion process parts are prepared for respective types of data items transmitted from a first data processing apparatus used as a data transmission source. The conversion process parts are software parts which convert data items of respective types. The data relay apparatus includes a data reception processing section which receives data transmitted from the first data processing apparatus, a data conversion processing section which determines a type of data received, retrieves one of the conversion process parts which is prepared for the data and starts the conversion process parts, and a data transmission processing section which transmits data converted by the conversion process part to a second data processing apparatus.
