Abstract: A printer includes: a liquid discharger configured to discharge a liquid onto a print target; a carriage configured to move the liquid discharger in a main scanning direction; a holder configured to hold the print target and relatively move the print target in a sub-scanning direction orthogonal to the main scanning direction to cause the print target to face the liquid discharger; and multiple height detectors at different positions in the sub-scanning direction, the multiple height detectors configured to detect the print target on the holder.

Abstract: A waste liquid collection device includes: a tank housing that stores a liquid; a tubular member that causes the liquid to flow into the tank housing; a distance holding device disposed at an end portion of the tubular member suspended in an internal space of the tank housing; and a buoyancy imparting device having buoyancy for the liquid and causes the distance holding device to float on a liquid surface of the liquid, while keeping a certain distance between the end portion of the tubular member and the liquid surface using the buoyancy of the buoyancy imparting device. A liquid discharge apparatus includes the waste liquid collection device.

Abstract: A moving body configured to reduce a damage on a mounting state of an intercooler even when traveling or similar situation is provided. The moving body includes an intercooler bracket that has a pair of arms extending from a stack frame. At distal end sides of the respective arms, an intercooler is mounted to the respective arms. At base end sides of the respective arms, the intercooler bracket is secured to the stack frame. A connecting portion that connects the pair of arms is integrally formed with the pair of arms.

Abstract: A cloth heating apparatus includes a body, a receiver, a cloth holder, and a heater. The receiver is disposed in the body.

Abstract: A compressor, an intercooler, and a fuel cell stack are housed in a housing compartment. The compressor and the intercooler are connected with each other by upstream side piping, and the intercooler and the fuel cell stack are connected with each other by downstream side piping. The upstream side piping is formed from upstream side first and second pipe parts, and the downstream side piping is formed from downstream side first and second pipe parts. Movement of the compressor and fuel cell stack relative to the intercooler at the time of a heavy collision of the vehicle causes disconnection of the upstream side first and second pipe parts and disconnection of the downstream side first and second pipe parts, to thereby cause communication of the upstream side piping and the downstream side piping with an internal space of the housing compartment.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a plasma processor, a recording unit, and a heating unit. The plasma processor performs plasma processing on a processing target matter. The recording unit discharges ink and records dots onto the processing target matter on which the plasma processing has been performed. The heating unit heats an ink discharge region of the processing target matter.
