  • Patent number: 11628677
    Abstract: In sensor determination processing, each of a transmission-type optical sensor and a reflection-type optical sensor detects a label position, and first transport for transporting the printing medium is executed so that a first label position, which is detected by a first sensor succeeding in detecting the label position first, arrives at a printing position. When the first transport is terminated before a second sensor being another sensor succeeds in detecting a label position during the first transport, a first sensor is determined as a sensor to be used for detecting a label position. When the second sensor succeeds in detecting a label position during the first transport, a sensor succeeding in detecting the first label position or a second label position detected by the second sensor, which is closer to the printing position, is determined as the sensor to be used for detecting a label position.

  • Patent number: 11632293
    Abstract: In each node system, a request execution unit executes, for each state update request, state update processing of updating an object representing a state of a target specified in the request, and returns a response indicative of completion of the request without executing tamper-evidence processing. The tamper-evidence execution unit executes tamper-evidence processing of detecting whether one or more common completion requests of one or a plurality of update completion requests are tampered with by comparing updated objects of two or more node systems or summaries thereof. The update completion request is a state update request for which the execution of the state update processing has been completed. The common completion request is an update completion request that is common among two or more node systems of the plurality of node systems.

  • Patent number: 11631581
    Abstract: A technique for obtaining good film quality in forming a silicon-oxide-containing insulating film as a coating film on a substrate. A coating liquid containing polysilazane is applied to a wafer, a solvent in the coating liquid is volatilized, and then the coating film is irradiated with ultraviolet rays under a nitrogen atmosphere before performing a curing process. Thus, dangling bonds are likely to be formed at hydrolyzed portions in polysilazane. Since dangling bonds are formed in advance at portions in silicon to be hydrolyzed, productivity of hydroxyl groups is enhanced. That is, since an energy required for hydrolysis is reduced, the number of the portions remaining without being hydrolyzed is reduced even when the curing process is performed at a low temperature. Therefore, dehydration synthesis occurs efficiently, which increases a crosslinking rate and makes it possible to form a dense (good film quality) insulating film.
