  • Publication number: 20220365068
    Abstract: An alcohol detector includes a detecting section, a display section, a communication section, and a controller. The detecting section performs alcohol concentration detection in exhaled breath blown by a subject. The communication section communicates with a prescribed external device performing image capture of the subject who blows the exhaled breath. The controller causes the detecting section to perform the alcohol concentration detection and transmits a detection result of the alcohol concentration detection to the prescribed external device via the communication section. The controller causes the display section to display an image including identification information indicating the alcohol detector during image capture of the subject in a time from a start of the alcohol concentration detection to transmission of the detection result.

  • Patent number: 10755498
    Abstract: [Problem] A drive recorder is provided that enables acquisition of a desired image captured when an impact with a strength meeting a predetermined condition has been measured. [Means of Solution] In the drive recorder 1, the travel recording module 51 records captured moving-imagery data 60 captured by a camera 18 installed on a vehicle. The acceleration sensor 19 measures the acceleration of the vehicle. When it is determined that the acceleration measured by the acceleration sensor 19 is within an abnormality range, the travel recording module 51 notifies the server 4 at a predetermined time point of the time point of dangerous driving at which the acceleration within the abnormality range was measured.

  • Patent number: 8939878
    Abstract: Plural conveying paths including guide plates are arranged on both sides of a sheet in its thickness direction, being linked from an upstream side to a downstream side in a conveying direction of the sheet. A stopper is arranged in at least one of the conveying paths to make contact with a leading edge of the sheet conveyed through the conveying paths thereby stopping the sheet and forming a bending portion at the sheet. A pair of folding rollers is arranged between the conveying paths to nip the bending portion of the sheet to form a folding line at the sheet. An adjusting member is provided on the guide plates to adjust a space between the guide plates.

  • Patent number: 8909126
    Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus includes a folding unit that folds a sheet, a sheet storing unit that stores the sheet folded by the folding unit, a post-processing unit that performs a non-fold process on the sheet transported from the folding unit, a path select unit that switches the sheet destination to the sheet storing unit or the post-processing unit, and a control unit that detects whether there is a fold process command and/or a non-fold process command, and controls the path select unit according to the detecting result. The control unit controls the path select unit to switch the sheet destination to the post-processing unit when there is a non-fold process command, regardless of a fold process command.

  • Patent number: 8740212
    Abstract: A sheet folding device includes a transport unit that transports a sheet; an abutting unit that abuts an end of the sheet being transported to form a bent portion at the sheet; a folding unit that nips the bent portion of the sheet by a pair of folding rollers to form a fold line in the sheet; a guide member that partially covers the folding roller and guides the sheet; and a position adjustment unit that adjusts a position of the guide member. An exposure amount of the folding roller with respect to the sheet can be varied by adjusting the position of the guide member through the position adjustment unit.

  • Publication number: 20120178607
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, there is provided a paper folding device that folds paper by nipping the paper between a pair of folding rollers each of which rollers is rotatably supported. The paper folding device includes: a shaft-to-shaft distance adjusting unit that adjusts a shaft-to-shaft distance between the two folding rollers so that a predetermined pressure is applied to the paper nipped between the pair of folding rollers; and a fixing unit that fixes the pair of folding rollers at a position where the folding rollers are at the shaft-to-shaft distance adjusted by the shaft-to-shaft distance adjusting unit.

  • Patent number: 5469189
    Abstract: A display apparatus automatically rounds corners of a rectangular area frame for display thereof, the rectangular area frame including that of a window or that of a graph and the like displayed within the window. The rounding is effected by automatically calculating and displaying circular arcs (ellipstic arcs) of corners based on the inputted corner coordinates of the rectangular area frame, or by not displaying one or several dots of each corner. In the case where multi-windows are displayed in an overlap manner or a plurality of rectangular area frames are displayed within a window, the corners are not displayed stiffly and emphasized unnecessarily, thus providing a visually soft and natural display image, improving the quality of displayed images, and providing an improved handy method for use by an operator.
