Abstract: A voltage control method for a secondary battery includes: calculating a voltage difference between a first voltage value as an initial voltage of the secondary battery and a second voltage value as a voltage of the secondary battery after being charged by constant-current charging during a predetermined time period; calculating an internal resistance of the secondary battery based on the voltage difference and a value of constant current applied in the constant-current charging; calculating an additional voltage based on the internal resistance and a value of constant current applied during voltage control, and calculating a target voltage by adding the additional voltage to a predetermined required voltage; controlling the voltage by charging the secondary battery with constant current until the target voltage is reached; and determining that the secondary battery is defective when the target voltage is not reached within a predetermined permissible time period while the voltage is controlled.

Abstract: Before embossing raised letters on a target tape which is subjected to embossing of raised letters, written letters are printed based on inputted character information, and also an upside-and-downside identifying information for identifying the upside and the downside of the target tape as seen in the widthwise direction thereof is printed on the target tape. In the emboss-processing section, the upside and the downside of the target tape is detected based on the identifying information. If the target tape is found to have been inserted upside down, the raised letters are embossed in a state of turning the embossing data by 180 degrees.

Abstract: There is provided a method of controlling a tape processing apparatus where braille is embossed at one side in the width direction of a tape with an embossing unit arranged at the one side. The method includes: an embossing-position defining step of defining a braille embossing position in the width direction of the tape; an embossing-data generating step of generating embossing data based on input information and the embossing position; and a braille embossing step of embossing braille on the tape based on the generated embossing data. In the embossing-data generating step, when the embossing position is arranged at one side in the width direction on the same side as the embossing unit, the embossing data is generated for forward embossing. While, when the embossing position is arranged at the other side in the width direction opposite to the embossing unit, the embossing data is generated for reverse embossing.

Abstract: For enabling many peoples to make an input operation, for producing and recognizing the braille characters and/or normal characters, easily, thereby contributing of spreading the braille labels, widely, on which the braille characters are described, not only forming convex portions on a braille label, corresponding to the contents of braille characters, which are taken into, but also printing out the print character lines thereon, which are taken into. Herein, a user can made selection of a layout for the braille character line and the print character lines, arbitrarily. If there is coincidence between the contents of braille characters and the print character lines, a person other than the visually handicapped person can also recognize the contents of braille characters. Further, an input operation can easily be made by converting the print character lines that are inputted into the contents of braille characters, corresponding thereto, automatically, to be inputted in the condition thereof.
