Patent number: 10423370Abstract: To appropriately report that print data based on image data cannot be generated normally, a print data generating device has a server control unit including an image data generator and a print data generating unit. The image data generator acquires print requests, and generates and outputs image data based on the acquired print request. The print data generating unit acquires the image data output by the image data generating unit, generates and outputs print data based on the image data if print data can be generated normally based on the acquired image data, and if print data based on the acquired image data cannot be generated normally for a specific reason, generates and outputs print instructions data instructing printing information indicating the specific reason.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2016Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Yusuke Yamada, Katsuhiko Sugiyama

Patent number: 10143601Abstract: [Problem] To provide a disposable diaper which is comfortable to wear. [Solution] This disposable diaper comprises a top sheet (1), a back sheet (2), an absorber (3) and a stretchable sheet (4). The stretchable sheet (4) is composed by having a base material sheet (41) sandwich multiple elastic stretchable members (42) disposed therein in an extended state, said multiple elastic stretchable members (42) being disposed along the width direction of the disposable diaper and spaced apart at intervals in the longitudinal direction. When viewed in the width direction, the stretchable sheet (4) has an overlapping portion (43) which includes a region that overlaps with a part of the absorber (3).

Publication number: 20170333265Abstract: An absorbent article is provided, which effectively utilizes the entire absorber by quickly diffusing a body fluid, and reduces discomfort in a wearer by suppressing unpleasant dampness and twisting after absorption of the body fluid. An absorbent article of the present invention includes a liquid permeable top surface sheet, a liquid impermeable back surface sheet, and an absorber disposed between the top surface sheet and the back surface sheet. A top surface sheet side of the absorbent article is provided with extending a plurality of compressed lines in each of which a plurality of recess portions formed by compressing the top surface sheet and the absorber are arranged. The plurality of compressed lines form intersection regions where the compressed lines intersect with each other. The compressed recess portions are not formed in the intersection regions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2015Publication date: November 23, 2017Inventors: Hiroyuki Hanao, Harue Shimizu, Hikari Makihara, Akira Sonoda, Katsuhiko Sugiyama, Ryosuke Ozaki
