  • Patent number: 11104164
    Abstract: There are provided an inkjet printing apparatus capable of maintaining posture of a holder regardless of presence or absence of an item which the holder supports and a method for controlling the inkjet printing apparatus. For this purpose, based on a change value Dsi of a rotary encoder 110 while driving a carriage motor 92 with driving force capable of maintaining posture of a head holder 90 which does not support a print head 8, the presence or absence of the print head 8 which the head holder 90 supports.

  • Patent number: 10659628
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention has been made to solve a problem that it is impossible to store externally transmitted job information if a printer apparatus is in a hard-off state and it is, therefore, necessary to store the job information in an external apparatus on the transmission side. In the embodiment, a wireless communication unit which can transmit/receive data even if no power is supplied receives job information from an external terminal, and stores it in a non-volatile memory. When an information processing apparatus is supplied with power, and enters a normal activation state, it executes the job stored in the non-volatile memory.

  • Patent number: 9639967
    Abstract: A circuit diagram supplying apparatus 10, for supplying a user with whole contents of an device system circuit diagram, then requests a server 30 for first-of-all transmission of part-connection-drawing overall circuit diagram data in which connection diagrams LSd are added to a part placement diagram included in the circuit diagram and having electrical component parts PSd arranged therein. Then, after displaying a part-connection-drawing overall circuit diagram based on the transmitted and received part-connection-drawing overall circuit diagram data, the circuit diagram supplying apparatus 10 requests the server 30 for sequential transmission of circuit-element-drawing divisional circuit diagram data (a)-(e).

  • Patent number: 9409388
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method of recording in which an ink ejection failure due to an excessive rise in the temperature of ejection ports is prevented while preventing a decrease in throughput. If ink can run out and the amount of ink ejected to one unit area is large, recording on the unit area is performed with an increased number of scans.

  • Patent number: 8133742
    Abstract: After dropping a sample onto an immunochromatographic test strip, a change of absorbance at a first position on the immunochromatographic test strip is sensed by detecting reflected light while illuminating a measurement light on the first position, a change of absorbance at a second position at a downstream side of the first position on the immunochromatographic test strip is sensed by detecting reflected light while illuminating measurement light on the second position, and a coloration degree is corrected based on an elapsed time from the change of absorbance at the first position to the change of absorbance at the second position.
