Abstract: A method of reducing a curl of a recording medium caused by ejection of a liquid by a droplet ejecting apparatus to the medium including steps of calculating an ejected-liquid amount ejected onto an evaluation region defined on the medium and an ejected-liquid associated quantity which is an ejected-liquid-droplet number ejected to the evaluation region or an ejected-area associated quantity which is an area of unit regions to which the liquid is ejected; and a ratio of the area of the unit regions to an area of the evaluation region, and estimating a curl degree of the medium caused by ejection of the liquid thereto or a correction degree necessary for restraining the curl, based on a position of the evaluation region; and the calculated ejected-liquid amount and ejected-liquid associated quantity.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a recorder, a conveyer, a holder, a stopper, an urging member, a light source, and a light controller. The recorder records an image on a recording medium at a recording position. The conveyer conveys a recording medium through the recording position and outputs the recording medium along an output direction. The holder holds a recording medium output by the conveyer. The stopper is disposed downstream of the holder along the output direction and contacts an end of a recording medium when the recording medium is output and the stopper is in a first position. The stopper moves between the first position and a second position, in which an end of the stopper is farther to the holder. The urging member urges the stopper to move to the first position from the second position. The light controller controls the light source to illuminate the stopper.

Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes a record head having an ejection surface and a conveyance mechanism having a conveyance surface which passes through a position facing the ejection surface.

Abstract: In the heat treatment (quenching treatment, tempering treatment, etc.) of long metallic material, such as, large diameter steel pipe or the like, in order to stabilize the speed of travel of the material through a heat treating zone, i.e., a zone including a heating unit, such as, an induction heating coil or gas burning type heating furnace and a following cooling unit of the type utilizing either one or both of air blast and water cooling, the material is gripped by two cars which are arranged respectively at the entry and delivery ends of the zone and the cars are moved, while supporting the material by a plurality of free rotatable rollers, so as to move the material at a desired speed. In this case, one of the cars is driven and the other car applies a braking force, thus moving the material at the desired speed through the zone.
