    Patent number: 7751191
    Abstract: A cooling system that promotes cooling of a device including a heat source therein is provided, the cooling system includes: a cooling unit that absorbs, upstream from the heat source, heat from intake air that the device takes in from an outside to cool the heat source and dissipates the heat to an outside of a flow path of the intake air; and a fluid control unit that lets fluid flow toward the cooling unit so as to discharge the heat absorbed by the cooling unit from the intake air to an outside of the cooling unit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 15, 2008
    Date of Patent: July 6, 2010

  • Apparatus and method for reusing printed media for printing information
    Patent number: 6891640
    Abstract: In order to reuse print sheets, a region on a printed sheet where old information is printed is detected and a region corresponding to the region where the old information is printed is identified as an erasing region. A pattern corresponding to the erasing region is printed on the erasing region with erasing ink or toner, which has a different color from a color of printing ink or toner, whereby the printed old information is erased. Then, new information is printed on the print sheet, from which the old information has been erased, by use of the printing ink or toner.
