  • Publication number: 20170144455
    Abstract: A printer apparatus includes a print head, a platen roller having a rod, a spring configured to press the print head toward a direction of the platen roller, a frame having in a side face thereof a platen supporting groove for supporting the rod of the platen roller, and a detection switch, wherein the platen supporting groove includes a first edge situated toward a direction of the print head and a second edge situated opposite from the first edge, and has on the second edge a projection projecting toward inside the platen supporting groove, and wherein placing the rod of the platen roller at a predetermined position at a deeper side of the platen supporting groove than the projection causes the rod of the platen roller to press the detection switch due to an urging force that is applied to the platen roller by the spring through the print head.

  • Patent number: 9658174
    Abstract: Disclosed is an X-ray topography apparatus including an X-ray source, a multilayer film mirror, a slit, a two-dimensional X-ray detector, and a sample moving device that sequentially moves the sample to a plurality of step positions. The X-ray source is a minute focal spot. The multilayer film mirror forms monochromatic, collimated, high-intensity X-rays. The direction in which the multilayer film mirror collimates the X-rays coincides with the width direction of the slit. The step size by which the sample is moved is smaller than the width of the slit. The combination of the size of the minute focal spot, the width of the slit, and the intensity of the X-rays that exit out of the multilayer film mirror allows the contrast of an X-ray image produced when the detector receives X-rays for a predetermined period of 1 minute or shorter to be high enough for observation of the X-ray image.
