  • Patent number: 10754275
    Abstract: A toner container includes a container body, an opening, a cover, a toner discharge port, a shutter, a cylindrical structure, protrusions, and an identifier. The shutter is attached to the cover and includes a main shutter covering the toner discharge port. The main shutter moves between a closed position to close the toner discharge port and an open position to open the toner discharge port. The protrusions are on both sides of the cover and protrude in a direction orthogonal to a toner container mounting direction. The identifier is on the cover to indicate a toner color. The cylindrical structure's leading end is downstream of leading ends of the protrusions in the mounting direction. The main shutter's leading end is downstream of the protrusions' leading ends in the mounting direction when the main shutter is in the closed position. The protrusions are downstream of the identifier in the mounting direction.

  • Publication number: 20200242344
    Abstract: From distance measurement data obtained by a distance measurement, according to a moving body approximate ellipses and quadratic functions along an xy-axis and yx-axis are calculated. An approximate ellipse close to the shoulder width and thickness of a user is selected, and quadratic functions having the smallest approximation error to the distance measurement data are selected. Thus, the position and orientation of the user are estimated from the selected approximate curves. That is, if an approximate curve based on one shape or coordinate system does not match the user, the position and orientation of the user are estimated from an approximate curve based on another shape or coordinate system. Therefore, even if the positional relation between the distance measurement sensor and user changes variously, the position and orientation of the user can be detected.

  • Publication number: 20200222812
    Abstract: A language information retention section retains working language information for specifying a user-selected working language in an information processing apparatus. A download processing section downloads application software into an auxiliary storage apparatus. The download processing section acquires a data region in the auxiliary storage apparatus as needed for an application body and language-dependent files for a working language before the start of an application software download, and then executes the application software download. In a case where the working language used by an application is changed, the download processing section confirms whether or not a data region for language-dependent files for the changed working language can be acquired in the auxiliary storage apparatus 2.
