  • Publication number: 20170150861
    Abstract: An electric vacuum cleaner in which a dust container inside an autonomous robotic vacuum cleaning unit can be fluidically connected to a station using propulsive force of the cleaning unit moving to a dust discharge position. The cleaning unit includes a body case, and a primary dust container including: a container body accumulating dust collected by the cleaning unit; a disposal port discharging dust from inside the container body; and a disposal lid opening and closing the disposal port. The station includes a dust transfer pipe connected to the disposal port of the primary dust container; a lever hooked by the disposal lid while the cleaning unit is homing, opening the disposal lid and connecting the disposal port and the dust transfer pipe; and a secondary dust container in which dust discharged from the primary dust container through the dust transfer pipe is accumulated.

  • Patent number: 9658808
    Abstract: A print job is submitted from a client terminal 100 to two print servers 200?1, 200?2, a print server taking main charge 200?1 instructs a printer 300 to print one page at a time in sequence, and status information indicating the printing state is shared by the two print servers 200?1, 200?2. If a failure occurs in the print server taking main charge 200?1, then, on the basis of the status information shared by the two print servers 200?1, 200?2, a print server taking sub charge 200?2 instructs the printer 300 to print in accordance with the submitted print job from the unprinted page. This makes it possible to immediately continue the print from the page indicated to be completely printed when the failure occurred.

  • Publication number: 20170049289
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes: a body case having an outer circumferential surface formed along either a circular arc or a polygon; a drive wheel allowing travel of the body case on a cleaning target surface; a side brush provided to the body case to be movable in a certain direction. The side brush: projects from the outer circumferential surface of the body case by an amount that changes in response to movement; includes a brush body movable to retreat toward the outer circumferential surface of the body case in response to external force acting in a direction crossing the certain direction; and includes a cleaning unit rotatably provided to the brush body. The cleaning unit rotates to clean the cleaning target surface. The side brush projecting from an outer circumferential surface of a body case can retreat readily and reliably when the side brush contacts an obstacle.

  • Publication number: 20160074115
    Abstract: A microwave providing device is provided, which is capable of effectively extending the coagulation range of a treatment target tissue by setting the conditions for intermittently providing microwaves. An output controller controls a microwave generator based on a first efficiency of dielectric heating by microwaves with respect to a cumulative radiation period of microwaves radiated intermittently to a treatment target tissue S and a second efficiency of dielectric heating by microwaves with respect to a cumulative radiation period of microwaves radiated continuously to the treatment target tissue so that microwaves are intermittently radiated at least after a reference cumulative radiation period that is set in advance as a cumulative radiation period at which the first efficiency becomes larger than the second efficiency.
