  • Publication number: 20180356965
    Abstract: A controller identifies, when a contact position of a finger is detected by a detector, an object on a screen of a display device designated by the contact made on an input surface, on the basis of the contact position detected by the detector. When the object on the screen is identified, the control unit selects the object as an object to be moved, according to pressing force detected by the detector. When the contact position detected by the detector moves, with the object on the screen kept selected as the object to be moved, the controller moves such object to be moved on the screen, according to the movement of the contact position.

  • Patent number: 7978212
    Abstract: Disclosed is a disk label printer that includes a slot-in type optical disk driving mechanism and a printing mechanism integrated with each other, has a small size, and smoothly transfers optical disks. The disclosed disk label printer includes: a case that has a slot through which an optical disk is inserted or ejected formed therein; an optical disk driving mechanism that is provided in the case and writes and/or reads signals to and/or from the optical disk mounted to a disk mounting portion; and a printing mechanism that is provided in the case and includes a thermal head which prints a desired image on a label surface of the optical disk. The printing mechanism is provided on a transfer path of the optical disk toward the optical disk driving mechanism between the slot and the optical disk driving mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20090013885
    Abstract: Disclosed is a disk label printer that includes a slot-in type optical disk driving mechanism and a printing mechanism integrated with each other, has a small size, and prints a high-quality image on the label surface of an optical disk. The disclosed disk label printer includes: a case that has a slot through which an optical disk is inserted or ejected formed therein; an optical disk driving mechanism that is provided in the case and writes and/or reads signals to and/or from the optical disk mounted to a disk mounting portion; and a printing mechanism that is provided in the case and includes a thermal head printing a desired image on a label surface of the optical disk. The printing mechanism is provided on a transfer path of the optical disk toward the optical disk driving mechanism between the slot an optical disk driving mechanism.

  • Patent number: 5243170
    Abstract: An improved method is proposed for providing a coating film of diamond on the surface of, for example, a cutting tool as the substrate by the plasma jet deposition method, in which the deposited diamond film has, different from the cubic crystalline structure formed under conventional conditions, a predominantly hexagonal crystalline structure so as to greatly enhance the advantages obtained by the diamond coating of the tool in respect of the hardness and smoothness of the coated surface. The improvement comprises: using hydrogen alone as the plasma-generating gas; controlling the pressure of the plasma atmosphere not to exceed 300 Torr; keeping the substrate surface at a temperature of 800.degree.-1200.degree. C.; and making a temperature gradient of at least 13,000.degree. C./cm within the boundary layer on the substrate surface.
