  • Publication number: 20230385245
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus which efficiently converts an image file. The image processing apparatus, based on an instruction, converts a first-format image file including image data and annotation information into a second-format image file having memory capacity of a predetermined area smaller than that of the first-format image file. The image processing apparatus records annotation information into the first-format image file, and generates, based on said annotation information, annotation information for the second-format image file having a size suit for the predetermined area, and before receiving the instruction being received, records the annotation information for the second-format image file into the first-format image file, and records the annotation information for the second-format image file recorded in the first-format image file, into the predetermined area in the second-format image file.

  • Publication number: 20210340709
    Abstract: [Problem] The problem that unevenness occurs in the foam layer and the insulating property deteriorates when lamination is carried out at high speed was clarified in a process for producing a sheet for a foam insulating paper container. Specifically, the problem addressed by the present invention is to provide a sheet for a foam insulating paper container that can be foamed without unevenness even when laminated at high speed. [Solution] The present inventors discovered that the problem addressed by the present invention can be solved by a method for producing a sheet for a foam insulating paper container in which a polyethylene resin is laminated on at least one side of a paper substrate, wherein the method for producing a sheet for a foam insulating paper container is characterized in that the lamination conditions are an air gap of 150 mm or greater and a take-off speed of 70 m/min or higher.

  • Patent number: 11011202
    Abstract: There is provided a recording apparatus. A control unit repeatedly executes a recording operation of recording data into a recording medium having a recording area that includes a plurality of partial areas. The control unit performs control so that one partial area included among the plurality of partial areas is used as a recording destination, and when the one partial area is filled with recorded data, another partial area is used as a recording destination. The control unit performs control so that a size of data recorded in a single recording operation does not exceed a remaining size of a partial area that is used as a recording destination in the single recording operation.

  • Patent number: 10978110
    Abstract: An image recording apparatus can record an appropriate reel number and an appropriate camera identification (ID) in a volume label of a recording medium even in a case where a management file is generated for each moving image format. In a case where a management file of a first moving image format set as a recording format of a moving image file is not recorded, and a management file of another moving image format is recorded in a recording medium, the image recording apparatus determines a reel number of the recording medium based on information about the reel number included in the management file of the another moving image format and records the management file of the first moving image format including the information about the determined reel number in the recording medium, and does not update or record the volume label in the recording medium.
