Patent number: 11958301Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a printing unit configured to print an image on a print medium, an acquiring unit configured to acquire temperature information of the printing unit, and a control unit configured to control the printing unit so as to start relative scanning in a case where a temperature that is indicated by the temperature information has reached a print permission temperature. The print permission temperature in a first print mode whose speed at a time of a constant speed in relative scanning is a first speed is a first temperature. The print permission temperature in a second print mode whose speed at the time of the constant speed is a second speed that is faster than the first speed is a second temperature that is lower than the first temperature.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takeshi Murase, Kazuhiko Sato, Taku Yokozawa, Noboru Kunimine, Hiroshi Taira, Hiroshi Kawafuji, Sae Mogi, Akiko Aichi

Patent number: 9822445Abstract: By using chemical vapor deposition or chemical vapor infiltration, silicon carbide is deposited on a preform 100 accommodated in a reaction furnace 11 for film formation, and the amount of additive gas added to raw material gas and carrier gas to be supplied to the reactive furnace 11 is used to control the growth rate and filling uniformity at film formation of silicon carbide. When the film formation of silicon carbide follows a first-order reaction, the amount of added additive gas is used to control the sticking probability of the film-forming species. When the film formation of silicon carbide follows a Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate formula, the amount of added additive gas is used to make a control so that a zero-order reaction region of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate formula is used.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2015Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignees: IHI Corporation, The University of TokyoInventors: Takeshi Nakamura, Masato Ishizaki, Kenji Fuchigami, Kozue Hotozuka, Yukihiro Shimogaki, Takeshi Momose, Yasuyuki Fukushima, Noboru Sato, Yuichi Funato, Hidetoshi Sugiura

Patent number: 7622418Abstract: To provide a method for industrially efficiently producing an exhaust gas purifying catalyst containing a perovskite-type composite oxide which is stable and has a less reduced specific surface area and is also effectively prevented from decreasing in its catalytic performance even in endurance in high temperature oxidative reducing atmospheres, a pre-crystallization composition containing elementary components constituting a perovskite-type composite oxide containing a noble metal is prepared, is mixed with a powder of theta-alumina and/or alpha-alumina to prepare a mixture, and the mixture is heat treated. Thus, the resulting perovskite-type composite oxide supported by the powder of theta-alumina and/or alpha-alumina can keep its thermostability at a sufficient level thereby to effectively prevent the catalytic performance from decreasing. This method can industrially efficiently produce the exhaust gas purifying catalyst.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2003Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignees: Daihatsu Motor Company, Ltd., Hokko Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hirohisa Tanaka, Isao Tan, Mari Uenishi, Nobuhiko Kajita, Masashi Taniguchi, Yasunori Sato, Keiichi Narita, Noboru Sato
