Patent number: 7278797Abstract: A label to be attached to a linear or bar-shaped object is created by printing on a translucent printing tape and cutting off a printed tape part in a width direction of the printing tape. For creating the label, the printed tape part is divided parallel to its longitudinal direction and a print region where printing is performed is set. Printing is performed in the print region and the printed tape part is cut off. This region setting is performed in such a manner that the print region is overlaid with a non-print region, i.e., a non-print part in attaching the label around the object from an edge portion of the printed tape part in its width direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2005Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignees: Seiko Epson Corporation, King Jim Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masao Akaiwa, Nobuyuki Horii

Patent number: 7195409Abstract: An apparatus, method and program produce small print including character string information in a plurality of languages together with a logo. A language converting function converts an input character string into another language. A multi-language printing function converts the input character string into a specified number and types of languages. A layout function allows specifying one piece of information of the logo, specifying one record, specifying one type of character string information and printing the specified layout as the small print inclusive of the logo and character string.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2004Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Assignee: King Jim Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nobuyuki Horii, Ko Kojima, Takanobu Kameda, Yoichi Hine, Tomoyuki Ichikawa, Sumio Honda, Toshinori Nojima, Aiko Tanaka, Takashi Yamaguchi

Patent number: 7033092Abstract: An apparatus, a method and a program are provided, each of which is intended to produce small prints. A variety of graphics are useful as framing elements for outer framing and tabulation with no need for increasing the volume of information to be prestored. One optional character, e.g., a pictogram, can be designated as a front ruling element and/or a rear ruling element for outer framing and tabulation. The optional character is chosen from among characters capable of input as character elements in lines of input characters. Upon execution of a print command, dot development is performed with respect to the front ruling portion and/or the rear ruling portion by utilizing fonts as character elements. Line types for upper ruling and lower ruling can also be designated, thereby effecting dot development depending upon the designated types of lines.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2004Date of Patent: April 25, 2006Assignee: Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd.Inventors: Nobuyuki Horii, Shinji Ishizuka, Yasuhide Anbiru, Hiroshi Ono, Takayuki Uehara, Mikihiro Kajihara, Seiji Tanaka

Publication number: 20050221260Abstract: For enabling many peoples to make an input operation, for producing and recognizing the braille characters and/or normal characters, easily, thereby contributing of spreading the braille labels, widely, on which the braille characters are described, not only forming convex portions on a braille label, corresponding to the contents of braille characters, which are taken into, but also printing out the print character lines thereon, which are taken into. Herein, a user can made selection of a layout for the braille character line and the print character lines, arbitrarily. If there is coincidence between the contents of braille characters and the print character lines, a person other than the visually handicapped person can also recognize the contents of braille characters. Further, an input operation can easily be made by converting the print character lines that are inputted into the contents of braille characters, corresponding thereto, automatically, to be inputted in the condition thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2005Publication date: October 6, 2005Inventors: Junichi Kikuchi, Kenichi Tanabe, Nobuyuki Horii, Takashi Tateishi, Toshinori Nojima, Aiko Tanaka
