Patent number: 9704072Abstract: A printer according to an embodiment includes an interface that receives Arabic character data. A control portion includes an image buffer that stores the Arabic character data and a character generator that stores font data corresponding to the Arabic character data. The control portion retrieves font data from the character generator corresponding to the Arabic character data. The control portion generates at least one Arabic character string corresponding to a line or a word unit by rearranging the Arabic character data. The control portion generates image data of the Arabic character string based on the font data. A printer engine prints the generated image data.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2015Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: TOSHIBA TEC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Noriaki Harada

Patent number: 9186633Abstract: Disclosed is a method for easily producing a long porous thermosetting resin sheet which has no resin coating film on the surface. Also disclosed are a porous thermosetting resin sheet produced by the method, and a composite semipermeable membrane having excellent chemical resistance and practical water permeability and salt-blocking property. The porous thermosetting resin sheet can be produced by forming a cylindrical or columnar resin block which is composed of a cured product of a thermosetting resin composition containing a thermosetting resin, a curing agent and a porogen; then forming a long thermosetting resin sheet by cutting the surface of the resin block at a certain thickness; and then removing the porogen from the thermosetting resin sheet.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2009Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: NITTO DENKO CORPORATIONInventors: Noriaki Harada, Atsushi Hiro, Katsumi Ishii, Yoshihide Kawaguchi, Atsuko Mizuike, Osamu Hayashi
