Abstract: An image processing apparatus converts, based on a threshold matrix in which thresholds are arrayed, input image data into a first dot pattern representing dots recorded by a recording head, and obtains a second dot pattern representing dots recorded by each of L number of the nozzle arrays by assigning the dots of the first dot pattern to each of the nozzle arrays so that each nozzle of the recording head is used in a cycle of L. A power spectrum in a frequency domain of the first dot pattern has a blue noise characteristic or a green noise characteristic in which power in a low frequency band is suppressed, and power is suppressed at a frequency corresponding to the cycle of L and at frequencies of multiplications of the frequency.

Abstract: An electric tool includes a motor, a first intermediate member configured to be displaced when a first accessory is attached to a first attachment portion, a second intermediate member configured to be displaced when a second accessory is attached to a second attachment portion, and a first interlock member.

Abstract: A hand-held tool, such as a disc grinder, is used to perform work at a high work site, a countermeasure is taken to prevent the hand-held tool from falling by using a suspension tool, such as a tether strap. If a coupling part that couples the suspension tool to the hand-held tool is damaged, this fact is notified to a user. Thereby, an original function of the suspension tool can be reliably performed. If a large impact is applied to a coupling member via a suspension tool, the coupling member is displaced to a second position, due to the deformation of a first position retaining member. A conductive portion disengages from contacts to cause a power circuit to be shut off, thereby prohibiting a main body part from being activated.
