Publication number: 20180159798Abstract: There are provided a packet relay apparatus and a packet relay method capable of reducing the load of processing a packet in an apparatus to which the packet is to be relayed. The packet relay apparatus includes: a reception unit configured to receive a packet; a management unit configured to add transfer information to the packet received by the reception unit and output the packet, the transfer information indicating that the packet is a packet transferred by the packet relay apparatus; and a relay unit configured to transmit the packet to an apparatus to which the packet is to be relayed, without adding the transfer information, when the packet received from the management unit has the transfer information.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2016Publication date: June 7, 2018Applicant: SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Sumie TOMIYAMA, Satoru HATTORI

Patent number: 9008542Abstract: An image scanner section is disposed above a printer section. The image scanner section is supported by the printer section in such a manner as to be pivotable about a pivotal axis. The printer section has a lower housing having a substantially rectangular shape as viewed from above. The image scanner section has an upper housing having a substantially rectangular shape as viewed from above. The upper housing and the lower housing are configured such that a second upper corner portion, which is a corner portion of the upper housing, projects beyond a second lower corner portion, which is a corner portion of the lower housing and is located just under the second upper corner portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2014Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Sakae Ito, Takuro Kusama, Satoru Hattori

Patent number: 8155556Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a printer unit that forms an image on a recording sheet; an operation panel for operating and/or setting the printer unit, a side on which the operation panel is provided is defined as a front side; and an ejection space on which the recording sheet ejected from the printer unit is placed. As viewed from the front side, a radius curvature of a first portion that intermediates a right side plane of the printer unit and a front plane of the printer unit is larger than a radius curvature of a second portion that intermediates a left side plane of the printer unit and the front plane of the printer unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2007Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masato Moribe, Satoru Hattori, Keiichiro Egami, Yosuke Mase, Susumu Misu

Patent number: 7639966Abstract: When a guide lever is in a toner open position, a space is formed between an upper surface of the guide lever and a lower surface of a flat bed unit as a part of a transport path of a paper. Therefore, the paper is turned forward around in a generally U-shape in the transport path, and passes over a toner cartridge, then is ejected to an ejection tray. So the transport path can be increased in radius of curvature at the U-turn point thereof, and whereby a reliable feed of the paper with a reduced risk of paper jam can be achieved. Further, since a scanning unit is disposed below and adjacent to a process cartridge and the ejection tray so that it can overlap with the process cartridge and the ejection tray, and is disposed adjacent to a feed tray so that it can overlap upwardly with the feed tray, reduction in size of a laser printer can be achieved.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2006Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shougo Sato, Satoru Hattori, Hidenori Hisada
