  • Publication number: 20220379653
    Abstract: An enclosing-sealing apparatus includes a flap opener that opens a flap of an envelope while the envelope is conveyed to an enclosing position. A first envelope detector is disposed upstream from the flap opener in an envelope conveyance direction and detects both ends of the envelope in the envelope conveyance direction. A second envelope detector is disposed downstream from the flap opener in the envelope conveyance direction and detects both ends of the envelope in the envelope conveyance direction in an open state in which the flap opens. A controller determines the open state of the flap based on a first detection result sent from the first envelope detector and a second detection result sent from the second envelope detector. The controller performs troubleshooting for enclosing the enclosure into the envelope if the controller determines that the open state of the flap is faulty.

  • Patent number: 11504984
    Abstract: A printing apparatus provides a conveyance operation in which a conveyance unit conveys a print medium in a conveyance direction, and includes a control unit to control a printing unit such that, in a case where an image is to be printed onto a print medium of a first type in a first state in which the print medium of the first type is supported by a first conveyance member and not supported by a second conveyance member, the printing unit uses a printing element included in a first region from which a distance to the print medium of the first type in a height direction perpendicular to a surface where the printing elements are arrayed is a first distance, and does not use a printing element included in a second region from which a distance to the print medium of the first type in the height direction is a second distance greater than the first distance.

  • Publication number: 20220363088
    Abstract: An envelope processing apparatus for enclosing an enclosure into an envelope conveyed to an enclosing position includes a conveyance roller that conveys the envelope to the enclosing position. A first envelope length calculator calculates a first envelope length of the envelope in an envelope conveyance direction in which the envelope is conveyed in a close state in which a flap of the envelope closes. A flap opener opens the flap while the conveyance roller conveys the envelope. A second envelope length calculator calculates a second envelope length of the envelope in the envelope conveyance direction in an open state in which the flap opens. A controller calculates a flap length of the flap in the envelope conveyance direction based on the first envelope length and the second envelope length. The controller controls enclosing of the enclosure into the envelope based on the flap length.

  • Publication number: 20170150947
    Abstract: Provided is an ultrasonic diagnostic device in which a transmission unit outputs a transmission signal to a probe such that an ultrasonic wave is transmitted a plurality of times while the position of a sound source is changed. A reception unit obtains the received ultrasonic wave signal from the probe for each of the plurality of times that the transmission signal is transmitted. A synthesis processing unit synthesizes the received ultrasonic wave signals that are obtained over the plurality of times. A higher harmonic extraction unit extracts a higher harmonic component from the synthesized received ultrasonic wave signal. An image forming unit forms an ultrasonic wave image on the basis of the extracted higher harmonic component. A control unit adjusts the time interval of the plurality of times that the ultrasonic wave is transmitted and controls the transmission voltage of the transmission signal.

  • Patent number: 9514521
    Abstract: In ultrasound images, there are many stationary echoes in the region superficial to the deep region comprising the heart. In the present invention, a HPF processing unit (20) filters frame data by applying a high pass filter, the characteristics of which have been set according to the depth in the frame, on the frame data at said depth. The high pass filter can be achieved, for example, with a digital filter and the characteristics of the high pass filter are adjusted by the filter-setting unit (22) setting the filter coefficient of said digital filter. That is to say, the filter coefficient in the HPF processing unit (20) is controlled by the filter-setting unit (22) so that the deeper the region, the higher the offset level is set.

  • Publication number: 20160146929
    Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic device comprises a coefficient computation unit. The coefficient computation unit computes a coefficient on the basis of phase scattering in a plurality of received signals arranged in an element array direction. Beam data to which a phasing has been added is multiplied by the coefficient. A correction unit ensures that the coefficient does not get smaller than necessary on the basis of a transmission frequency. Excessive suppression of a main lobe component is thus eliminated or reduced.
