  • Publication number: 20200361026
    Abstract: A laser processing machine includes a laser generator, assist gas supply tube, a light part, an imaging part, an acquisition part, and an adjustment part. The assist gas supply tube adjusts pressure of an assist gas and supplies the assist gas which is a gas injected from an irradiation port to an inner nozzle space. The imaging part images a workpiece by detecting a reflected light which is illumination light from the light part reflected by the workpiece through a portion of a laser beam passing space. The acquisition part acquires focal information which is a change amount of an imaging focal position according to the gas pressure in the inner nozzle space or is information for compensating the change amount. The adjustment part adjusts at least one of an imaging focal position and a position of the imaging part based on the focal information acquired by the acquisition part.

  • Publication number: 20130124893
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a network control unit, a main control unit, a clock circuit unit, a sub control unit, and a power mode switching unit. The main control unit transmits transition information to the sub control unit during a transition to a first power saving mode when power supply to the main control unit is stopped. The clock circuit unit transmits a transition instruction to the sub control unit at a specified time. When detecting the transition instruction during the first power saving mode, the sub control unit selectively controls the power mode switching unit to switch a power mode based on the transition information between transition from the first power saving mode to the normal mode and transition from the first power saving mode to the second power saving mode when power supply to the main control unit and the network control unit is stopped.

  • Publication number: 20110141531
    Abstract: An image processing unit has a main body unit including scanner, facsimile and display sections, and a first control section for controlling the scanner, facsimile and display sections. A network unit includes a second control section for controlling exchange of information through an interface section. A bus connects the main body and network units. An image processing unit, connected to the bus, processes image data generated by the scanner or facsimile section according to a request of the first or second control section. The display section displays an image indicated in the processed image data acquired by the main body unit, and the interface section transmits the processed image data acquired by the network unit to an external network.

  • Patent number: 7882392
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a power supply unit that generates plural output voltages from an input voltage and outputs the various output voltages from respective plural power supply channels, a voltage detecting unit that monitors voltages of two power supply channels among plural power supply channels which are different in decreases of the output voltage in the case that the input voltage is cut off, outputs a first detecting signal upon detecting a decrease in voltage of a first power supply channel having a fast decrease to a first threshold and outputs a second detecting signal upon detecting a decrease in voltage of a second power supply channel having a slow decrease to a second threshold, and a control unit that saves data upon receiving the first detecting signal and stops an operation of the electronic device upon receiving the second detecting signal.
