  • Patent number: 11606187
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to a transmitting device, a receiving device, and the like for preventing increases in the number of communication links, power consumption, and circuit layout area. The transmitting device includes a high-speed signal generator, a low-speed signal generator, and a signal superimposing unit. The high-speed signal generator generates a high-speed signal having a limited frequency band. The low-speed signal generator generates a low-speed signal having a frequency lower than the frequency band of the high-speed signal. The signal superimposing unit outputs a superimposed signal of the high-speed signal and the low-speed signal. The receiving device includes a signal separator and a recovery unit. The signal separator separates the received signal into the high-speed signal and the low-speed signal. The recovery unit performs frequency tracking based on the separated low-speed signal and performs phase tracking based on the separated high-speed signal.

  • Patent number: 11579820
    Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a consumable accommodates printing material and is mounted in a main casing. The consumable includes a consumable memory. A controller performs a restriction process to rewrite the first status information to indicate the used product to prohibit the consumable from being used in other image forming apparatuses in a case where first status information stored in the one of the consumable memory and a main memory indicates the new product. The controller performs an updating process to update the second status information so that the second status information indicates that the consumable can be temporarily used in the another image forming apparatus in a case where the controller receives a contract cancellation instruction. The contract cancellation instruction instructs to cancel an agreement concluded for the image forming apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11559889
    Abstract: A substrate transport device includes an arm, an end effector coupled to the arm, a driver configured to lift the arm so that the end effector receives a substrate, and a controller configured to control an output of the driver to set a lifting speed of the arm. A difference in height between the end effector and the arm is a position difference. A period from when the end effector contacts the substrate until the end effector completes reception of the substrate is a transition period. The controller sets an upper limit value of the lifting speed that decreases an amplitude of one of acceleration or jerk of the position difference in the transition period as compared to before the transition period to an upper limit value of the lifting speed for the transition period.
