  • Patent number: 9421766
    Abstract: A flow path member includes a cover divided into a base unit and a cover unit. Flow path grooves are provided on one side of faces of the cover unit and the base unit which face each other. The flow path grooves extend in a first direction and are aligned in a second direction. An elastic sealing member is arranged between the facing faces and configures a part of a flow path wall face by covering the flow path grooves. An abutting unit is provided on one side of the base unit and the cover unit, protrudes toward the other side, and comes into contact with the other side. The abutting unit may be provided on both sides of the flow path groove in any one direction and may be extended along the other direction. The base unit and the cover unit may be fixed using a fastening member.

  • Patent number: 9358799
    Abstract: A flow path member includes a first space which is opened by a first liquid flow path, and into which liquid flows from the first liquid flow path; a second space which is opened by a second liquid flow path on a bottom surface at the opposite side to the first space, and out of which liquid flows from the second liquid flow path; a filter which filters liquid passing therethrough, and which is included between the first space and the second space; and a support which protrudes from the bottom surface of the second space toward the filter side, in which the support is a point-form projection.

  • Patent number: 7832635
    Abstract: A controller according to the present invention is a controller for controlling a digital multifunctional device which performs job process operation including at least one of image reading operation and image forming operation. The controller includes: a user information acquiring section for acquiring user information from an outside; a wireless tag information acquiring section for acquiring information stored in a wireless tag attached to a book; an owner information judging section for judging whether owner information indicating an owner of the book is included or not in the information acquired by the wireless information acquiring section; and an operation allowance section for comparing the owner information with the user information when the owner information is included, so as to allow the job process operation when the owner information is identical with the user information and so as not to allow the job process operation when the user information is not included.
