Abstract: A correction information creation device including: a recording head; a rotating body; a first detector that detects a period of a pulse signal generated in accordance with rotation of the rotating body; a first calculation section that calculates a period of a clock signal; a second detector that detects a space between corrective images that are formed synchronously with a period of the clock signal, while the rotating body is being rotated at a predetermined rotation speed, by two sets of image formation elements of the recording head; a second calculation section that calculates a distance between a measurement position of a peripheral surface of the rotating body and the axial center of the rotating body; and a memory that stores the calculated distance to serve as information for correcting the period of the clock signal.

Abstract: In a liquid droplet discharge apparatus that prevents deterioration in the precision of ink droplet landing positions resulting from deformation of long members due to changes in the temperature environment, long members to which plural head units are attached are fixed at one end but slidably supported at the other end. The long members no longer bend because the other ends of the long members slide.

Abstract: A portable information terminal having high adaptability and high convenience with respect to operating environment, and by which comfortable and high-quality sounds can be reproduced is provided. A sound reproducing system in a portable information terminal 1, wherein the portable information terminal is provided with at least two acoustic loudspeakers 2a and 2b; and the at least two acoustic loudspeakers are driven simultaneously to compensate their reproduced sounds with each other.

Abstract: A sound reproducing system including at least one portable terminal unit which acquires data including sound data. For example, the data may be multimedia data and is acquired from data delivery service and the like. Each of the at least one portable terminal unit comprises: a loudspeaker for reproducing sound from the sound data; and a sound data reproducing portion which makes the loudspeaker reproduce the sound based on the sound data and in cooperation with at least one sound devices. The sound devices may be other portable terminal units. By using a plurality of portable terminal units, it becomes possible to reproduce stereophonic sound, surround sound, and the like. It is also possible to reproduce image together with such sound.
