  • Patent number: 8317295
    Abstract: A microparticle/aerosol-collecting device for office machine. The microparticle/aerosol-collecting device is positioned near a printing section or a printer head. The microparticle/aerosol-collecting device includes a housing having an upper section and a lower section defining a space. The space has an opening. An absorption section is arranged in the space. The absorption section is formed with a chamber and multiple passages communicating with the chamber. The microparticle/aerosol-collecting device further includes a cleaning unit disposed in the chamber of the absorption section. The absorption section is rotationally drivable by a motor to create a negative pressure effect around the absorption section, whereby the airflow is collectively taken into the chamber of the absorption section through the passages thereof. Accordingly, the microparticles or ink aerosols are entrained by the airflow to go into the chamber. The microparticles or ink aerosols are then absorbed and removed by the cleaning unit.

  • Patent number: 8313166
    Abstract: A cleaning device for ink wiper is disclosed. The cleaning device is arranged in a position adjacent to the ink wiper. The cleaning device includes a stand and an ink-absorbing unit disposed on the stand. The ink-absorbing unit is constantly in contact with at least one face of the wiper. In the reciprocation travel of the wiper, the ink-absorbing unit serves to clean off the ink stagnating on the wiper. Therefore, the wiper is prevented from being stained with the ink so as not to affect the ink-wiping effect of the wiper.

  • Publication number: 20090243200
    Abstract: Skew rectification mechanism for fed paper. The skew rectification mechanism includes a first rotational shaft and a second rotational shaft arranged in parallel to a transverse reference axis of the paper. The rotational shafts are rotationally drivable by motors. A roller is coaxially fitted around each rotational shaft for guiding the paper to advance. In case of skew taking place in delivery of the paper, the first and second rotational shafts are rotated at different rotational speed to smoothly micro-rectify the skew of the paper.

  • Publication number: 20020044486
    Abstract: An IC card of flash memory according to the present invention comprises an array of flash memory. The array has a plurality of pages having flash memory cells erased simultaneously. The pages comprise a relative-large page and a relative-small page. The number of the flash memory cells in the relative-large page is larger than that in the relative-small page. Seldom-change data codes, longer data codes and programs are stored into the relative-large pages. On the other hand, shorter data codes and frequently-changed data codes are stored into the relative-small pages. A better reliability can be achieved according to the present invention.
