  • Image processing apparatus, control method, and computer program for detecting a failure and showing a handling procedure for eliminating the failure
    Patent number: 9087292
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus detects a failure that has occurred, and determines whether or not the location at which the failure has been detected is in an accessory device attached to the body of an image processing apparatus. When the location at which the failure has been detected is in an accessory device, the image processing apparatus receives video data that shows a handling procedure for eliminating the failure that has occurred in the accessory device from a video distribution server and stores the data in a storage unit, and reproduces and displays the video data on a screen. Then, when the image processing apparatus detects that the above described failure has been eliminated, it erases the video data displayed on the above described screen from the storage unit.

  • INJECTING MACHINE FOR TWO DIFFERENT LIQUIDS
    Publication number: 20140196807
    Abstract: An injecting machine for two different liquids is configured to inject a liquid mixture of the two different liquids in a first-in first-out manner. The liquid mixture passes from a passage of an injection cylinder through a helical groove of a plunger into a forward space formed forwardly of the plunger as the plunger gradually moves back. When the plunger reaches a fully retracted position, a first part of the mixture remains in a front portion of the forward space while a last part of the mixture remains in a rear portion of the forward space. As the plunger moves to an advanced position, the first part of the mixture is first injected out of a nozzle and the last part of the mixture is finally injected out of the nozzle.

  • INJECTION MOLDING APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20130309350
    Abstract: An injection molding apparatus includes, as its drive sources, an electric power supply source, compressed air source and hydraulic pressure supply source. A hydraulic-pressure-supply-destination selection section supplies hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic pressure supply source to a selected one of first and second mold clamping cylinders. Necessary capacity of the hydraulic pressure supply source can be lowered as compared to a case where all of the mold clamping mechanisms and injecting machines are driven by hydraulic pressure. Because only a selected one of the mold clamping mechanisms is driven at a time, the necessary capacity of the hydraulic pressure supply source can be halved as compared to a case where the mold clamping mechanisms are driven simultaneously.
