  • Patent number: 9696951
    Abstract: Using the ability to print according to a template, a recording device adds value to the printed output. A printer in a recording control system stores area definition data defining areas in each of a plurality of templates composed of one or more printing areas. When a control command is received from a host computer, the printer records images in areas of a template based on the area definition data of the areas in the specified template. To record images related to a particular product with the printer, the host computer gets product information related to the product, and generates and sends a control command to convert and record information related to a specific area in the template based on the product information.

  • Patent number: 9672456
    Abstract: An image processing device that changes the output format of the generated printout can dynamically change the output format of the printout using print data from an existing system. An image processing device that executes a process to change the output format of a printout has an output format selector that selects a template determining the format of the printout based on information contained in the print data for the printout, and a print data generator that changes the print data according to the selected template.

  • Patent number: 7163850
    Abstract: In a bottom gate-type thin-film transistor manufacturing method, after ion doping, an ion stopper (55) is removed. The ion stopper (55) does not remain in the interlayer insulating film (8) lying immediately above the gate electrode. The thin-film transistor has such a structure that no ion stopper (55), and the interlayer insulating layer is in direct contact with at least the channel region of the semiconductor layer (4). The impurity concentration in the vicinity of the interface between the interlayer insulating film and the semiconductor layer 4 is 1018 atoms/cc or less. This structure can prevent the back channel phenomenon and reduce variations in characteristic resulting from variations in manufacturing.
