Abstract: Provided is a printing apparatus having a device which is capable of intuitively deciding whether the indication of printing start is possible. Platen installation (S10), ink cartridge installation (S20), residual ink amount (S30), waste ink tank installation (S40), residual capacity of waste ink tank (S50), printing data reception (S60), and maintenance execution (S70) are confirmed, as conditions at which printing can be conducted, with a platen detection sensor, ink cartridge detection sensor, residual ink amount detection sensor, water ink tank detection sensor, residual capacity of waste ink tank detection sensor, reception flag, and maintenance flag, respectively, and a printing possibility LED provided in a printing start button is switched on at the point of time when all the printing possibility-conditions are satisfied (S90).

Abstract: The ink-jet head can be accurately positioned facing a maintenance unit, even if the maintenance unit is not attached with a high installation accuracy. When “MAINTENANCE POSITION SETTING” is selected from the menu (S20: YES), a message which instructs positioning is displayed at the LCD 16b (S30). If then the OK button 16e is pushed (S40: YES), the user conducts positioning of the carriage 20 and maintenance unit 14 and it is decided that the carriage 20 has been moved to the adequate position, whereby the value stored in the carriage position register 110a, that is, the present position of the carriage 20, is stored in the EEPROM 125 as a maintenance position of the carriage 20 (S70).

Abstract: A cyclic amino compound represented by the following formula: or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof. R1 is a substitutable phenyl group. R2 is a substitutable aliphatic acyl group, a substitutable benzoyl group or an alkoxycarbonyl group. R3 is a substituted, saturated cyclic amino group which may optionally have a fused ring. These compounds and salts have excellent platelet aggregation inhibitory action. They are useful for the prevention and/or treatment of embolism, thrombosis or arteriosclerosis and other conditions resulting from platelet aggregation.

Abstract: A CPU selects a line segment, whose both endpoints constructing a part of a quilt design are on a periphery, and then selects a line segment, which separates a piece from the quilt design on a piece-by-piece basis so that the separated piece will not have a line segment to become a separation line, from the selected line segments, after separation. When the line segment can be selected, a piece is separated from the quilt design at the selected line segment on a piece-by-piece basis. Then, the CPU determines that the quilt design, whose one piece has been separated, is the object to be determined, and separates pieces from the quilt design on a piece-by-piece basis. When all line segments are used for the separation, an applicability determination flag is set, because all pieces in the quilt design are separated into pieces on the piece-by-piece basis.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pattern editing system which extracts a unit pattern from repeatedly arranged patterns, arranges a plurality of unit patterns to form another repeated patterns consisting of only the unit pattern. Degree of matching of adjacent patterns are adjustable by correcting a distortion of the extracted unit pattern.

Abstract: A cyclic amine derivative represented by the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, R.sup.2 represents a substituted of unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 aliphatic acyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted benzoyl group or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxycarbonyl group, and R.sup.3 represents a substituted 3 to 7 membered saturated cyclic amino group which may form a fused ring; or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds and salts have excellent platelet aggregation inhibitory action. They are useful for the treatment and prevention of such diseases as embolism, thrombosis or arteriosclerosis and for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for such uses.
