Patent number: 8210628Abstract: An interface, to which a recording medium storing at least one first setting information item is removably attached to a printer. A storage stores hardware specification data. A reader reads out the at least one first setting information item from the recording medium attached to the interface. A register judges whether the at least one read out first setting information item matches with the hardware specification data, and registers the first setting information item which matches with the hardware specification data as at least one second setting information item. A selector selects one of the at least one second setting information item as a print condition.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Hideyuki Narusawa, Yoichi Tanaka, Hidetake Nishizawa, Katsumi Komagamine

Patent number: 8196295Abstract: There is provided a control means for controlling movement positions and movement timings of a nozzle elevating means and a nozzle moving means. The control means stores positions and heights of obstacles located between a component supply unit and a circuit board in advance. The control means moves down a nozzle in sync with the time when the nozzle has finished passing over each obstacle after an electronic component has been photographed by a component camera. Alternatively, the control means moves the nozzle in a path to avoid the obstacles. In addition, in a component mounting region, the nozzle moves at a component mounting region movement height and the component is mounted by the nozzle moved down from the component mounting region movement height. Accordingly, it is possible to shorten an elevating stroke of the nozzle (5). In addition, the nozzle can be elevated in an arc trajectory.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2007Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Shigeki Imafuku, Takeyuki Kawase, Yoichi Tanaka, Osamu Okuda, Takanori Yoshitake, Toshiyuki Kino

Patent number: 7114481Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a split crankcase with spaced-apart journal walls. Each journal wall has a bearing hole formed therein. The engine also includes rotary bearings for supporting rotary movement of a crankshaft. A backlash-absorbing mechanism is situated proximate a first one of the rotary bearings, for cushioning radial movement of an outer bearing race. Axial movement-restraining structure is also provided adjacent the outer race, for limiting axial movement thereof. The axial movement-restraining structure may include an engaging groove provided in an inner circumferential surface of the outer race, and a restraining clamp member operatively attached to a surface of the crankcase. The restraining clamp member may include a hook portion which engages with the engaging groove of the outer race. The axial movement-restraining structure allows at least one of the crankshaft support bearings to be a roller bearing or a needle bearing, instead of a ball bearing.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2004Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akira Takahashi, Teruo Kihara, Yoichi Tanaka
