Abstract: An electric vehicle includes: a motor for traveling; an electric power storage device configured to supply and receive electric power to and from the motor; a controller configured to control the motor such that, when an accelerator is off, a braking force based on a traveling position selected from a plurality of traveling positions with different braking forces exhibited when the accelerator is off acts on the electric vehicle; and a notification unit that notifies information. the controller is configured, when the accelerator is off and a first maximum braking force output from the motor is limited more than a second maximum braking force of the traveling position selected when the accelerator is off, among the plurality of traveling positions, to cause the notification unit to notify limitation information indicating that the first maximum braking force is limited.

Abstract: A printer includes a printing unit having a printing head and a platen positioned opposite the printing head, the printing head being configured to print on a print medium that is fed between the printing head and the platen, a ribbon holding shaft configured to hold an ink ribbon that is wound thereon, a ribbon winding shaft configured to wind and collect the ink ribbon supplied from the ribbon holding shaft, and first and second guide shafts provided along a feeding route of the ink ribbon between the ribbon holding shaft and the ribbon winding shaft to apply tension to the ink ribbon. At least one of the first and second guide shafts has a tilt adjuster that applies a twist to the ink ribbon in a width direction of the ink ribbon through said at least one of the first and second guide shafts.

Abstract: An electric discharge machine performs a hole machining on a workpiece by applying a voltage between an electrode and the workpiece to generate an electric discharge therebetween and moving the electrode to a position of a command depth. The electric discharge machine comprises: a storage unit; a current-coordinate detection unit; an electric-discharge-voltage detection unit a penetration detection unit; and a calculation unit. The storage unit stores therein a penetration determination voltage, a penetration determining duration, and a first projecting amount. The current-coordinate detection unit detects a current position of the electrode. The electric-discharge-voltage detection unit detects a minimum voltage of the electric discharge for each predetermined period. The penetration detection unit determines the electrode has penetrated through the workpiece.

Abstract: A roll holder unit for a printer includes a regulating wall, a movable arm, and a lock arm. The regulating wall is located on the same axial side of the roll as the regulating wall to prevent axial movement of a roll. The movable arm moves between an adjacent position in which the axle is contact with a shaft and a spaced-apart position in which the axle is apart from the shaft. The movable arm is biased toward the adjacent position from the spaced-apart position. The lock arm moves between a regulating position in which the lock arm regulates the movable arm from moving from the adjacent position to the spaced-apart position and a release position in which the lock arm allows the movable arm to move from the adjacent position to the spaced-apart position.

Abstract: A handy reader includes: an antenna unit configured to perform radio communication with a radio tag having data stored therein to thereby read the data stored in the radio tag; a fixing member configured to detachably fix a portable terminal mounted with a display unit configured to display the data read from the radio tag by the antenna unit; and a communication unit configured to perform radio communication with the portable terminal to thereby transmit and receive the data.

Abstract: A switch 112a is provided at the middle apart of a handle member 114 and may be pushed to start radiating electric waves. Another switch 112b is provided near the distal end of the handle member 114 and may be pushed to stop radiating electric waves.

Abstract: An electric-discharge machining apparatus for machining a workpiece by an electric discharge generated between a machining electrode and the workpiece, includes a correcting unit that corrects a machining amount input for machining the workpiece, based on a usage history of the machining electrode; and a control unit that controls a machining processing on the workpiece based on the machining amount corrected.

Abstract: An adhesive to attach a package to an article is applied on a back face of a base sheet. An adhesive to fix a wireless tag and adhere the cover sheet to the base sheet is applied on a surface of the cover sheet oppositely facing the base sheet. The adhesive to be applied to the cover sheet is not applied on a slightly narrower zone than the size of the tag on the wireless tag adhering zone.
