  • Patent number: 11858370
    Abstract: A vehicle includes: a battery that is chargeable with electric power supplied from a charger provided outside the vehicle; and an air-conditioning and cooling system that cools the battery. An ECU controls a charging operation for the battery such that the battery is charged under a charging condition of a constant current which is constant over a charging period from start of charging to satisfaction of a completion condition. The ECU sets the charging condition such that a battery temperature when the completion condition is satisfied becomes an upper limit temperature, based on an amount of heat generation in the battery caused by charging and an amount of cooling of the battery by the air-conditioning and cooling system.

  • Patent number: 11412107
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus performs predetermined image processing for read data obtained by reading an image on a document by first and second reading sensors arranged so as to have an overlapping area. The predetermined image processing includes color correction processing of converting color signals detected by light receiving elements of the reading sensors into color signals with respect to each of pixels forming read data. Color correction processing for first read data obtained from light receiving elements of the first reading sensor not included in the overlapping area and color correction processing for second read data obtained from light receiving elements of the second reading sensor not included in the overlapping area are performed in accordance with different correction characteristics. By doing this, an image in which image unevenness caused by individual differences of the short reading sensors is reduced can be output.

  • Patent number: 11017276
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus processes image information printed by a printing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a data obtaining unit to obtain print data for printing a line-width detection image including first multiple patches. Each of the first multiple patches includes multiple lines at substantially equal intervals in a first direction, each line having a first width in the first direction and extending in a second direction intersecting the first. The first multiple patches include first and second patches. A first substantially equal interval between a first plurality of lines in the first patch differs from a second substantially equal interval between a second plurality of lines in the second. An information obtaining unit obtains information on a print result of the printed line-width detection image. A correction unit corrects widths of lines in the first direction included in an image to be printed based on the obtained information.

  • Patent number: 10872279
    Abstract: A width in a first direction of a line in image data corresponding to an image to be printed by a printing apparatus is corrected, based on information on a print result of line-width detection images printed based on line-width detection image data in a raster format that is generated by performing rasterization processing on line-width detection image data in a vector format. In the line-width detection image data in the vector format, a distance between centers of the widths in the first direction of two lines adjacent in the first direction in each line-width detection image is an integral multiple of a rasterization resolution in the rasterization processing.
