  • Measurement device, measurement method, and storage medium
    Patent number: 11977124
    Abstract: A measurement device including an impedance calculator configured to perform following processes S1 to S5 is provided: S1: preparing a Bode diagram; S2: extracting a peak from the Bode diagram; increasing the number of RC parallel circuits by +1, and fitting a mountain shape which is able to be represented by an RC parallel circuit centered on the peak; S3: subtracting a Bode diagram component which is able to be represented by the fitted RC parallel circuit from the Bode diagram of the measurement results; S4: ending identification of the number of RC parallel circuits when a peak is not extracted from the Bode diagram and repeating the processes (S2) and S(3) when a peak is extracted; and S5: reporting the total number of RC parallel circuits.

  • Thermal printer, control method of a thermal printer, and printing system
    Patent number: 10618312
    Abstract: A thermal printer has a thermal head with multiple heat elements for printing on roll paper; a measurer that measures heat element resistance; printer memory storing a resistance evaluation table relating the resistance of the heat elements to heat element defect levels defined based on a specific range of reflectivity in the symbol image; and an evaluator that references the resistance evaluation table stored in printer memory, acquires a defect level based on the resistance measured by the measurer, and evaluates the defect state of the thermal head based on the defect level of a consecutively adjacent count of heat elements.
