Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for using a third-party application to access or edit a file within a cloud-based environment within a cloud-based platform or environment. In one embodiment, a method includes, in the cloud-based environment, responsive to detecting a request to access or edit a file using the third-party application, the file is provided for access or edit using the third-party application. The third-party application includes a user interface which is customized to enable storage of the accessed or edited file to the cloud-based environment. In some embodiments, the third-party application is allowed or restricted to store the accessed file back to the cloud-based environment.

Abstract: A position measuring device includes a plurality of concave marks, a light source portion, a light receiving portion, and a concave portion measuring portion. The concave marks are formed on an external wall of an object to be a measuring target. Each of the plurality of the concave marks includes a plurality of concave portions disposed on a concentric circle with a preset concave mark central position to be a center of the concentric circle. The concave portions are provided so that densities of the concave portions become lower as distances from the concave mark central position become longer in each of the concave marks. The light source portion irradiates the object with an irradiating light. The light receiving portion receives a reflected light from the object, the refracted light being originated from the irradiating light. The concave portion measuring portion measures each three-dimensional position of the concave marks.

Abstract: A printer for receiving document data from a computer system and printing an interface onto a surface. The interface is based on the document data, which includes identity data indicative of at least one identity. The identity is, in turn, associated with a region of the interface. The interface also includes coded data. The printer includes a coded data generator configured to generate the coded data based at least partially on the identity data. A printing mechanism in the printer prints the interface onto the surface, including printing the coded data using an ink including an infrared-absorbing dye.

Abstract: The present invention provides a printer and an inexpensive method for producing a printed circuit board using a printer configured to facilitate printing at least directly on a copper-clad substrate. The method includes the steps of feeding a copper-clad substrate into the printer, printing an inverse circuit image on the copper-clad substrate, allowing the inverse circuit image to dry, metalizing the copper-clad substrate to adhere a resist mask to exposed, uninked copper to form a metalized circuit image, and etching the copper-clad substrate that has been metalized to remove copper that forms the inverse circuit image.

Abstract: High speed, on-the-fly line printer apparatus including an inked ribbon advancing mechanism, a print sheet advancing mechanism, and drive structure coupled with both the advancing mechanisms to interruptedly advance them. Also, the inked ribbon advancing mechanism may be bodily shiftable between different positions associated with different color printing modes, the drive structure accommodating such shifting. Furthermore, a drum having multiple columns of type font segments is provided.

Abstract: A precision hand-held label imprinter and dispenser includes a compact case or frame with a projecting handle and an applicator roller located remote therefrom, together with a dialable imprinter and platen assembly arranged so that a trigger lever associated with the handle may be manually acutated in one direction to imprint label stock (tape) by driving the platen across an imprinter in an engaged condition to force the printing medium and label stock thereagainst and operates in the opposite direction to separate the imprinter and platen and to simultaneously advance the printing medium and to advance the printed label stock to the applicator roller. Through a series of connected drive elements with the trigger lever, the device times the several functions so that accurate reproductions with high resolution of the dialed imprint information on each label is assured.

Abstract: A combined mechanism for impacting a print member and advancing a printing ribbon of a high speed printer wherein an electromagnet, located near and on a yoke mechanism containing the print stem shaft of the print head, operate together with a linkage mechanism which is attached to the yoke mechanism, to impact the print head upon a platen and advance a printing ribbon one increment, the linking mechanism including several linking members and a stop which allows free movement to a first linking member and a cable which during energization is drawn taut but goes slack during de-energization and remains slack after the print head impacts and rebounds to a neutral position.

Abstract: A high speed multicolor printing apparatus having an ink ribbon with colored stripes or bands of different colors to allow printing of a certain line with a different color from the other lines. The apparatus is provided with means to control the selected color for printing.

Abstract: A compact flying printer having a continuously rotating print drum and ratchet wheel, a trigger lever positionable to be struck by a tooth of said ratchet wheel and a hammer lever driven by said trigger lever and provided with a print hammer at its end. The trigger lever is formed with a linear guide portion for regulating the motion thereof and an energy transmitting portion projected for transmitting energy from said ratchet wheel to said hammer lever.
