Abstract:
An information reading system comprising an information processing apparatus, a first information reading apparatus which is connected to the information processing apparatus and reads information on a sheet and a second information reading apparatus which is connectable to one of the information processing apparatus and the first information reading apparatus, and reads information on a sheet. The information processing apparatus comprises a control program including a first driver required to control the first information reading apparatus, and a second driver required to control the second information reading apparatus. Control information from the information processing apparatus to the second information reading apparatus is transmitted via the first driver and the second driver.
Abstract:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a thermal transfer sheet which has a high transfer sensitivity in thermal transfer printing to obtain a high density print, has a high sharpness of thermal transfer images, can prevent an abnormal transfer in printing even after being stored at high temperature and high humidity, and can provide a sufficiently satisfactory printed matter.The above object is achieved by a thermal transfer sheet comprising: a substrate; a heat resistant slip layer provided on one side of the substrate; an undercoat layer and a dye layer provided in that order on the other side of the substrate, wherein the undercoat layer is formed by applying and drying a coating liquid which contains, as main components, a water soluble self cross-linking resin and colloidal inorganic pigment ultrafine particles, and cross-linking polymerizing the water soluble self cross-linking resin, or wherein the undercoat layer is formed by using colloidal inorganic pigment ultrafine particles and a copolymer resin of vinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate as main components.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus in which the position of the boundary between an image of an original and a background image, as well as a skew and the size of the image of the original, can be accurately detected even with dust on a line image sensor or on an opposing member opposite to the line image sensor. An image formed on an original is read by a reading unit, and an opposing member is arranged at a position opposite to the reading unit. A plate glass distances the original from the opposing member. Shadow portions of the read image is detected from changes in a sub-scanning direction of pixel data of a read image generated based on output from the reading unit, and boundary coordinate data of the image of the original is obtained.
Abstract:
A vehicle includes a motor serving as a driving source for running the vehicle, and a high-power assembled battery and a high-capacity assembled battery each capable of supplying an electric power to the motor and placed in a luggage space. The high-power assembled battery is capable of charge and discharge with a current relatively larger than that in the high-capacity assembled battery. The high-capacity assembled battery has an energy capacity relatively larger than that of the high-power assembled battery and has a higher dependence of battery characteristic on temperature than that of the high-power assembled battery. The high-capacity assembled battery is placed over the high-power assembled battery in the vehicle.
Abstract:
A plug apparatus has a first holding portion holding a stack connecting conductive wire, a second holding portion separated from the first holding portion and holding a stack connecting conductive wire, and a fixing portion to which the first and second holding portions and are removably fixed, wherein the first and second holding portions and are fixed to the fixing portion and the stack connecting conductive wires and are electrically connected to each other in a first state in which a plug grip is mounted, and the first and second holding portions and are allowed to separate from the fixing portion and the electrical connection between the stack connecting conductive wires and is broken in a second state in which the plug grip is dismounted.
Abstract:
A power storage device includes a plurality of power storage elements (10) lined up along a predetermined arrangement direction; a dividing member (40) that is made of insulating material and arranged between two adjacent power storage elements; a pair of end plates (31) that sandwich the plurality of power storage elements, and apply restraining force thereto, in the arrangement direction; and a metal connecting member (32) that extends in the arrangement direction and is fixed to the pair of end plates. The dividing member includes a retaining portion (42) that is positioned between the power storage elements and the connecting member, and that retains the connecting member.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus including a shading correction mechanism that can be formed by fewer component parts than conventional ones, and is increased in the degree of freedom of design, thereby enabling reduction of the size and weight thereof. A contact glass guides an original to an image reading position. A glass holding member holds the glass. A line image sensor reads an image on the original conveyed to the image reading location, through the contact glass. A reference member is disposed at a location different from the image reading location on the contact glass. A moving mechanism relatively moves the line image sensor and the reference member so that the line image sensor can alternatively read the original conveyed to the image reading location and the reference member. A drive section externally drives the moving mechanism to move the line image sensor and/or the reference member.

Abstract:
An electric storage apparatus has a plurality of electric storage stacks placed in line in a second direction (Y direction). Each of the electric storage stacks has a plurality of electric storage elements placed in line in a first direction (X direction) and partition plates each placed between two of the electric storage elements adjacent to each other in the first direction. The electric storage stack is restrained by a restraint unit in the first direction. In adjacent two of the electric storage stacks, two of the partition plates adjacent to each other in the second direction have coupling portions fixed to each other in a plane orthogonal to the first direction and capable of relative movement in the first direction.
