Abstract:
An instruction-set-simulator generating device that generates an instruction-set-simulator program for simulating an instruction execution process of a real central processing unit on a host central processing unit that differs from the real central processing unit, the instruction-set-simulator generating device comprises: an application-program reading unit that reads an application program that is executable on the real central processing unit; an execution-stage instruction conversion unit that converts a function of an instruction in the application program into at least one instruction (execution-stage instruction) for simulation on the host central processing unit; a fetch-stage instruction generating unit that generates at least one instruction (fetch-stage instruction) that simulates operation timing of an instruction fetch stage among pipeline stages of the real central processing unit prior to the execution-stage instruction; and an instruction-set-simulator program output unit that generates the instruction-set-simulator program based on the execution-stage instruction and the fetch-stage instruction; at least one of the execution-stage instruction conversion unit and the fetch-stage instruction generating unit generating a counter instruction for simulating an execution time of the real central processing unit.
Abstract:
A liquid discharge apparatus includes: a head including a nozzle from which a liquid is discharged; a cap configured to cover a nozzle surface having the nozzle; a first container configured to store a moisturizing liquid; a pump connected to the cap, the pump configured to generate a negative pressure in a space formed between the cap and the nozzle surface; a second container; and a waste liquid path connecting the cap and the second container, and the first container connected to the waste liquid path.
Abstract:
A liquid discharge apparatus includes heads to discharge a liquid; caps to contact and move away from the plurality of heads, respectively; individual drain passages communicating with the plurality of caps, respectively; at least one common drain passage communicating with at least two of the individual drain passages; suction devices provided in the individual drain passages, respectively; and a controller. Each of the individual drain passages is to allow and shut off communication between the cap and the common drain passage. The controller causes the individual drain passage to allow the communication between the cap and the common drain passage when performing capping and decapping of the head. The controller caps the sucking target with the cap after shutting off each individual drain passage communicating with the cap corresponding to the head that is not a sucking target.
Abstract:
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 using colloidal inorganic pigment ultrafine particles and a copolymer resin of vinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate as main components.
