Abstract:
A printer includes a processor; a thermal head driver circuit that drives a thermal head for printing on a printing medium; a motor driver circuit that drives a motor configured to convey the printing medium; and a power supply circuit that includes a capacitor and a first switching circuit to charge the capacitor, the power supply circuit supplying electrical power to the thermal head driver circuit and the motor driver circuit via the capacitor, wherein the processor, when stopping operation of the printer, performs a control process of discharging the capacitor via the motor driver circuit and the motor.
Abstract:
A method for forming a thermal transfer printing sheet, including (a) feeding a release sheet having a release surface; (b) transferring an image, which is to be thermally transferred and printed on a transfer medium, onto the release surface of the release sheet; (c) forming a thermoplastic resin pattern, which corresponds to the image as a transfer base material and which is to be colorless and transparent by heat and pressure, and transferring the thermoplastic resin pattern onto the release surface of the release sheet; and (d) fixing the image and the thermoplastic resin pattern onto the release surface of the release sheet in a film shape, through heat and pressure.
Abstract:
An erasable electrophotographic toner includes a binder resin, a near-infrared absorbing material, a decolorizing agent and an organic white pigment.
Abstract:
An image processing device includes an extraction unit, a judgment unit, a restoration unit and a specification unit. The extraction unit specifies a first same-color area having a color similar to a color of a pointer in a pre-pointed image of a subject not overlapped by the pointer to extract a pointer portion from a being-pointed image of the subject overlapped by the pointer on the basis of the first same-color area. The restoration unit restores a dividing portion of the pointer portion using a surrounding image of the dividing portion when the judgment unit judges that the pointer portion is divided. The specification unit specifies a pointed position pointed with the pointer on the subject on the basis of a shape of the restored pointer portion.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a data processing apparatus in which, merely by an arbitrary indicator being specified by a user from the array of indicators representing plural types of instructive information which is acceptable during the execution of an application, an operation allotted to the indicator is executed. In the present invention, a CPU recognizes a mark on a paper sheet specified by a user through the analysis of an image of the paper sheet photographed by a document camera, and after reading out a command corresponding to the mark with reference to a mark table based on the mark, instructs the currently executed application to perform an operation corresponding to the command.

Abstract:
A tape cassette stores a first medium having: a first base having a print surface for printing; and a first separator removably attached to a surface of the first base on an opposite side of the print surface; and a second medium having: a second base; and a second separator removably attached to the second base. The tape cassette includes a pressing member that is movable in a direction intersecting with a direction of a plane of the print surface, and the pressing member is disposed at a position of, when a pressing force is externally applied to perform bonding of the first medium and the second medium mutually, receiving the pressing force.
Abstract:
This invention provides a label forming apparatus including a release sheet having a release surface from which an adhered adhesive material is releasable, an adhesive material layer stacked on the release surface of the release sheet, a coat layer stacked on a surface of the adhesive material layer opposite to the release sheet, a label portion having a thermoplastic resin secured to a surface of the coat layer opposite to the adhesive material layer, and an edging portion provided on a surface of the coat layer opposite to the adhesive material layer and having a thermoplastic resin secured to a position spaced apart from the label portion so as to surround the label portion.
Abstract:
An apparatus control device includes: at least one processor; and at least one first memory that stores a program executed by the processor, in which the processor acquires input data based on at least one of acceleration and angular velocity generated by application of an external force to an apparatus, classifies a plurality of the acquired input data into a plurality of clusters by an unsupervised clustering method, acquires relationship data representing relationship between the acquired input data and the plurality of classified clusters, and controls movement of the apparatus based on the acquired relationship data.
Abstract:
A tape cassette stores a first medium having: a first base having a print surface for printing and first adhesive applied on an opposite side of the print surface; and a first separator removably attached to the first base via the first adhesive; and a second medium having: a second base; and a second separator removably attached to the second base. The tape cassette includes a pressing member that is movable in a direction intersecting with a direction of a plane of the print surface, and the pressing member is disposed at a position of, when a pressing force is externally applied to perform bonding of the first medium and the second medium mutually, receiving the pressing force.
