| 20110190644 | Living body pressing device, method of manufacturing same, and blood pressure measuring device - Provided are a living body pressing device which can perform effective pressing at both ends in the short-side direction of the device and is reduced in size, a method of manufacturing the living body pressing device, and a blood pressure measuring device. An air bag ( | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110181678 | THERMAL PRINTING MECHANISM, THERMAL PRINTER, AND THERMAL PRINTING METHOD - A thermal printing mechanism includes a head unit having a heating element; an energizing unit that energizes the heating element; and an energizing control unit that controls the energizing unit to energize the heating element for a total energization time set according to a color density of a pixel so that the higher the color density is, the longer the total energization time becomes. The energizing control unit divides the total time period into energization time units, based on printing speed; specifies energization time units for energization so that a sum thereof is equivalent to the total energization time; and performs control so that if the printing speed is lower than a first printing speed, the energization time units appear continuous, and if the printing speed is equal to or higher than the first printing speed, the energization time units do not appear continuous. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110173364 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An electronic device includes a first opening disposed in a casing; a power source connector disposed opposing the first opening and to which a detachable power supply plug that supplies power from a power supply unit is attached; a second opening disposed in the casing; and a support member by which at least one interface connector among various types of interface connectors for communication with an external apparatus can be attached at the second opening, where the support member covers and hides the power source connector if among the various types of interface connectors, an interface connector having a power supply terminal is attached. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20110164913 | PRINTER APPARATUS - A printing apparatus | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110142521 | PRINTER - There is provide a printer having a rotational driving mechanism in which a print sheet can be fed in both of forward and reverse directions and a platen can be securely supported without dropping off from a head holder. The printer contains a head unit | 06-16-2011 |
| 20100310294 | NEAR-END OF ROLL DETECTING APPARATUS FOR DETECTING NEAR-END OF ROLL OF RECORDING MEDIUM, AND PRINTER - To improve precision in identifying the amount that remains of a recording medium, an apparatus includes a paper holder that supports an outer circumferential surface of a recording medium that is biased downward in a vertical direction by the weight of the recording medium, such that a position of a center of the recording medium moves on a straight-line trace, associated with consumption of the recording medium; and a light-reflecting sensor that is provided at a predetermined position at a side face of the paper holder and senses displacement per unit time at a position facing the predetermined position of the recording medium that is rotated by being pulled out of the paper holder, associated with the consumption of the recording medium, where based on the displacement sensed by the light-reflecting sensor, a radius of the recording medium at the time the light reflecting sensor senses the displacement is calculated. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20100268100 | Body compressor and blood pressure measurement apparatus - A body compressor | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100247221 | PRINTER - A printer includes a fixed blade attached to a cover unit; a movable blade that faces a fixed blade, freely reciprocates relative to the fixed blade when the cover unit is closed and cuts the recording medium together with the fixed blade by overlapping the fixed blade during reciprocation; a movable blade driving motor that causes the movable blade to reciprocate; and a movable blade unit that includes the movable blade, the movable blade driving motor, and an accommodating unit accommodating the movable blade and provided at a printer main body. The printer further includes a mechanism that, when the movable blade protrudes from the accommodating unit and is stopped, widens a space over which the fixed blade and the protruding movable blade face each other before the movable blade driving motor accommodates the protruding movable blade in the accommodating unit, as initiated by operation of a cover opening lever. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100247217 | PRINTER - A recording medium accommodating unit | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100247215 | NEAR-END OF ROLL DETECTING APPARATUS FOR DETECTING NEAR-END OF ROLL OF RECORDING MEDIUM, AND PRINTER - A printer includes a recording medium accommodating unit that holds an outer circumferential portion of a recording medium wound in a roll, a printing unit that prints on the recording medium fed from the recording medium accommodating unit, a first detecting lever that is biased to abut a side aspect of the recording medium and that includes on a tip, a first protrusion that enters a space of a roll-core part in the center of the recording medium when the roll-core part is moved to a predetermined position by the weight of the recording medium as the recording medium is consumed, and a detecting switch that converts an action of the first detecting lever into an electric signal, where the first protrusion is provided on the first detecting lever being rotatable in a direction that the roll-core part moves to be detached from the recording medium accommodating unit. | 09-30-2010 |
