| 20090189931 | LIQUID STORING DEVICE AND LIQUID STORING CARTRIDGE - A liquid storing device includes a storage unit that stores a liquid to be consumed and a rotation member inside the storage unit that rotates around a rotation axis. A blade member is installed to the rotation member to be movable in the axis direction of the rotation axis with respect to the rotation member and has a specific gravity smaller than that of the liquid. A detection member detects the blade member when the blade member is located vertically at a detection position. When the rotation member rotates in one direction, the blade member agitates the liquid while moving toward the lower side of a liquid surface of the liquid in the vertical direction along the axis direction in accordance with rotation of the rotation member. When the rotation member stops rotating, the blade member floats toward the liquid surface due to buoyancy of the liquid. | 07-30-2009 |

| 20090251520 | ULTRAVIOLET IRRADIATION DEVICE AND INK EJECTION DEVICE - An ultraviolet irradiation device includes: a light source which irradiates ultraviolet curable ink with ultraviolet rays; and a jetting port which jets gas to form a gas film facing the light source in an irradiation direction. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090322810 | FLUID EJECTING APPARATUS AND FLUID EJECTING METHOD - A fluid ejecting apparatus includes a rotatable drum that holds a medium on a periphery thereof, a head that ejects a fluid onto the medium held by the drum, a fixing portion that fixes the fluid ejected from the head onto the medium, an outer-radius measuring portion that measures an outer radius of the drum, an adjusting portion that adjusts a distance between the drum and the head, and a controller that causes the adjusting portion to adjust a distance between the head and the medium in accordance with a variation in the outer radius of the drum measured by the outer-radius measuring portion. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090322817 | FLUID EJECTING APPARATUS, AND FLUID EJECTING METHOD - A fluid ejecting apparatus includes a drum that rotates while holding a medium on its outer periphery, a head that ejects a fluid on to the medium held on the periphery of the drum, a fixing section that fixes the fluid ejected on to the medium by the head, a measuring section that measures a diameter of the drum, and a controller that varies an ejection timing of the fluid ejected from the head in accordance with variation in the diameter of the drum measured by the measuring section. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20110134199 | ULTRAVIOLET IRRADIATION DEVICE AND INK EJECTION DEVICE - An ultraviolet irradiation device includes: a light source which irradiates ultraviolet curable ink with ultraviolet rays; and a jetting port which jets gas to form a gas film facing the light source in an irradiation direction. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20090180938 | WASTE LIQUID PROCESSING DEVICE - Provided is a waste liquid processing device including: a carrier transporting a waste liquid attached thereto; an attachment portion attaching a liquid cured by irradiation of energy rays to the carrier; an irradiation portion irradiating the energy rays to the waste liquid attached to the carrier by the attachment portion so as to cure the waste liquid; and a removal portion removing the waste liquid cured by the irradiation portion from the carrier. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20090184988 | ROTARY-MEMBER CONTROL APPARATUS - A rotary-member control apparatus includes a rotary member that rotates while supporting an object on the outer curved surface of the member. A motor is supplied with current based on a current profile representing the magnitude pattern of current to rotate the rotary member. A detecting element detects a rotation state of the rotary member during rotation. A control unit generates a one-rotation current profile, representing the magnitude pattern of current corrected on the basis of the detected rotation state, corresponding to one rotation of the rotary member, and supplies corrected current to rotate the rotary member. When the length of the medium in the rotation direction, the length of the medium in the axial direction, or the type of the medium is changed, the control unit generates the one-rotation current profile before starting printing, and repeatedly supplies the corrected current to the motor to print the image. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090189947 | WASTE LIQUID PROCESSING DEVICE - Provided is a waste liquid processing device including: a waste liquid tank collecting a liquid cured by irradiation of energy rays as a waste liquid; an irradiation portion irradiating curing energy rays to a liquid level of the waste liquid contained in the waste liquid tank; and an external applying portion applying external force to at least one of the waste liquid tank and the contained waste liquid. | 07-30-2009 |

| 20080303815 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING BETWEEN VIRTUAL OBJECTS - A collision target map and a collision target LUT are generated for each pixel to be subjected to rendering as collision target information with recorded identification information for CG data rendering on the pixel, while carrying out rendering of colliding object group CG data. Then, collision target information corresponding to a rendering pixel is referenced while carrying out rendering of collided object group CG data. In a case in which the colliding object group CG data is contained in the collision target information, it is determined that collision detection should be carried out for a virtual object being rendered, and collision detection information is generated. Such collision detection information allows collision between virtual objects to be detected at high speed. | 12-11-2008 |
