| 20090120261 | DIE AND DIE DEVICE - A die body includes a die hole for punching a work. A core, including a discharge hole, which is in communication with the die hole, is provided in the die body. The core is provided with a plurality of fluid injection ports through which fluid is injected downward of the discharge hole. The die body is provided with inflow ports through which compressed fluid flows into the fluid injection ports. The core is made of resin. The discharge hole is tapered toward its upper side. An outer peripheral surface of the die body is provided with a peripheral groove which is in communication with the inflow ports. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20100013684 | AD converter and AD conversion method - An exemplary object of the present invention is to achieve both of high-speed operation by parallel processing and a simple configuration by sequential comparison processing, so as to realize high accuracy of AD conversion processing. An AD converter according to the present invention includes a parallel-type AD converting unit that generates an upper bit digital signal composed of a plurality of bits by parallel processing based on an input analog signal input from a predetermined input circuit, a sequential comparison type AD converting unit that generates a digital signal by sequential comparison processing based on a converted analog signal that is generated by converting the upper bit digital signal into an analog signal, and a reconversion controller that detects an indefinite bit included in the upper bit digital signal and reconverts the indefinite bit by the sequential comparison type AD converting unit. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100021195 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FIXING AN IMAGE - An apparatus and method for image fixing are disclosed. A fixing device includes a fixing member, a pressure member, a heater, and a pressure controller. The fixing member and the pressure member face with each other to form a nip. The heater heats a surface of the fixing member when the fixing member rotates. The pressure controller changes a pressure generated at the nip, according to an operation of the fixing device. | 01-28-2010 |
