| 20090161954 | PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A processing apparatus processes input pixel data by referring to pixel data of peripheral pixels. The processing apparatus divides an input image in a first direction, inputs pixel data of a divided image divided in the first direction in a second direction crossing the first direction at a right angle, and memorizes the inputted pixel data. When a pixel to be referred to for processing the memorized pixel data is not included in the divided image, the processing apparatus outputs pixel data of the reference pixel based on the memorized pixel data, and processes the memorized pixel data by referring to the pixel data of the reference pixel. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20100235609 | RING-PATTERN BUS CONNECTED INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - In an information apparatus including a plurality of processing circuits connected to a ring bus, when processing speeds (throughput) of processing circuits are different or an amount of data in the processing circuit is increased or decreased, deadlock can occur or the throughput can be decreased in the ring bus. In order to solve this problem, a stall state of other processing unit is detected from a packet acquired from the ring bus and a packet is restricted from being newly generated by the processing circuit nor transmitted therefrom when other processing unit is in the stall state. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100241826 | DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS, DATA PROCESSING METHOD AND PROGRAM - A data processing apparatus can reduce an occupancy rate of a ring bus by suppressing occurrence of a stall packet, and can change a processing sequence. In the data processing apparatus, a buffer is provided in each communication unit connecting the ring bus and the associated processing unit. Transfer of data from the communication unit to the processing unit is controlled by an enable signal. Consequently, occurrence of a stall packet is suppressed. Accordingly, frequency of occurrence of a deadlock state is reduced by decreasing the occupancy rate of the ring bus. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100281237 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - In an information processing apparatus in which data processing is performed in a predetermined sequence by processing modules connected to a ring bus, if an amount of data generated by input data in the ring bus is not considered, the data amount exceeds an amount of data that can be held by the processing modules on the ring bus, and a data collision often occurs, so that processing efficiency of the ring bus deteriorates. An amount of data input into the ring bus is controlled so that the total sum of data amounts output to the ring bus from processing units used for processing does not exceed a maximum amount of data that can be held by the processing modules on the ring bus. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100303090 | DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS USING RING BUS, DATA PROCESSING METHOD ANDCOMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - In an apparatus connected to a ring bus, deadlocks and degradation in effective efficiency of the ring bus could occur when a plurality of data processing streams are input or a case when the amount of data inside a processing circuit increases/decreases is present. To solve this, degradation in processing efficiency is minimized by making a working speed of the ring bus faster than the working speed necessary for data processing to reduce occasions for suppression of data output by data moving around the ring bus. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110087863 | DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS HAVING A PARALLEL PROCESSING CIRCUIT INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF PROCESSING MODULES, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - In an apparatus which includes a plurality of processing modules connected via a ring-shape bus, if a plurality pieces of pipeline processing to be processed in a different order is allocated to a plurality of processing modules, the transfer efficiency may decrease when an amount of data transferred from one of the processing modules to a post-stage module exceeds a processing capacity of the post-stage module. Accordingly, a module positioned on the preceding side in the pipeline processing controls a transmission interval of processed data so that the post-stage module can receive the data processed by the preceding module. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20080239037 | INK TANK AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - An ink tank includes an ink containing chamber configured to directly contain ink, a supply port configured to supply the ink from the ink containing chamber to a recording head, a capillary member disposed in the supply port to hold the ink, and a sealing member configured to cover the supply port. An air volume (V) of a space constituted by the capillary member and the sealing member, an ink volume (Vi) held by the capillary member, and a maximum volume (Vexp) when air expands in the space accompanying environmental fluctuation of the ink tank, satisfy Vi≧Vexp−V. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090244217 | INK CONTAINER AND INK JET RECORDING SYSTEM - An ink container for retaining ink includes an ink containing body, an elastically displaceable supporting member, a light emitting portion, a light receiving portion for receiving light from the light emitting portion, a display portion for displaying the received light, and a light guide portion for optically connecting the light receiving portion and the display portion so as to guide the light received by the receiving portion to the display portion. The supporting member at least partly functions as the light guide portion. The light receiving portion is located, with a gap with respect to the light emitting portion, so as to cover the light emitting portion. The light receiving portion approaches the light emitting portion when the supporting member approaches the ink containing body by being subjected to urging toward the ink containing body. The light receiving portion moves apart from the light emitting portion when the supporting member moves apart from the ink containing body by being released from the urging toward the ink containing body. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100020141 | INK TANK AND RECORDING APPARATUS - An ink tank includes a stirrer supported in a freely moveable manner near an inner wall of an ink storage chamber. When the stirrer moves closest to the inner wall, a predetermined gap is formed between opposing surfaces of the inner wall and the stirrer. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100053280 | INK TANK - An ink tank containing ink including a pigment component effectively prevents a problem that an ink having a higher concentration and including a sedimentary pigment is led out, even in a case where the ink tank is left unused on a printing apparatus for a long time. To this end, an ink leading-out port placed in an ink containing chamber, and used to supply the ink to a printing head is located higher than a lowermost portion of the ink containing chamber, and is also formed in an inclined surface inclined to a gravitational direction. Thereby, the sedimentary pigment slides the inclined surface, and thus is settled down in a position away from the ink leading-out port. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100171801 | LIQUID CONTAINER - A liquid container includes an air-tight liquid-storage chamber or reservoir, a movable member for agitating liquid, and a protrusion portion for supporting the movable member. The movable member and the protrusion portion are disposed in the liquid-storage chamber. The movable member includes a first end that is linearly movable along the protrusion portion and a second end that is free. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20110096128 | INK TANK AND PRINTING APPARATUS - An ink tank with a high volume efficiency and a printing apparatus which are capable of completely using up ink stored in the ink tank. A meniscus holding force (Pm | 04-28-2011 |

| 20100000527 | INHALER - A user inhales medicine ejected from the medicine ejecting section of an inhaler into the air flow duct of an air flow duct forming member through a hole. As the air flow duct forming member is taken off from the inhaler body, the medicine ejecting section is covered by a cap for protection. As the air flow duct forming member is fitted to the inhaler body, the cap is opened and a sensor recognizes the open state of the cap so that the air flow duct forming member is prohibited from being fitted to and taken off from the inhaler body by a claw that is secured to the air flow duct forming member. In this way, the medicine ejecting section is prevented from being damaged when the air flow duct is fitted to and taken away from the inhaler. | 01-07-2010 |
