| 20110242830 | VEHICLE LAMP - A vehicle lamp includes, within a lamp chamber formed by a lamp body and a front cover, a light source, a columnar light guide having an incident portion at the end thereof in the vicinity of the light source, and an annular reflecting portion arranged in the vicinity of the light source side of the incident portion. The columnar light guide guides incident light from the light source, which enters via the incident portion, and irradiates the incident light from a light-emitting portion on a front side. The annular reflecting portion reflects light with a large emission angle, which has not been able to directly enter the incident portion from the light source, toward the incident portion. The light source is arranged on a central axis of the annular reflecting portion. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110242831 | VEHICULAR LAMP - A light guide includes a first incident portion at an end side thereof near a light source, a stepped portion disposed on a rear surface side thereof in an axial direction and wholly reflects a portion of guided light, and a radiating portion disposed on a front surface side thereof in the axial direction that radiates the wholly reflected light forward. The light guide guides light that is incident through the first incident portion from front to back within the light guide. The stepped portion is a plurality of generally triangular prisms formed continuous in an extension direction, and has, in a cross section that follows an extension axis of the light guide and is parallel to a lamp optical axis, a long first projection surface that extends in the extension direction and a short second projection surface that forms an apex angle with the first projection surface. | 10-06-2011 |

| 20100030925 | PRINTER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A printer includes: a USB connector that is detachably connected to a USB interface forming a data communication channel through which data can be exchanged between the printer and an external device; a second connector that is constantly connected to a second interface that is provided independently of the USB interface and forms a data communication channel through which data can be exchanged between the printer and the external device; a USB connection detection section that detects whether the USB interface is connected to the USB connector; a signal channel selection section that receives a switch control signal from the USB connection detection section and switches a data communication channel from the data communication channel using the second interface through which data is exchanged between the printer and external device to a data communication channel using the USB interface; a signal conversion section that is provided between the signal channel selection section and second connector and coverts USB data signal into a data signal for the second interface and vice versa; and a USB controller that controls USB connection. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100231681 | PRINTING APPARATUS - In a printing apparatus, a dot head moves along a movement path which is orthogonal to a conveyance direction of a passbook, one end side of the head movement path is a speed-up area, a halfway part is a constant speed printing area, and the other end side is a slow-down area. A thermal head is disposed in a direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of a thermal sheet, and a width size in the orthogonal direction is not smaller than the printing area of the dot head. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100238253 | PAPER SHEET SENSOR ADJUSTING METHOD - In a state where a sheet exists, an current I is gradually increased. When an voltage V reaches a light receiving level Vx, the current I at the time is stored as I | 09-23-2010 |
| 20110057977 | MEDIUM DETECTING DEVICE, PRINTER HAVING THE SAME AND MEDIUM DETECTING METHOD - A medium detecting device including a conveying path configured to convey a plurality of mediums therethrough is provided. A plurality of sensors configured to detect at least one of the plurality of mediums disposed in a conveying direction of the conveying path is also provided. The plurality of sensors is arranged at intervals longer than a minimum length of at least one of the plurality of mediums. A control unit is configured to generate position information of the plurality of mediums based on output from the plurality of sensors, and the relationship between the sensors. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110215524 | MEDIUM PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A medium processing apparatus which corrects the tilt of a medium is provided. The medium processing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a conveyer configured to convey a medium along a conveying path, and a shutter located along the conveying path to block the conveyance of the medium. The medium processing apparatus further includes a detector configured to detect a tilt of the medium with respect to the shutter, and a shutter controller configured to control the shutter to unblock the conveyance of the medium when the detector determines that the tilt of the medium is corrected. | 09-08-2011 |
