| 20100028125 | Elliptic rubber stopper supply method and elliptic rubber stopper supply device - The present invention is to provide an elliptic rubber stopper supply method and device thereof, which can smoothly and steadily supply an elliptic rubber stopper to an assembling side of a rubber stopper without blocking a supply route with the rubber stopper. The elliptic rubber stopper supply device sprays alternately a gas on a rubber stopper, matches a minor axial direction of the rubber stopper to a spraying direction of the gas, and inserts the rubber stopper into an elliptic first hole in that condition. Also, the device includes first shape corrective portion for correcting a shape of the rubber stopper. The first shape corrective portion has a rubber stopper receiving portion and a pair of air outlets for spraying alternately a gas on both side surfaces of the rubber stopper. One of the air outlets is arranged on the one side of the rubber stopper receiving portion, the other is arranged on the other side thereof. Each the air outlet is offset in a rubber stopper axial direction and located. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100031613 | Thin-part feeding device - A thin-part feeding device is provided which is compact and efficient. The device has a funnel portion with a feeding opening at the bottom thereof, a take-out tube for taking out thin parts from the funnel portion, and a receiving portion with separate opening for receiving thin parts from the discharge opening. The receiving portion is movable, and the receiving opening is sized to receive only one thin part. The device is operative to repeat a state where the receiving opening faces the discharge opening, and a state where the receiving opening is away from the discharge opening to enable thin parts to be taken out from the receiving opening. The device also features a novel, posture-correcting portion to correct vertical posture of thin parts, a delivery portion for receiving posture-corrected thin parts, and a transporting portion as described. | 02-11-2010 |

| 20090213416 | Printing System and Information Processing Apparatus - A printing system includes an information processing apparatus, an image forming apparatus, and a printer driver storage device. The information processing includes a first printer driver to operate during preparation of general print data, the image forming apparatus prints based on print data, and the printer driver storage device stores a second printer driver to operate during preparation of specific print data having an instruction specialized for the image forming apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a printer driver acquisition unit acquiring the second printer driver, a printer connection detection unit, and a print data preparation unit preparing the print data using one of the printer drivers. The printer connection detection unit allows a user to select whether to acquire the second printer driver, allows the printer driver acquisition unit to acquire the second printer driver, and allows one of the printer drivers to correspond to the image forming apparatus. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100134826 | Image forming apparatus and image forming method - An image forming apparatus includes an information storage section, an operation section, an image condition information storage section, a comparison section and an operation control section. The information storage section stores image information and attribute information corresponding to the image information. The operation section has an instruction section through which a user inputs instructions for execution of a process on the image information. The image condition information storage section stores image condition information corresponding to the process. The comparison section compares the attribute information with the stored image condition information. The operation control section changes a state of the instruction section based on results of a comparison of the attribute information and the stored image condition information by the comparison section. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100245915 | IMAGE PRODUCING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, AND IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE - An image producing device by which image data that is produced by an image producing unit is written in an external memory medium, or by which image data is read from the external memory medium and written to a device main unit of the image producing device, the device main unit includes: a record unit configured to record first identification information of image data that is written in the external memory medium; a data storage unit configured to store image data that is recorded by the record unit; and a data operation unit configured to move image data from the external memory medium to the data storage unit based on the first identification information in the record unit. | 09-30-2010 |
