20100023005 | HIGH-FREQUENCY TREATMENT INSTRUMENT - A high-frequency treatment instrument that is used with high-frequency electric current supplied from a power source, which includes: a pair of forceps members connected with each other by a rotational axis; and an operation wire having a distal end portion which is rotationally connected to proximal end portions of the forceps members and a proximal end portion which is electrically connected with the power source, in which at least one of the pair of forceps members has a conductive electrode portion, and an insulating portion disposed so as to cover at least part of the electrode portion, the operation wire is electrically connected with the electrode portions, and a conductive outer surface of the forceps members, which includes a portion where the operation wire and the electrode portion are electrically connected, located closer to the proximal end portions of the forceps members than the rotational axis of the forceps members is covered by the insulating portion so as not to be exposed. | 01-28-2010 |
20100247215 | NEAR-END OF ROLL DETECTING APPARATUS FOR DETECTING NEAR-END OF ROLL OF RECORDING MEDIUM, AND PRINTER - A printer includes a recording medium accommodating unit that holds an outer circumferential portion of a recording medium wound in a roll, a printing unit that prints on the recording medium fed from the recording medium accommodating unit, a first detecting lever that is biased to abut a side aspect of the recording medium and that includes on a tip, a first protrusion that enters a space of a roll-core part in the center of the recording medium when the roll-core part is moved to a predetermined position by the weight of the recording medium as the recording medium is consumed, and a detecting switch that converts an action of the first detecting lever into an electric signal, where the first protrusion is provided on the first detecting lever being rotatable in a direction that the roll-core part moves to be detached from the recording medium accommodating unit. | 09-30-2010 |
20100247217 | PRINTER - A recording medium accommodating unit | 09-30-2010 |
20100247221 | PRINTER - A printer includes a fixed blade attached to a cover unit; a movable blade that faces a fixed blade, freely reciprocates relative to the fixed blade when the cover unit is closed and cuts the recording medium together with the fixed blade by overlapping the fixed blade during reciprocation; a movable blade driving motor that causes the movable blade to reciprocate; and a movable blade unit that includes the movable blade, the movable blade driving motor, and an accommodating unit accommodating the movable blade and provided at a printer main body. The printer further includes a mechanism that, when the movable blade protrudes from the accommodating unit and is stopped, widens a space over which the fixed blade and the protruding movable blade face each other before the movable blade driving motor accommodates the protruding movable blade in the accommodating unit, as initiated by operation of a cover opening lever. | 09-30-2010 |
20100310294 | NEAR-END OF ROLL DETECTING APPARATUS FOR DETECTING NEAR-END OF ROLL OF RECORDING MEDIUM, AND PRINTER - To improve precision in identifying the amount that remains of a recording medium, an apparatus includes a paper holder that supports an outer circumferential surface of a recording medium that is biased downward in a vertical direction by the weight of the recording medium, such that a position of a center of the recording medium moves on a straight-line trace, associated with consumption of the recording medium; and a light-reflecting sensor that is provided at a predetermined position at a side face of the paper holder and senses displacement per unit time at a position facing the predetermined position of the recording medium that is rotated by being pulled out of the paper holder, associated with the consumption of the recording medium, where based on the displacement sensed by the light-reflecting sensor, a radius of the recording medium at the time the light reflecting sensor senses the displacement is calculated. | 12-09-2010 |

20130317291 | TREATMENT SYSTEM AND ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM - This treatment system includes: a supporting portion; a first grasping member and a second grasping member supported by the supporting portion so as to approach and separate from each other; a needle member including a distal end portion which has a sharp distal end and punctures a tissue, and a proximal end portion continuous with the distal end portion; a holding portion mounted on the first grasping member and releasably holding the proximal end portion of the needle member; and a locking portion mounted on the second grasping member and locking the distal end portion of the needle member such that the proximal end portion of the needle member is removed from the holding portion when the first grasping member and the second grasping member are separated from each other from a position at which the first grasping member and the second grasping member approach each other. | 11-28-2013 |
20140233482 | TRANSMISSION DEVICE AND TRANSMISSION METHOD - A transmission device capable of reducing packet receiving errors and the number of retransmissions by improving error correction coding gain without increasing the amount of resources used in transmission. The transmission device ( | 08-21-2014 |
