20090035040 | Image forming apparatus - An image forming apparatus includes a circulating transfer path for transferring a sheet. The image forming apparatus is capable of forming images on both surfaces of the sheet by: transferring the sheet having an image formed on a first surface thereof along the circulating transfer path; and forming another image on a second surface of the sheet after the transfer. The circulating transfer path is utilized for securing time taken for the sheet having an image formed thereon to dry. | 02-05-2009 |
20090231389 | Ink Jet Printer and Printing Method - An ink jet printer comprising a conveyor belt unit | 09-17-2009 |
20100085395 | Inkjet image-forming apparatus and method for printing - An image forming apparatus including: a print-job controller configured to receive a print job and control a printing operation based on the received print job; an ink-ejection driver configured to output a driving signal on the basis of the print job; an ink ejector configured to eject ink onto a paper sheet on the basis of the driving signal outputted by the ink-ejection driver; and an ink-temperature measuring unit configured to measure an ink temperature. When the ink temperature measured by the ink-temperature measuring unit is equal to or higher than a first reference temperature, the ink-ejection driver outputs a driving signal of a first voltage. When the ink temperature measured by the ink-temperature measuring unit is lower than the first reference temperature and is equal to or higher than a second reference temperature that is lower than the first reference temperature, the print-job controller performs the printing operation as long as predetermined conditions are satisfied for suppressing lowering of print quality possibly caused by ink ejection based on a driving signal of a second voltage that is higher than the first voltage and the ink-ejection driver outputs the driving signal of the second voltage while the printing operation is being performed. | 04-08-2010 |

20120076562 | RECORDING APPARATUS - A recording apparatus includes a recording portion which executes recording on a medium, a feeding portion which feeds the medium to the recording portion, a discharge portion on which the medium on which the recording has been executed is discharged, a base portion which holds the recording portion, the feeding portion, and the discharge portion, an exterior member which covers at least a portion of the base portion, an information input portion which instructs to execute the recording, a pair of holding portions which are provided on the base portion, bridge the information input portion, hold the information input portion on the base portion, and a fixing mechanism which fixes the information input portion to the pair of the holding portions in an axial direction of the information input portion. | 03-29-2012 |
20120120461 | COMPLEX APPARATUS - A complex apparatus includes a recording device including a recording unit that executes recording on a medium; an image reading device, provided so as to be freely openable/closable with respect to the upper portion of the recording device via a hinge portion, including an image reading unit that reads an image; a first contact portion, provided in the image reading device, that makes contact with a housing of the recording device when the image reading device is in a closed state; a second contact portion, provided in the housing of the recording device, that makes contact with the first contact portion when the image reading device is in a closed state; and a third contact portion, provided in an apparatus frame that holds the recording unit, that makes contact with the housing of the recording device at the lower area of the second contact portion. | 05-17-2012 |
20130188001 | RECORDING APPARATUS - An ink jet printer includes an openable/closable scanner unit which is provided in an upper portion of a recording unit configured to execute recording on a sheet. A shaft is formed on a main frame which constitutes a base of the recording unit. The scanner unit is enabled to tilt in relation to the recording unit when the bearing provided to the scanner unit engages the shaft. A restricting portion is provided at a location opposing the outer periphery of the bearing. The restricting portion restricts the deformation of the bearing in a direction of expansion of an opening of the bearing within the range of tilt of the scanner unit. | 07-25-2013 |
20130188209 | RECORDING APPARATUS - A recording apparatus includes: an apparatus main body including a recording device that performs a recording operation on a medium; a scanner unit pivotably mounted on a top portion of the apparatus main body and configured to be openable and closable when the scanner unit is tilted; and an operation panel unit provided on the scanner unit so as to tilt together with the scanner unit. When the scanner unit is in a closed position, the operation panel unit defines a front face of the recording apparatus and a lower edge of the operational panel unit defines an ejection port that ejects the medium recorded by the recording device. | 07-25-2013 |

20140123639 | HYDRAULIC DRIVE SYSTEM - A hydraulic driving system includes a hydraulic cylinder with a cylinder tube and a cylinder rod, a main pump, a hydraulic-fluid path, a charge pump, a stroke position detecting unit, and a pump control unit. The hydraulic-fluid path forms a closed circuit between a main pump and the hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder rod expands or contracts depending on how hydraulic fluid is supplied and exhausted to and from first and second chambers. The charge pump replenishes hydraulic-fluid in the hydraulic-fluid path. The pump control unit performs flow-rate reduction control in which the pump control unit reduces a suction flow rate so that a suction flow rate of the main pump is equal to or less than a maximum discharge flow rate of the charge pump when the stroke position becomes closer to a stroke end of the cylinder rod than a prescribed reference position during the flow rate reduction control. | 05-08-2014 |
20140123847 | HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR - In a hydraulic excavator, a hydraulic cylinder drives a boom via a hydraulic fluid discharged from a first hydraulic pump. A first hydraulic circuit connects the first hydraulic pump and the hydraulic cylinder and forms a closed circuit therebetween. A hydraulic motor rotates a revolving upper unit with hydraulic fluid discharged from a second hydraulic pump. A second hydraulic circuit independent from the first hydraulic circuit connects the second hydraulic pump and the hydraulic motor. A motor hydraulic pressure reduction unit reduces the driving hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic motor when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition is a condition in which an operation of the boom operating member to raise the boom and an operation of the rotation operating member to rotate the revolving upper unit are conducted together and an operation amount of the boom operating member is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. | 05-08-2014 |
20140345265 | HYDRAULIC DRIVE SYSTEM - An operating state determining unit determines whether a hydraulic cylinder is in operation or not in operation. A discharge pressure reducing unit reduces the discharge pressure of a charge pump. A discharge pressure control unit controls the discharge pressure reducing unit when the hydraulic cylinder in not in operation to reduce the discharge pressure of the charge pump to a low pressure lower than a normal pressure. The normal pressure is the discharge pressure of the charge pump when the hydraulic cylinder is in operation. An accumulator is connected to a charge flowpath. A one-way valve is disposed between the accumulator and the charge pump. The one-way valve allows the flow of hydraulic fluid from the charge pump to the accumulator and prohibits the flow of hydraulic fluid from the accumulator to the charge pump. | 11-27-2014 |
