Each power receiving terminal of the plural segmented electrodes is disposed such that part of a region of the power receiving terminal of each segmented electrode overlaps, in the predetermined direction, but does not contact part of a region of the power receiving terminal of the segmented electrode that is adjacent thereto. | 01-01-2009 |
20090073143 | Content management system - A contents management system includes a writing device and a management device. The writing device includes a writing section, an image retaining section, a judging section and a control section. The writing device writes a content image onto electronic paper which displays and retains an image in a no-power state and is configured to rewrite the image. And the management device includes a management section, control section and an update section. The management device manages content to be written onto and displayed on the electronic paper. | 03-19-2009 |
20090083329 | Content management system and computer readable medium - A content management system includes a conversion a section, a display data storing section, a field section, an operation section and a management section. The conversion section converts content data into display data which is to be written into an electronic paper. The display data storing section stores the display data. The field storing section stores field data which includes identification information of a first user belonging to a field and identification information of the display data. The operation section accepts a request from a second user. The management section that allows, when the identification information of the first user contained in the field data coincides with identification information of the second user contained in the request accepted by the operation section, the display data indicated by the identification information contained in the field data to be written into the electronic paper. | 03-26-2009 |
20090085930 | WRITING CONTROL SYSTEM - A writing control system includes a display holding medium, a reading unit, an identifying unit, a control unit and a writing unit. The display holding medium includes a display section capable of displaying and holding an image in a no-power state and a storage section having a storage area for storing information that identifies an electronic document associated with it. The reading unit reads the information from the storage section when the display holding medium is located in a predetermined position. The identifying unit identifies the electronic document associated with the display holding medium, based on the information read from the display holding medium. When the electronic document associated with the display holding medium is not identified, the control unit performs control so that a page image, which has not been written, of an electronic document, which is used in last image writing, is set as a writing target. | 04-02-2009 |
20090153496 | WRITING APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC PAPER SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A writing apparatus includes: a detecting unit; a reading unit; a writing unit; a display; a first controlling unit; a second controlling unit; and a third controlling unit. | 06-18-2009 |
20090184944 | OPTICAL WRITING IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, CONTROL DEVICE FOR OPTICAL WRITING IMAGE FORMING DEVICE - There is provided an optical writing image forming device including: a positioning section positioning an optical writing display medium including a pair of electrodes with at least one of which formed by a group of plural sub-electrodes, a display layer, and a photoconductor layer; a display layer initialization section applying an initialization voltage between the pair of electrodes and irradiating initialization light over the entire region of the photoconductor layer; an optical writing section; a head position identification section; and a writing information erasing section, based on information identified by the head position identification section, erasing in a time-series writing information in the display layer corresponding to the group of the plural sub-electrodes by selecting the sub-electrodes in sequence so that an image writing head does not obstruct light emitted from the initialization light source while the image writing head light source is being returned to a standby position. | 07-23-2009 |
20090245067 | OPTICAL WRITING DEVICE AND OPTICAL WRITING METHOD - An optical writing device performs writing on an exposure region of a light writing display medium. The optical writing device includes an accommodation section, a light irradiation member, a voltage application member, a medium conveyance member and control means. The control means performs control for: applying voltage with the voltage application member to a first medium; the light irradiation member irradiating the light bearing image information and moving a first distance in the first direction over the first medium; the voltage application member applying voltage to a second medium; the light irradiation member irradiating the light for image erasure onto the second medium and moving a second distance in the second direction over the second medium; and, simultaneously the movement of the light irradiation member in the second direction, the medium conveyance member conveying the first medium. | 10-01-2009 |
20090255985 | System for writing information and method of writing information - A medium writing apparatus obtains information to be written onto a recording medium, converts the information into a suitable writable format, and then writes the converted information onto the recording medium. An ID obtaining section obtains a medium ID from the recording medium, or through an input by the user. The medium ID and information indicating the place of the written information are sent to a server, and then stored as index information correlating them with each other. When the information written onto the recording medium is to be used at a later timing, the medium ID is identified, and the index information is obtained from the server. Therefore, the original information can be obtained so as to be easily reprocessed or reused. | 10-15-2009 |
20100195130 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus includes a recording-medium stacking portion, a recording-medium ejection portion and a suctioning/exhausting unit. The recording-medium stacking portion is provided in a body portion or an upper portion of the image forming apparatus. The recording-medium stacking portion stacks recording media on which respective images are formed thereon. The recording-medium ejection portion ejects the recording medium in a recording-medium ejection direction to the recording-medium stacking portion. The suctioning/exhausting unit is located with respect to the recording-medium stacking portion in a direction, which is perpendicular to the recording-medium ejection direction and parallel to a surface of the recording medium staked on the recording-medium stacking portion. The suctioning/exhausting unit suctions air emitted from the recording medium, which is ejected from the recording-medium ejection portion onto the recording-medium stacking portion. The suctioning/exhausting unit exhausts the suctioned air through a filter. | 08-05-2010 |
