A data communication device includes a storage unit configured to store transmission data in a transmission ring buffer area; a read-out processing unit configured to read out the transmission data from the storage unit; and a transmission and reception processing unit configured to transmit the read-out transmission data to an external network and receive a reception confirming notification for the transmitted transmission data. The transmission and reception processing unit is configured to control the read-out processing unit so that the transmission data to be transmitted is read out based on a storage position of last data of the transmission data stored in the transmission ring buffer area and a storage position of last data of the transmitted transmission data indicated by the reception confirming notification.

Device and method for data communication using a transmission ring buffer

A cartridge is adapted to be used in a printing apparatus having a mounting section provided with a lever and a terminal group. The cartridge includes a front surface, a rear surface, an upper surface, a lower surface, a circuit board, and a first convex section. The upper surface includes a concave section configured and arranged to allow a regulating section of the lever to be inserted in the concave section. The circuit board is electrically connected with the terminal group. The first convex section is configured and arranged to be guided in a groove provided in the mounting section. The circuit board, the first convex section, and the concave section are disposed in the upper surface in a plan view of the upper surface.

An adapter is mountable to a liquid consumption apparatus to connect an external source of liquid to the liquid consumption apparatus. The liquid consumption apparatus includes a liquid intake portion for taking liquid into the liquid consumption apparatus and a liquid catcher for catching inadvertently spilled or sprayed liquid, the liquid catcher being provided below the liquid intake portion. The adapter includes a liquid supply portion and an accommodation portion. The liquid supply portion is configured to connect to the liquid intake portion to supply the liquid from the external source to the liquid intake portion. The accommodation portion is located below the liquid supply portion. In a state where the adapter is attached to the liquid consumption apparatus, the accommodation portion accommodates at least a part of the liquid catcher.

Liquid consumption apparatus, liquid supply member, and liquid supply system

An attachment member is adapted to be mounted to a mounting section of a printing apparatus from an outside toward an inward direction of the printing apparatus. The mounting section extends from a connecting position of a printing material supply pipe arranged inside of the printing apparatus to the outside of the printing apparatus with a lever being disposed at a position closer to the outside. The attachment member includes a front surface and an upper surface. The front surface has a supply pipe insertion hole to which the printing material supply pipe is inserted. The upper surface intersects with the front surface. The upper surface includes a concave section formed thereon so that a regulating section of the lever is inserted into the concave section when the attachment member is mounted to the mounting section.

A liquid consumption apparatus, onto which a liquid supply member is mounted, includes a liquid delivery unit, a liquid accepting unit and an abutting section. The liquid delivery unit is configured to deliver a liquid from the liquid supply member. The liquid accepting unit is provided below the liquid delivery unit. The abutting section abuts against the liquid supply member. The liquid accepting unit is provided to the abutting section. In a state where the abutting section and the liquid supply member abut against each other, the liquid accepting unit protrudes out closer toward the liquid supply member than a surface where the liquid supply member and the abutting section abut against each other.

A method for microbiologically producing zeaxanthin at high concentration and low cost while suppressing production of gluconic acid is presented. Specifically, a method for producing carotenoids containing zeaxanthin by culturing a bacterium producing carotenoids containing zeaxanthin in a medium containing biotin is provided.

Method for producing zeaxanthin by fermentation

A cartridge includes a casing, a printing material containing portion, a printing material flow path and first and second insertion holes formed in a front face of the casing. A rod used for detection of the out-of-printing material state is inserted into the first insertion hole, and a printing material supply tube is inserted into the second insertion hole. The first insertion hole is located on the front face at a middle position between a first side face and a second side face of the casing.

A liquid container is adapted to be used in a printing apparatus having a mounting section provided with a lever. The liquid container includes a front surface disposed on a front side in an insertion direction to the mounting section, a rear surface facing the front surface, and an upper surface intersecting with the front surface and the rear surface. The upper surface includes a concave section configured and arranged to allow a regulating section of the lever to be inserted in the concave section when the liquid container is used in the printing apparatus. The concave section serves as a handle.

In a clutch mechanism, in a state where a suction capreaches a contact position being in contact with a liquid ejecting head, only the rotation of a third gearin one direction is transmitted to a third rotation shaft J. During at least one of a period in which the suction capmoves from the contact position to a separating position being separated from the liquid ejecting head and a period in which the suction capmoves from the separating position to the contact position, the rotations of the third gearin both directions of one direction and the other direction are transmitted to the third rotation shaft J
