An inkjet recording apparatus includes a plurality of nozzles, a pressurizing element, a driver, a controller and a control circuit. The pressurizing element is provided for each of the nozzles. The driver drives the pressurizing elements. The controller generates image data indicating whether ink is ejected for each of the nozzles. The control circuit transmits ejection waveform data indicating a signal transmitted to the pressurizing element and the image data. After printing according to the image data transmitted to the driver is completed, in a non-printing state in which there is no image data to be subsequently printed, the control circuit transmits at least one of the image data indicating a blank sheet and the ejection waveform data in which the ink is not ejected, to the driver.

Inkjet recording apparatus

An inkjet head includes a back end part, a front end part, and a heating plate. The back end part includes an ink passage. The back end part is fed with ink and delivers the fed ink. The front end part is supplied with ink from the back end part. The front end part includes nozzles. The heating plate includes a heating element to produce heat by electricity. The heating plate is disposed between the back end part and the front end part. The heating plate conducts heat from the other side of plane so as to heat the front end part. The heating plate conducts heat from one side of plane so as to heat the back end part.

Inkjet head

Provided is an ink-jet head including: a back end portion; a front end portion which ejects the ink; a heating plate which is arranged between the back end portion and the front end portion, and which heats the back end portion and the front end portion; and a temperature detection device which is provided on the heating plate, and which outputs a value in accordance with a temperature of the front end portion, the temperature detection device being held in direct contact with the front end portion.

Ink-jet head

An inkjet recording apparatus includes a feeding-side motor, an inkjet recording unit, a winding-side motor, a feeding-side roll-diameter measuring unit, a winding-side roll-diameter measuring unit, and a motor drive controller. Based on a relationship between motor rotating speeds and roll diameters under conveyance of the recording medium at a specified conveyance speed, the motor drive controller determines a first rotating speed corresponding to a feeding-side roll diameter measured by the feeding-side roll-diameter measuring unit and moreover determines a second rotating speed corresponding to a winding-side roll diameter measured by the winding-side roll-diameter measuring unit to drive the feeding-side motor at the first rotating speed and moreover drive the winding-side motor at the second rotating speed.

Inkjet recording apparatus and inkjet recording method

An information processing apparatus includes a display section, a touch count determining section, a rotation angle detector, a rotation angle determining section, and an image processing section. The display section displays an object. The touch count determining section determines a touch count on the display section. The touch count is a number of touch points on the display section. The rotation angle detector detects a rotation angle of a touch action including multiple touch points on the display section as a rotation specification angle. The rotation angle determining section determines a rotation performance angle by which the object is rotated based on the rotation specification angle and the touch count. The image processing section rotates the object by the rotation performance angle.

Information processing apparatus for recognizing multi-touch operation by which object is rotated

An operation input device includes touch panel, depression time detecting portion, input determination portion, display control portion, sound control portion, vibration portion, and vibration control portion. Touch panel outputs a depression signal according to a depression time when an input region is depressed. The depression time detecting portion detects the depression time based upon the depression signal from the touch panel. Input determination portion determines input content according to the depression time detected by the depression time detecting portion. Display control portion outputs visual information, which corresponds to the input content determined by input determination portion, to a display portion of the touch panel. Sound control portion outputs sound corresponding to the input content determined by input determination portion. Vibration portion transmits vibration to touch panel. Vibration control portion vibrates touch panel by vibration portion according to a vibration pattern corresponding to the input content determined by input determination portion.

Operation input device, and information processing apparatus provided with the same

Image forming apparatus is disclosed. The developing portion is replenished with toner from a toner containing body by operating a toner feeding mechanism. The receiving portion receives a designation of switching to a low speed i.e. switching the rotation speed of the motor from the first speed to the second speed lower than the first speed. The measuring portion measures a value of a counter electromotive voltage generated in the motor by causing the motor to operate the toner feeding mechanism. The motor control portion causes the motor to rotate at the first speed until an absolute value of the value measured by the measuring portion is not larger than a predetermined first value, and causes the motor to rotate at the second speed after an absolute value of the measured value is smaller than the first value, in the case where the switching to a low speed is designated.
