The present invention pertains to a combined machining equipment for steel tubes, and a machining method is of a small size, can easily be moved, and is capable of not only flaring a steel tube, but also grinding a flared surface, forming a groove, and peeling off a lining. A main shaft () is rotatably mounted on a slide frame () slidable with respect to a common mount (), and a second machining head () is mounted on a flange on the distal end of the main shaft (). An auxiliary shaft () is slidably disposed in the main shaft () for rotation therewith. A first machining head () is mounted on a mount base () on the distal end of the auxiliary shaft (). When the main shaft () is rotated and moved back and forth and the auxiliary shaft () is moved back and forth with respect to the main shaft (), the first machining head () spreads the tip end of a steel tube () held by a steel tube holding apparatus () to a first position, and the second machining head () spreads the tip end of the steel tube () to a predetermined flanged position, thus flaring the tip end of the steel tube ().

There are provided a tape printing apparatus that is capable of enhancing the operability thereof in inputting text data by providing an edit area aside from a text data input area where text data can be input, on a display screen, and a data input processing method therefor. The inputted data is recognized in a manner distinguishing between data within the maximum printable number of lines and data in excess of the maximum printable number of lines. Of the inputted data, there are displayed not only the data recognized to be within the maximum printable number of lines but also data of a predetermined number of lines in excess of the maximum printable number of lines.

Tape printing apparatus and data input processing method therefor

There is provided a tape printing apparatus and method that enables reliable discharge of a cut-off tape strip from the apparatus. Print data to be printed is input, and a tape length tp (tp>0) is calculated based on the input print data. Then, a tape length t is set based on the calculation tape length tp, and a tape is cut to the set tape length t. In the step of setting the tape length, it is determined whether or not the calculation tape length tp is smaller than a length (a&plus;x) obtained by adding a predetermined length x (x&gE;0) to a length a (a&gE;0) between a cutting position at which the tape is cut through and a position of an exit via which a cut-off strip of the tape is discharged out of an apparatus. Then, when it is determined that tp<(a&plus;x) holds, the tape length t is set such that t&gE;(a&plus;x) holds, whereas when it is determined that tp&gE;(a&plus;x) holds, the tape length t is set such that t&equals;tp holds.

Tape printing apparatus and method

There is provided a printing apparatus and method which is capable of printing based on internal data stored within the apparatus or external data inputted from an external storage device, and at the same time capable of setting the enabling/disabling of an automatic power-off function. A tape printing apparatus has a keyboard for entering data indicative of characters and various commands. A RAM stores the data entered via the keyboard, as the internal data. The external data stored in a personal computer is inputted into the tape printing apparatus via a cable. The printing mode is sets to either an internal printing mode in which printing is performed based on the internal data stored in the RAM or an external printing mode in which printing is performed based on the external data inputted from the personal computer via the cable. A printer block performs printing on a tape in the set printing mode. A CPU determines ON/OFF setting of an automatic power-off function of automatically turning off power. When a predetermined time period has elapsed without any input via the keyboard or from the personal computer after the automatic power-off function is determined to be on, the power is automatically turned off in response to a command from the CPU.

A seal producing apparatus includes file storing and recalling procedures wherein calling of a file is permitted only when a seal loaded in the seal producing apparatus is a seal type having a shape and size suitable to contain the allowable number of lines and the allowable number of characters per line in the seal type associated with the file to be called and when the size of the seal type of the seal loaded in the seal producing apparatus is equal to or larger than the size of the seal type associated with the file to be called.

Seal producing apparatus

The character display apparatus according to the present invention has a constitution including (1) character display means having at least a character segment in the shape of a character, and a background segment provided around the character segment and constituting a background of an outline character; and (2) display control means for performing on-off control of the character segment and the background segment, which constitute the character display means.

Character display apparatus and character input apparatus

There are provided a plate-making sheet and a printing device for printing on the plate-making sheet. The plate-making sheet is in the form of a strip and for being printed with stamp characters to be engraved on a stamping face of a stamp, in parallel with a process for making the stamp, for permitting checking of the stamp characters and for indication of the stamp characters on a back surface of the stamp. The plate-making sheet comprises a backing sheet, and an adhesive sheet laminated on the backing sheet and having a surface to be printed with the stamp characters. The surface of adhesive sheet is formed with a character check area to be printed with the stamp characters for permitting the checking of the stamp characters, and at least one indication character area to be printed with the stamp characters for the indication of the stamp characters. In the printing device, a printing mechanism prints stamp characters in a character check area and at least one indication character area. A feeding mechanism feeds the plate-making sheet to the printing mechanism. A sensor detects feed of the plate-making sheet to the printing mechanism.

Plate-making sheet and plate-making sheet printing device

There are provided a print image-forming device and device for forming print images and a printing apparatus incorporating the device. A basic image is created which has a plurality of elementary images including at least one fixed-sized elementary image and at least one variable-sized elementary image. A reduced image of the basic image is formed as the print image by reducing at least one of the at least one variable-sized elementary image of the basic image, when the basic image cannot be printed as the print image within the printing area.

In a system interconnecting inverter apparatus, an inverter for controlling power of an AC power system is coupled, via a coupling reactor, to the AC power system having a system voltage. A system phase signal indicating the phase of the system voltage is detected by a system phase detection circuit in real time. Another phase signal indicating the phase of the system voltage is detected by a comparison phase detection circuit with a predetermined delay time, and the detection result is temporarily stored in the circuit as a comparison phase signal. The system phase signal and the comparison phase signal are phase-compared by a stop circuit. When a phase difference between the system phase signal and the comparison phase signal exceeds a predetermined value, the stop circuit stops the operation of the inverter.
