A robot includes a first arm and a second arm. The robot molds a box body including a first plate body, a second plate body, a third plate body, and a fourth plate body, the first plate body and the second plate body being coupled in a first part, the second plate body and the third plate body being coupled in a second part, the third plate body and the fourth plate body being coupled in a third part, and the fourth plate body and the first plate body being coupled in a fourth part.

Robot and control method for robot

An attaching and detaching device that detachably attaches two structures includes a base fixed to one structure of the two structures and formed in a tabular shape, one or more engaging members supported by the base movably along a surface direction of the base and configured to engage with the other structure, an urging member configured to urge the engaging member toward an engaging direction in which the engaging member engages with the other structure, and a releasing mechanism including an operation lever configured to perform operation for moving the engaging member in a direction opposite to the engaging direction and releasing an attached state in which the two structures are attached to each other.

Attaching and detaching device and robot

A first irradiation section has a light source and an emitting member. The light source generates radiation, and the emitting member is located between a first irradiation point and a virtual plane that extends through the edge of a nozzle surface closest to the first irradiation section tangentially to a curved surface. The radiation generated by the light source goes out through the emitting member. A control section controls a transportation speed in such a manner that ink dots formed at a dot formation point should move to the first irradiation point in a second time period that is equal to or shorter than a first time period. The first time period is the time period from the time immediately after the ink dots are formed to the time when the diameter of the ink dots reaches twice the nozzle pitch.

Image recording apparatus

To reduce the tendency of glossiness to vary according to the ink ejection quantity, a printing device includes a color ink head for ejecting color ink to a medium, a clear ink head for ejecting transparent clear ink to the medium, and a controller for controlling ejection of the clear ink so that the clear ink is ejected to a region in which an ejection quantity of the color ink per unit area of the medium is less than a predetermined quantity, and the clear ink is not ejected to a region in which the ejection quantity of the color ink per unit area of the medium is greater than the predetermined quantity.

Printing device and printing method

To make it possible to easily provide printed matter with varying degrees of gloss, a printing device includes a head for ejecting a photo-curing ink to a medium, a photo-irradiation device for radiating light to the photo-curing ink ejected on the medium and curing the photo-curing ink, and a controller for causing an ejection and curing operation to be performed for ejecting the photo-curing ink and subsequently radiating the light to cure the photo-curing ink, the controller being configured so that when an image having a first degree of gloss is formed, the image is formed by a first number of ejection and curing operations, and when an image having a second degree of gloss lower than the first degree of gloss is formed, the image is formed by a second number of ejection and curing operations greater than the first number.

A printing system includes a client apparatus which deals with printing data and a server apparatus which is connected to the client apparatus to communicate therewith. The client apparatus includes: a correction data request transmitting unit which requests the server apparatus to transmit correction data used for correcting the printing data; a correction data receiving unit which receives predetermined correction data transmitted; a billing information receiving unit; and a billing unit which performs a predetermined process on the basis of the billing information received by the billing information receiving unit. The server apparatus includes: a correction data request receiving unit; a correction data acquiring unit which acquires, from a correction data storage unit, predetermined correction data corresponding to the request to transmit the correction data received by the correction data request receiving unit; a correction data transmitting unit; a charge calculating unit; and a charge notifying unit.

There is disclosed a grid system selection supporting device comprising: a storage unit that stores use histories for a plurality of grid systems; and an extraction unit that extracts at least one of the plurality of grid systems, based on the use histories.

Grid system selection supporting device, grid system selection supporting method, and storage medium

An image display system includes: a storage section that stores plural image data sets and layout information indicating layout of one or plural sub images forming, as a whole, a background image behind a main image; a main image select section that selects one image data as a main image data set expressing a main image, from the plural image data sets; a characteristic specify section that specifies a characteristic of the main image data set selected by the main image select section; a sub image extract section that extracts, as one or plural image data sets each expressing a sub image, one or plural image data sets each having a characteristic making a relationship with the characteristic specified by the characteristic specify section, among the plural image data sets stored in the storage section except the main image data set, whereby the relationship satisfies a predetermined condition; and an image display section that displays the main image selected by the main image select section and the one or plural sub images extracted by the sub image extract section, in accordance with the layout information stored in the storage section.

Image display system and server device

The invention provides a layout-rule generation system suitable for reflecting the layout of an existing document to the result of automatic layout. A layout unit can generate a layout rule on the basis of the positional relationship of at least two of multiple split regions in an electronic document and generate a layout template on the basis of the electronic document and register the generated template in a template registration DB in association with the generated layout rule. The layout unit can select layout elements from a layout-element registration DB and arranges the selected layout elements in the layout region according to the layout rule and the layout template generated for the same electronic document.
