Abstract:
A printing apparatus includes a printing unit for printing visual information on a non-recording surface of a rotatably driven recording medium by discharging ink droplets. A control unit controls movement of the printing unit in a radial direction of the recording medium, and discharge timing of the ink droplets. The printing unit prints the visual information by multi-path printing by printing on a same radius position of the non-recording surface by discharging ink from different ink discharge nozzles. The control unit controls the printing unit so as to print with a first printing pattern having a first number of paths and a second printing pattern having a second number of paths. The first printing pattern is used on other locations of the non-recording surface and the second printing pattern is used when printing on an innermost periphery region of the non-recording surface.
Abstract:
A recording medium processing device includes a printing section capable of printing visible information on a non-recording side of a recording medium, a data processing section for retrieving print data in which one recording medium and visible information printed and/or to be printed on the non-recording side of the recording medium are associated with each other, and a print configuration section for determining a printing area of the visible information to be printed on the non-recording side of the one recording medium based on the print data retrieved by the data processing section.
Abstract:
There is provided a printing apparatus including a printing unit for printing visual information on a non-recording surface of a rotatably driven recording medium by discharging ink droplets; and a control unit for controlling movement of the printing unit in a radial direction of the rotatably driven recording medium, and controlling a discharge timing of the ink droplets discharged from the printing unit, wherein the printing unit includes a plurality of ink droplet discharge nozzles, arrayed in a line in the radial direction of the recording medium, for discharging ink droplets of different colors by the control of the control unit, and the control unit completes the printing of the visual information by reciprocating the ink droplet discharge nozzles for plural times in the radial direction of the rotatably driven recording medium.
Abstract:
An optical disc case, in which an optical disc is stored, wherein a face cover portion and a rear-face cover portion are connected so as to be rotated with the end portion side of each of the principal faces thereof as the center, and are configured so as to form a box-shaped appearance when the face cover portion and the rear-face cover portion are closed such that the respective principal faces of the face cover portion and the rear-face cover portion face each other, the case including: a protruding holding portion, configured to fit into a central hole formed in the optical disc to hold the optical disc, provided to the inner side of the principal face of the rear-face cover portion; and a booster antenna to which a first antenna and a second antenna are connected configured to relay a signal sent/received from one antenna to the other antenna.
Abstract:
A hologram judging apparatus includes a housing and first and second light sources attached to the housing and emitting reconstruction illumination light. In the hologram judging apparatus, the first and second light sources each include a wavelength component with a wavelength λ meeting the reconstruction condition of a Lippmann hologram, and any one of the first and second light sources is a light source making the reconstruction illumination light enter a hologram at an angle θref which is identical to another angle θref with respect to the normal in a plane of incidence, the other angle θref meeting the reconstruction condition of a Lippmann method.
Abstract:
A recording medium processing apparatus is disclosed. The recording medium processing apparatus includes: a head unit which traces a track formed on a recording surface of a recording medium and reads a data signal; a signal processing unit which detects positional information of the recording medium on the basis of the data signal; and a printing unit which prints visible information on a non-recording surface of the recording medium by referring to the positional information.
Abstract:
A disc recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a disc mounting unit to which a disc recording medium is removably mounted, the disc mounting unit rotating the disc recording medium; a print head which discharges an ink drop towards a label surface of the disc recording medium that is rotationally driven by the disc mounting unit; and a mist attracting unit which, by applying a voltage, attracts mist of the ink drop discharged from the print head, the mist attracting unit provided near the disc recording medium mounted to the disc mounting unit.
Abstract:
An optical disc recording medium is irradiated with laser light having a predetermined laser power to deform an irradiated portion of a substrate into a protruding portion. Since the substrate is deformed so as to have protruding portions, a reflecting layer arranged on the substrate is also deformed so as to have protruding portions. For a pit, the deformed state of a protruding portion allows to obtain a reproduced signal level equivalent to that in each land. For a land, the deformed state of a protruding portion allows to obtain a reproduced signal level equivalent to that in each pit. Since the deformed state of each protruding portion can be controlled on the basis of the power of the laser light for irradiation, pit-to-land deformation and land-to-pit deformation can be performed by setting the laser power. Thus, recorded data can be rewritten on the optical disc recording medium recorded with the data using a combination of pits and lands formed in the substrate.
