A bookbinding device includes: a heater unit which applies a predetermined heat to a bookbinding tape by a heater so that a binding portion of a sheet bundle is pressure-bonded by melting an adhesive adhered to one surface of the bookbinding tape; a heater moving unit which moves the heater; a sheet bundle moving unit which moves the sheet bundle in a nipped state; and a control unit which controls the heater moving unit and the sheet bundle moving unit so as to perform a preliminary heating step in which the binding portion of the sheet bundle is heated by the heater in advance and heat-fixing step in which a bookbinding tape is heat-fixed to the binding portion of the sheet bundle by the heater while the bookbinding tape overlaps the binding portion of the heated sheet bundle.
Abstract:
A wiring trench is formed in an interlayer insulating film partway in the depth direction of the interlayer insulating film. A via hole is formed extending from the bottom of the wiring trench to the bottom of the interlayer insulating film. A capacitor recess is formed reaching the bottom of the interlayer insulating film. A conductive member is embedded in the wiring trench and via hole. A capacitor is embedded in the capacitor recess, including a lower electrode, a capacitor dielectric film and an upper electrode. The lower electrode is made of the same material as that of the conductive member and disposed along the bottom and side surface of the capacitor recess. A concave portion is formed on an upper surface of the lower electrode, and the capacitor dielectric film covers an inner surface of the concave portion. The upper electrode is embedded in the concave portion.
Abstract:
A sheet processing device in the form of an offset stacker, a sheet fence (103, 104) is provided on a side of sheets (S) to be processed stacked on a stack tray (3) opposite from a jogger (101, 102) so that the sheet fence accurately defines a final offset position of the sheets. When a transient offset position at which the sheets are stacked on the stack tray varies from one sheet to another, the side edges of sheets selected for offset stacking can be lined up without fail owing to the jogging action of the jogger and the supporting action of the sheet fence. A pair of joggers may be arranged on either side of the sheets, along with a pair of corresponding sheets fences on the opposing sides. The jogger and sheet fence on a same side may be supported by a common moveable frame (107, 108).
Abstract:
A print controlling device includes an acquiring unit, a dividing unit, a first determining unit, and a print data generating unit. The acquiring unit is configured to acquire original image data representing an original image having a size larger than a size of a recording sheet. The dividing unit is configured to divide the original image data into a plurality of sets of divisional image data that represents a plurality of divisional images. Each divisional image has a size same as the size of recording sheet. Each divisional image includes an image region and a margin region that is different from the image region. At least one border side is defined as a border between the image region and the margin region. Each border side has at least one partition line segments. The image region represents a part of original image. The original image consists of the image regions of the plurality divisional images. The image region has a colorant area to be printed with a colorant by a printing device and a blank area that is different from the colorant area. The first determining unit is configured to determine, if the colorant area abuts a border side of the at least one border side, whether or not a partition line segment of the at least one partition line segment abuts the colorant area in the divisional image based on the divisional image data. The print data generating unit is configured to generate print data by modifying each set of divisional image data. The print data represents a print image that is to be printed on the recording sheet by the printing device. The print data generating unit modifies, when the first determining unit determines that the partition line segment abuts the colorant area, the divisional image data such that at least part of the partition line segment is omitted in the print image. The print data generating unit modifies, if the colorant area does not abut a border side of the at least one border side, the divisional image data such that the at least one partition line segment is printed on the border side in the print image.
