Provided in one example is a method. The method includes generating, using a processor, data of a negative of an image to be printed on a print medium. The method includes determining, using the processor, a moisture profile of a print job, which print job includes the image and the negative, using data of the image and the data of the negative. The method includes generating, using the processor, printing instructions of the print job using at least the determined moisture profile. The method includes printing the print job on the print medium using at least the printing instructions.

An inkjet printer capable of suppressing temperature unevenness of a drying drum itself as much as possible having a printing part for applying ink to a medium before printing, a drying drum for heating and drying a medium after printing having the ink applied in contact with an outer circumferential face thereof, and a controller capable of individually controlling heating of a plurality of sections obtained by dividing the drying drum along a plane perpendicular to a shaft direction thereof. Each of the respective sections is mounted with a heater part capable of heating the corresponding section, and heating of the heater parts of all of the sections is continuously controlled individually by the controller.

An infrared (IR) light source drying apparatus (10, 100, 120) is disclosed as including a body (123), an airflow output device (14, 104, 122) for outputting an airflow from the body, and an IR lamp (108, 124) for emitting an IR light ray, the apparatus being without any heating element in the path of movement of the airflow through the body. The airflow outputted by the drying apparatus (10, 100, 120) and directed towards a target (T) is at the ambient temperature, and serves to cool the target. The present invention can provide waterproof functions when drying the target, operate with batteries and use significantly less power for powering the drying apparatus.

An ultraviolet curing apparatus includes a housing, a plurality of ultraviolet light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged in a length direction of the housing, and at least one shutter part coupled to the housing to be movable in the length direction, to cover at least a portion of the plurality of ultraviolet LEDs to limit an irradiation region of ultraviolet light emitted by the plurality of ultraviolet LEDs.

A drying device includes: a supporting section that supports a medium on which printing was performed; a conveying section that conveys, along a conveying region, the medium supported by the supporting section; a heat generating section configured to heat, over a width direction, the medium supported by the supporting section; a fix-supporting section configured to support the heat generating section fixing the heat generating section; and free-supporting section configured to support the heat generating section so that the heat generating section can expand and contract, wherein the fix-supporting section is located in a first lateral region that is a region outside the conveying region in the width direction, and the free-supporting section is located in a second lateral region that is a region outside the conveying region in the width direction and different from the first lateral region.

This application relates to a portable electronic device including a processor and an operational component assembly, the operational component assembly including a frame. The frame carries a sensor that is coupled to the frame, where the sensor is capable of (i) receiving an environmental stimulus, and (ii) subsequently, generating an environmental parameter based on the environmental stimulus. The operational components further include a speaker that includes a magnetic driver that is capable of generating a magnetic field in response to receiving the instructions, and a diaphragm that is capable of actuating in response to the magnetic field being generated by the magnetic driver. An opening is disposed at an external surface of the frame such that when an amount of moisture is present within the volume, the magnetic driver receives the instructions from the processor to generate a magnetic field that actuates the diaphragm so as to expel the moisture.

A conveying device includes a blower, a conveyor, and an upstream blower. The blower blows air to a sheet material. The conveyor includes a sandwiching unit to sandwich the sheet material, and conveys the sheet material to a blowing region of the blower. The upstream blower blows air toward a downstream side in a conveyance direction of the sheet material, from an upstream side of the blowing region in the conveyance direction of the sheet material to the blowing region.

A drying apparatus includes a drying chamber configured to be connected to a decompression section, and a moving section configured to move a target object in the interior of the drying chamber. With this structure, the pressure in the interior of the drying chamber can be reduced and the target object can be dried in the interior of the drying chamber, and thereby the drying efficiency of the target object can be increased.

A drying system (100) for agricultural produce (5) is disclosed, comprising heat emitting sources (3), placed over a continuous moving grain bed with uniform thickness and with a consistent PEG, so that the heat imparted are uniform over the agricultural produce (5) at any given passage point. The system (100) comprises conveyor belts (9), having passes (10) and each pass (10) is adapted to transit the agricultural produce. Heat emitting sources (3) are placed above each pass (10) of the conveyor belt (9), and the heat emitting source (3) is adapted to radiate heat onto the agricultural produce. The heat emitting sources (3) are strategically placed at uniform height over a flowing bed of agricultural produce (5) with controlled thickness to have a preset Produce to Emitter Gap (PEG), and are charged in controlled way to emit pre-determined intensity of radiation or pre-determined temperature setting to be imparted on the agricultural produce (5).
