A nail art printing apparatus having a receiving device for the placement of a nail or plurality of nails, the nail art printing apparatus being connectable to an electronic device. The electronic device has a user interface means being operably engagable with the nail art printing apparatus. The nail art printing apparatus being operable to apply a plurality of colours and/or designs to one or more natural and/or artificial nails.

A semiconductor apparatus is provided. The semiconductor apparatus includes a wafer chuck configured to hold a wafer, and a first nozzle configured to dispense first chemical liquid onto the wafer. The semiconductor apparatus also includes a second nozzle configured to dispense second chemical liquid onto the wafer at a first dispensing time after the first nozzle stops dispensing the first chemical liquid. The semiconductor apparatus also includes an image device configured to take images of the first nozzle and the second nozzle in sequence, and a processing module configured to analyze the images. The processing module adjusts the first dispensing time when a first defect image shows the first chemical liquid and the second chemical liquid existing in a space close to the first and the second nozzles and flowing to the wafer.

A printing system includes a printer and a terminal capable of wirelessly communicating with each other. The printer include a portable printer main body, a movement detection unit that detects a movement of the printer main body, and a first processor configured to transmit a first control signal to the terminal in a case where a first movement is detected by the movement detection unit, and transmit a second control signal to the terminal in a case where a second movement is detected by the movement detection unit. The terminal includes a display unit, a second processor configured to receive the control signals from the printer; and display a first operation screen on the display unit in a case where the first control signal is received, and display a second operation screen on the display unit in a case where the second control signal is received.
