摘要:
A counter control device for an electrophotographic copying machine of a type having a preset counter device is selectively operable in one of a multi-copy mode wherein a copying operation is repeated to produce a plurality of copies while copying papers which are to have an image affixed thereto are automatically fed one at a time and a manual feed mode wherein the copying operation is carried out by the use of copying papers which are to have an image affixed thereto and which are fed manually one at a time. The counter control device includes a counter for counting the number of copies being made or left unfinished each time one cycle of the copying operation is completed. The counted value is displayed by a display unit which is also operable even when the machine is set to operate in the multi-copy mode.

In an electric safety switch circuit for use in apparatus having at least one safety switch for detecting at least one abnormal condition of the apparatus, switching elements are connected between a power source and the apparatus. The voltage of the main power source is transformed to a lower voltage and the switching elements are opened or closed by control circuitry in the low voltage circuit. The at least one safety switch is connected to the voltage transformer and the control circuitry such that the actuation of the at least one safety switch upon detection thereof of an abnormal condition actuates the control circuitry to open the switching elements and disconnect the apparatus from the power source.In one embodiment a primary switch is interconnected between the power source and the electric safety switch circuit, and in a modified embodiment the primary switch is connected in the electric safety switch circuit itself. The reduction in the voltage and current in which the primary switch and/or the at least one safety switch are interconnected results in improved reliability, durability, and operating life of the electric circuit as well as providing commensurate decreases in the cost of the electric circuit.

A system smoothly performing information processing is realized by dynamically making a decision, when it becomes necessary for an agent currently located at a platform to make use of another platform, with regard to whether to cause the agent to move to the other platform or cause the agent to cooperate with another agent that exists at the other platform. The dynamic decision is made in response to situations, resulting in enabling the unified utilization of mobile and stationary agents. The decision of using either movement or cooperation is typically made based on platform information and agent information. Even if planning changes the plan of an agent and regardless of what agent is using which platform's resources, it is possible to easily establish whether movement or cooperation is to be used, based on the platform profile and agent attributes. Such a system can perform information processing in response to changing situations.

摘要:
A copying machine capable of operating in the divisional copying mode in which first and second documents, such as the successive pages of an open book, placed on the contact glass are copied on different recording medium surfaces, respectively. The copying machine is provided with copying condition setting means capable of individually setting different copying conditions, such as copied image density, for the first and second documents, respectively. The first document and the second document are scanned under the copying condition set for the first document and under the copying condition set for the second document, respectively, and the first and second documents are copied on different recording medium surfaces, respectively.

A copying machine having the capability of reproducing an image at different magnifications from either a stored or calculated magnification ratio is provided. The size of the original and the size of the various copying papers available are calculated to determine an optimum magnification ratio. A preset value of optical magnification ratios can be provided within the copying machine. A controller can determine whether the calculated magnification ratio can be utilized within the preset predetermined range of values and the corresponding control of the copier machine can be effected in accordance with that decision.

There is disclosed an image density control apparatus for copying machines in which an area of a pattern image that is formed by projecting a reference pattern through an optical system is limited to a constant area irrespective of the copy magnification. Then the pattern image is developed and its toner density is detected to serve for controlling the image density. Accordingly, the image density is controlled with accuracy, irrespective of the copy magnification.

A software component library management system is provided, which can effectively support both a component utilization user and a component management user in carrying out their business tasks. The component management tool 6 includes a component retrieve/pickup function unit 10 and a component administration/registration function unit 20. The component administration/registration function unit 20 is adapted to make registrations of attribute information on software components stored in the component database 5, such as relation information items representing relations between the software component and other software components. The component retrieve/pickup function unit 10 can retrieve and pickup a batch of software components related to a specific software component, based on the relation information items. The relation information item includes a slave link used to identify a slave component which a certain software component uses (slave information item), and a master link used to identify a master component by which a certain software component is used (master information item).

A planning means generates a plan to be executed by agents on a node. In the case where the plan generated uses an uncertain knowledge required to be processed in other nodes, a judging means judges the communication line connecting the node and a network is low or high in reliability. In the case where the reliability of the communication line is low, an agent management unit moves the agent for executing the plan to another node for processing the uncertain knowledge. In the case where the reliability of the communication line is high, on the other hand, a cooperation protocol realization means requests an agent on another node to process the uncertain knowledge. An agent execution means executes the plan generated.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus that is capable of providing various copy ratios includes an original table that can receive an original document from an image carrier. The original is then illuminated, and a focusing lens system is capable of focusing reflected light from the original document onto a photosensitive member. The focusing lens system is movable. A drive assembly can cause relative movement of the original and a light system for illuminating the original, while a second drive member can vary the distance from the original to the focusing lens system whereby the image stays within the fixed focal length of the optical system while accommodating the speed necessary for a specified copy ratio.
