摘要:
When forming an image, if there are not enough sheets remaining in a paper feed cassette to satisfy the image forming request, the image forming operation is not executed, and along with prompting the user to refill the paper, the paper feed cassette is pushed out towards an uninstalled state. The apparatus waits for a paper refill, and begins the image forming operation after that paper refill.

When a periodic pattern is not included in image data 210, a prediction error encoding unit 204 outputs the variable-length code of a prediction error quantization value 214 generated by prediction encoding as compressed data 215. When the periodic pattern is included in the image data 210, a periodic pattern encoding unit 208 outputs only information about the periodic pattern as the compressed data 215, while the output of the prediction error encoding unit is stopped. On the decompression side, while the copy instruction of a pixel value before one cycle from the compressed data is not detected, the decompression operation in a normal prediction encoding system is executed. When the instruction is detected, the pixel value one cycle before, internally stored is copied and outputted.

A diamond electrode includes a conductive silicon substrate having a plurality of pores. The diamond electrode also includes a conductive diamond covering the conductive silicon substrate. The inner wall surfaces of the plurality of pores are at an angle of 60° to 85° with respect to a substrate of the conductive silicon substrate.
摘要:
There are provided novel pyrimidine derivatives which has been fused with an aromatic heterocycle selected from thiophene, thiazole and pyridine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof; and a pharmaceutical composition comprising said compound as an active ingredient. These compounds exhibit excellent promoting activity on insulin secretion and activity against hyperglycemia. Hence, the pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds as active ingredients, based on these actions, are useful for treating and/or preventing insulin-dependent diabetes (type 1 diabetes), non-insulin-dependent diabetes (type 2 diabetes), insulin-resistant diseases, obesity, and the like.

An image compression device having a prediction unit for predicting a value of a compressing target pixel from peripheral values, and quantizing prediction error between a prediction value of the prediction unit and a value of an actual pixel in a predetermined quantizing step, comprising: a specific pixel level difference evaluation unit sequentially calculating the difference value between the level values as a sum of the prediction values corresponding to each of the compressed pixel immediately before the compressing target pixel and peripheral compressed pixels adjacent to the pixel and the quantization value of the prediction error, and evaluating the sameness of the difference value; and a quantization switching unit controlling the quantization in the quantizing step more precise than the quantizing step used when the difference value continuously indicates the same value as a result of the evaluation by the specific pixel level difference evaluation unit.

A document conversion and use system which converts a first structured document into a second structured document different in structure from the first structured document, comprising: a template storage unit storing a template indicating the structure of the second structured document; a structure specification unit for reading out the template from the template storage unit and causing a user to specify an element or an element content constituting the template; a correspondence definition specification unit for causing the user to define the correspondence definition specification indicating the correspondence between the element in the first structured document and the element in the template; and an unit for analyzing the template structure to specify the element or the element content specified by the structure specification unit, searching for the element defined by the correspondence definition starting from the element or the element content, and performing conversion processing according to the search result.
摘要:
The present invention provides an information processing method converting a format of a structured document, comprising: a first step copying, a first storage unit, information of a pre-converted first structured document sequentially by a predetermined amount beginning from the head; a second step adding start tags and/or end tags, and an identifier tag for identifying the aforementioned start and/or end tags so that the information copied to the first storage unit becomes one complete second structured document; a third step converting the second structured document built up in the first storage unit to a target format and outputting it to a second storage as a third structured document; and a fourth step removing the start tags and/or end tags and the identifier tag added to in the second step from the third structured document retained by the second storage unit and merging with a fourth structured document.
摘要:
A roller turning force generator is connected to a driving gear which is mounted on a shaft. The shaft is connected to offset roller assemblies disposed in an offset mechanism via connecting gears. The offset roller assemblies rotatably supported inside the offset mechanism are turned by a driving force transmitted from the roller turning force generator to discharge individual sheets of a printing medium in a sheet transport direction. The offset mechanism is linked to an offsetting force generator so that the offset mechanism can be shifted along a direction perpendicular to the sheet transport direction.
摘要:
The present invention provides a data compression method in which a plurality of consecutive characters of a data string to be compressed are set as a character string to be searched for. Bits of a bit string representing the set character string are allocated to at least two codewords. Thus, first and second searching codewords are generated. These first and second codewords are used as array addresses. Fist and second array tables are prepared, in which information on the past occurrence positions of the set character string is previously entered as the contents thereof. When the first and second codewords are generated from the character string to be compressed, the first and second array tables are looked up by using these codewords as the addresses of the arrays. When results of looking up these tables match with each other, it is found that the set character string occurred in the past. Thus, information on the past occurrence position information of the set character string is obtained according to the obtained array content. Then, this information is encoded, so that data compression is performed. Thus, the amount of memory needed for the tables is significantly reduced, while information on the past occurrence position of the set character string is obtained without reducing a searching speed.
