Abstract:
A liquid supply device includes a first tank to store a liquid, a first pump to supply the liquid from the first tank to a liquid pan, as a first supply operation, a second tank coupled to the first tank, and a second pump to supply the liquid from the second tank to the first tank, as a second supply operation. The liquid supply device further includes circuitry configured to control the first supply operation and the second supply operation. The circuitry accumulates operation time of the first supply operation and starts the second supply operation at a start of the first supply operation under a condition where a cumulative operation time of the first supply operation is equal to or longer than a threshold.
Abstract:
A liquid applying apparatus includes a feeding container; first and second liquid-supply containers for supplying a liquid to the feeding container; a switch for switching a supply source between the first and second liquid-supply containers; a first storage for storing a supply start time of a supply operation; a second storage for storing supply information including a supply source or a supply route; a third storage for storing a liquid level in the feeding container at the supply start time; a fourth storage for storing a supply operation time of the supply operation; a controller that determines a condition of the liquid applying apparatus based on the supply operation time, and determines the supply source or the supply route as an inspection-required spot based on the supply information when the liquid applying apparatus is in a potentially-abnormal condition; and a fifth storage for storing the inspection-required spot.
Abstract:
A liquid-supply apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus supplies liquid to be applied onto a recording medium to a liquid-supply pan. The liquid-supply apparatus comprises a temporary-storage room arranged lower than a liquid surface of the liquid-supply pan, the temporary-storage room storing the liquid inside the liquid-supply pan by temporal evacuation, an evacuation line connecting the liquid-supply pan and the temporary-storage room, the evacuation line being a flow channel for the liquid during evacuation, an evacuation-line opening and closing member opening and closing the evacuation line, and a controller controlling an opening and closing operation of the evacuation-line opening and closing member. The liquid surface in the temporary-storage room is in a position lower than that of the liquid-supply pan. The controller controls the operation of the evacuation-line opening and closing member so as to fill the evacuation line with the liquid as an auxiliary operation just before the evacuation.
Abstract:
A bicycle electrical system diagnostic device is provided for a bicycle electrical system in which several electric devices are connected. The diagnostic device includes a connecting section and an electric device recognizing section. The connecting section is configured to be connected to and disconnected from the electrical system. The electric device recognizing section is configured to communicate with the electrical system and recognize any of the electric devices while the connecting section is electrically connected to anyone of the electric devices.
Abstract:
A lamp socket receives an LED lamp provided with an L-shaped pin having a contact piece and an extension piece extending from a tip of the contact piece. The lamp socket includes a socket body having an insertion hole at its front surface and a conductive plate. The conductive plate has one surface facing an axis of the insertion hole and a first space is formed between the other surface of the conductive plate and an inner surface of the socket body. A second space is formed between a bottom surface of the socket body and the conductive plate. A third space, or rotation space, is formed between the first space and the bottom surface. When the pin is inserted via the insertion hole and the LED lamp is rotated, the contact piece comes in contact with the conductive plate and the extension piece passes through the rotation space.
Abstract:
An image processing device includes an image acquirer for acquiring an image, a depth of field calculator for calculating an estimate representing a depth of field of an image based on collateral information of the image, an image divider for dividing the image into evaluation regions, and a blur evaluator for detecting a blur in each of the evaluation regions divided by the image divider, performing blur evaluation for calculating evaluation values for evaluating degrees of an out-of-focus blur or a camera/subject movement-caused blur, and calculating an evaluation value of the image from the evaluation values of the evaluation regions based on the estimated depth of field.
Abstract:
A communications terminal is provided, which includes a reading device which reads in access information recorded on a prescribed recording medium, the access information being necessary for acquiring content which can be played back by a playback device from a prescribed server via a network; and a playback control device which controls the playback device and the reading device. The playback control device controls receiving the content and metadata from the server, and playing back the content according to the metadata, if the content corresponding to the read access information is not stored in the storage device when the reading device reads in the access information; and the playback control device controls playing back the content stored in the storage device according to the metadata stored in the storage device in association with the content, if the content corresponding to the read access information is stored in the storage device.

Abstract:
A management apparatus collects an operation log and a job log from an image forming apparatus by using a job log collection unit and an operation log collection unit. The management apparatus identifies operation log information corresponding to a start operation, of the collected operation logs, as an operation start log information while identifying an operation log corresponding to an end operation as operation end log information. The management apparatus further associates the identified operation start log information and the job log information whose job type of the collected job log matches the job type of the operation end log information, with the operation start log information and the operation end log information.
Abstract:
The communications terminal comprises: a playback device which playbacks content; a reading device which reads in access information recorded on a prescribed recording medium, the access information being necessary for downloading the content which can be played back by the playback device, via a network; a communications device which downloads via communications the content corresponding to the access information according to the access information read in; a storage device which stores the downloaded content, the storage device storing details of the access information in association with the content, the details of the access information being used in downloading the content; a judging device which judges whether or not the content corresponding to the read access information is present in the storage device, according to information which is stored in the storage device, when the access information is read in by the reading device; and a control device which controls the playback device, the reading device, the communications device, the storage device, and the judging device, wherein: if the judging device judges that the content is present in the storage device, the control device controls for acquiring the content corresponding to the access information read in from the storage device, and for playing back the content; and if the judging device judges that the content is not present in the storage device, the control device controls for downloading the content corresponding to the access information read in, and for playing back the content.
