A technology is provided that suppresses a noise that an image forming apparatus makes in the course of an operation thereof from interfering with a user who is watching television. When a printer 203 receives a print command, the printer 203 performs a print job as per a normal mode if a commercial is being displayed on a digital TV 201. If what is being displayed on the digital TV 201 is not the commercial, the printer 203 suspends the print job until the commercial begins to be displayed.

Disclosed is a chronograph timepiece whose chronograph hands are electrically drive-controlled and mechanically zero-restoring-controlled, wherein it possible to perform a normal operation at the time of start operation and reset operation. After a mechanical control unit releases the setting of chronograph hands in response to the start operation of a start/stop button, a contact portion is placed in a start state, and an electrical control unit starts a time measurement operation to electrically hand-movement-drive the chronograph hands, and, after a contact portion is placed in a reset state in response to a reset operation of a reset button and the electrical control unit electrically resets the time measurement operation, the mechanical control unit mechanically zero-restores and sets the chronograph hands.

Disclosed is a chronograph timepiece in which it is possible to prevent the battery reliability service life time from being exceeded even when the period of time that the chronograph function is used is short, making it possible to prevent failure generation in the chronograph timepiece due to liquid leakage. A 24-hour counter down-counts a period of time that has elapsed starting from 24 hours, and a chronograph counter down-counts the period of time that chronograph measurement operation is performed from a predetermined time; when the count values of the 24-hour counter and the chronograph counter become equal to each other, a processing unit consumes a battery for the residual period of time of the two counters by a battery power consuming unit.

An item information database of a document rating calculation device stores a relation among items of a document and a rating for each item. A document retrieval unit retrieves a document fulfilling a retrieval condition, and, for condition items of the retrieval condition, specifies such item. A fulfilling-item set specifying unit selects a set of related items for each of items fulfilling the condition items of the retrieval condition, in the document retrieved by the document retrieval unit, based on the mutual relation among the items stored in the item information database, and performs a logical operation of the retrieval condition between selected sets of related items to specify a set of fulfilling items. A score calculator calculates a document rating of the retrieved document from the ratings of items in the set of fulfilling items specified by the fulfilling-item set specifying unit and stored in the item information database.

A stepping motor control circuit includes a rotation detecting means which detects an induced signal generated by rotation of a rotor of a stepping motor, and detects a rotation state of the stepping motor according to whether the induced signal exceeds a predetermined reference threshold voltage in a predetermined detection section, and a control means which controls driving of the stepping motor by using any one of a plurality of main driving pulses having energies different from each other or a correction driving pulse with energy higher than energy of each main driving pulse according to a detection result of the rotation detecting means. The detection section is divided into a first section immediately after driving by the main driving pulse, a second section after the first section and a third section after the second section. During the driving of the stepping motor by the main driving pulse, when the rotation detecting means has detected an induced signal exceeding a first reference threshold voltage in the first section and the second section, if an induced signal exceeding a second reference threshold voltage lower than the first reference threshold voltage is not detected in the third section, the control means drives the stepping motor by using the correction driving pulse.
摘要:
A burden on a user when changing sheets such as with an ink jet printer and the like is reduced, and the necessary stack space is secured without considering the step difference up to the mounting surface of an ejected paper tray worth of the amount of curls for sheets that easily curls such as post cards and the like. Thus, enlargement of the apparatus and increase in the manufacturing cost are suppressed, and is easily adopted for low cost type for mass consumption.

An object of the invention is to enable the user to judge whether the print is executed or not by informing the user of a print time which is required for a printing process before starting the printing. The print time which is required for the printing process is estimated before starting the printing process on the basis of draw information based on a print document that is formed by an application and print set information at the time of executing the printing process of the print data.

The present invention provides a print apparatus and a printing method which enable high-grade images to be output at high speed without the need to drastically reduce the number of printing elements used to print leading and trailing end portions of a print medium. A first mask pattern used to print a middle portion of the print medium is different from a second mask pattern used to print the leading or trailing end portion of the print medium. The present invention thus eliminates the need to drastically reduce the number of printing elements used to print the leading or trailing end portion as with the prior art.

An ink jet recording apparatus with plural full-line type recording heads has a heat pipe associated with each recording head. The heat pipes are connected together at a common portion in various ways, such as by a heat-conductive block, one or more additional heat pipes or a container with a heat transferring liquid medium. Such an arrangement enables more efficient and compact temperature control of the recording heads.
