An integrated circuit includes: a signal processor, which receives an input signal and generates a processed signal, representing processing information obtained by subjecting the input signal to predetermined processing, and at least one type of internal signal including internal information obtained during the processing; at least one memory storing the processing information; an interface exchanges signals with an external device; and a controller controlling the signal processor, memory and interface. On receiving a first instruction from the external device through the interface, the controller controls the signal processor and memory such that the processing information is once stored in the memory and then output to the external device via the interface. In response to a second instruction, the controller controls the signal processor and memory such that the internal information is once stored in the memory and then output to the external device via the interface.

An image forming apparatus that performs fixing processing on a sheet having a transferred toner image in smaller area units than the size of the sheet includes an image forming unit that forms a toner image in each predetermined color, a transfer unit that transfers the toner image in each color over a sheet, a detecting unit that detects, for each of the areas, the maximum number of stacked toner images, a determining unit that determines the amount of heat to be applied to the area based on the maximum number of stacked toner images of the area detected by the detecting unit, and a fixing unit that, on each of the areas on the sheet after the transfer processing by the transfer unit, applies the amount of heat determined by the determining unit and fixes a transferred toner image in each color.
摘要:
A multi-layered information recording medium comprising a plurality of recording layers, a user data area for recording user data, provided in at least two of the plurality of recording layers, and a defect list storing area for storing a defect list. When at least one defective area is detected in the user data area, the defect list is used to manage the at least one defective area.

A reproduction method includes a step of performing error correction of the first coded data piece and generating error location information which represents an error location of the first coded data; a step of generating erasure locator information which represents an erasure position of the second coded data piece, based on the error location information; and an erasure error correction step of performing erasure error correction of the second coded data piece based on the erasure locator information. The erasure locator information generation step includes the step of, when the error location information indicates that no error is detected in the Nth first symbol and the (N+2)th first symbol and that an error is detected in the (N+1)th first symbol, determining at least one of the plurality of second symbols provided adjacent to the (N+1)th first symbol as representing erasure.
摘要:
Water draining means (a water drain pipe and a water drain valve (54)) is provided that drains water out of a pot. A control device (80) makes the water draining means drain the water inside the pot when one of the following conditions is fulfilled: [1] the retention time counted by a first time counter (101a) has reached a predetermined time; [2] the total time, as counted by a second time counter (101b), that has elapsed after the water started to be fed has reached a predetermined time; [3] the total amount of water, as detected by a fed water amount detector (102), that has been fed into the pot has reached a predetermined amount; [4] the total water feed time, as counted by a third time counter (101c), for which the water has been fed into the pot has reached a predetermined time; and [5] an instruction to drain the water is entered via an operation panel (13). Thus, while the amount of water consumed and the work burden on the user associated with water replenishment are reduced, the water retained inside the steam generating device (pot) is prevented from getting spoilt, and the interior of the steam generating means can be kept sanitary.

A heat-cooking apparatus includes blowing means (100) that blows cooling air to an opening (20a) of a heating chamber (20) when a door (11) is opened after steam is supplied to the heating chamber (20) for preparatory operation before heat-cooking or for heat-cooking itself. More specifically, after steam is supplied to the heating chamber (20), when the door (11) is opened, the blowing means (100) drives a conventionally existing cooling fan (101) to suck in cooling air from outside the apparatus, and deflects the cooling air toward the opening (20a) of the heating chamber (20) with a decoration box (102) so that the cooling air is blown to the opening (20a) so as to pass sideways substantially across it. Thus, the cooling air mixes with high-temperature steam that tends to overflow frontward as soon as the door (11) is opened, and thereby lowers the temperature of the steam. This surely prevents the user from being hurt, as by being burnt, with the overflowing steam. Thus, without use of special exhausting means, it is possible to open the door (11) while ensuring the safety of the user even immediately after a heating medium (for example, steam) is supplied to the. heating chamber (20).
