An apparatus for image processing which determines such attributes as screen halftone area, character area and continuous tone area that appear in image data. A wavelet transform circuit wavelet transforms values of picture elements within a reference block selected from an image. Absolute value calculation circuits and adders calculate characteristic values representing characteristics of said reference block for every spatial frequency band on the basis of results of wavelet transform. And a determination circuit determines an attribute of notice area made up of one or a plurality of picture elements within the reference block on the basis of the characteristic values of the reference block.

The present invention pertains to an STB (100) used by being connected to a printer (200) and a content distributing apparatus (21) that receives an order for consumables (223a-223c) used by the printer (200). The STB (100) includes the following: a communication I/F unit (103) for obtaining a content with which a point value is associated; a job management unit (106b) which outputs the obtained content so as to allow the printer (200) to print it, and also accumulates the point value associated with the content; a point accumulation unit (109); a printer I/F unit (107); and an ordering control unit (106a) for transmitting, to the content distributing apparatus (21), a notification for ordering consumables, together with the accumulated point value. The content distributing apparatus (21) receives the order for the consumables from the STB (100), and performs charging processing of reducing the price of the consumables by the amount equivalent to the point value transmitted together with the order.

A class configuration generation unit generates (n−1) number of class configurations each of which is comprised of i number of the already selected features plus a feature selected from the remaining (n−i) number of the features (both of n and i are integers). A class configuration selection unit selects an optimal class configuration from the (n−i) number of the class configurations using an arbitrary evaluation value. The features used in the class configuration selected by the selection unit are used as the already selected features in the generation unit. The operations by the generation unit and the selection unit are repeated ID with values of i sequentially varying from 0 to r−1, thereby generating a class configuration comprised of r number of the features.

A sheet conveying apparatus permits keeping predetermined sheet intervals, even when sheet conveyance is temporarily discontinued and then resumed, after resumption of conveyance. The sheet conveying apparatus has a first roller which feeds sheets at predetermined sheet intervals, and a second roller which conveys a plurality of sheet fed from the first roller. After temporarily discontinuing conveyance of the plurality of sheets, conveyance of the plurality of sheets is resumed by use of the first roller and the second roller. The variation in the sheet interval caused when temporarily discontinuing sheet conveyance is corrected upon resumption of sheet conveyance.

An informing system is provided that informs an optimum person to be called of a failure when a failure occurs in an information processing system. The informing system includes operation monitoring means (13) for detecting a failure in the information processing system and for acquiring the failure situation, time monitoring means (17) for acquiring a failure time when the failure in the information processing system is detected by the operation monitoring means (13), device to-be-called lists (22, 23) having a record of the types of the device to be called that is used for calling and the priorities of call numbers corresponding to the failure situation and the failure time, list updating means (18) for updating the device-to-be-called list, and calling means (16) for searching the device-to-be-called list using the failure situation and the failure time as keys and for calling by determining the type of the device to be called and the call number.

The information processing device includes a first device (31) supplied with power and a second device (32) supplied with power from the first device (31) when connected to the first device (31). The information processing device includes a detection portion (121-1, 121-n, 221-1, 221-n) detecting the attachment/detachment of the second device (32) and a supply portion (121-2, 221-2) supplying power to the second device (32), and the first device (31) includes a control portion (151) controlling the supply of the power by the supply portion (121-2, 221-2) according to the result of detection by the detection portion (121-1, 121-n, 221-1, 221-n). As the supply of the power by the supply portion (121-2, 221-2) is controlled according to the result of the detection by the detection portion (121-1, 121-n, 221-1, 221-n), the electric shock on an internal circuit of the second device (32) at the time of attachment/detachment of second device (32) can be prevented.

A coating method comprises the steps of feeding a base material into a gap defined between a coater die and a base material feeding roller and coating said base material with viscous material discharged from said coater die, wherein the dimension of the gap between the coater die and the base material feeding roller is adjustably varied under action of a pressure at which said viscous material is discharged from the coater die in response to a variation in said pressure. The coating apparatus used for execution of the coating method is so constructed that at least one of said coater die and base material feeding roller is supported by a displacement control device so that said coater die or said base material feeding roller is displaceable against action of said displacement control device under effect of a pressure at which viscous material is discharged from the coater die.

An LED classification device classifies LEDs, the LEDs each including a combination of an LED element that emits a primary light and a phosphor that, upon excitation by the primary light, emits a secondary light having a longer wavelength than the primary light, the LEDs each emitting a combined light of the primary light and the secondary light, those ones of the LEDs whose primary lights having their chromaticities falling within a predetermined chromaticity range being classified as LEDs for use in a backlight of a liquid crystal display apparatus. The LED classification device calculates, for all of the LEDs to be classified, correction values for the chromaticities as obtained on the assumption that the primary lights have traveled through a color filter of the liquid crystal display apparatus, and correct chromaticities by subtracting the correction values from chromaticities obtained for all of the LEDs to be classified, respectively.
