Abstract:
A hybrid vehicle includes: an engine configured to output power for traveling; a motor configured to output power for traveling; a switch configured to set a fuel economy priority mode, in which priority is given to fuel economy, and to cancel the fuel economy priority mode; and a controller configured (a) to operate the engine and the motor based on the switch setting; (b) to determine the presence/absence of degradation of fuel supplied to the engine; and (c) to prohibit setting of the fuel economy priority mode by the switch subsequently when determination is made that the fuel has degraded when the hybrid vehicle travels using power of the motor in a state in which the drive of the engine is stopped.
Abstract:
A hybrid vehicle includes a power storage device, an engine, a power generation apparatus, an input apparatus, and an ECU. The power generation apparatus is configured to generate charging power of the power storage device by using output of the engine. The input apparatus is configured to request, by a user input, an increase in a power storage amount of the power storage device. The ECU is configured to: (a) control charging of the power storage device by the power generation apparatus and accelerate the charging of the power storage device, when the increase in the power storage amount is requested, and (b) suppress charging of the power storage device at the time when a travel load is small in comparison with charging of the power storage device at the time when the travel load is large, when the increase in the power storage amount is requested.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus comprises: an image reading portion which has a box-shaped first housing with a reading surface, and a scanning device displaceable along the reading surface in the first housing, and reads a first image on a document by relatively displacing the document and scanning device; and an image recording portion which includes a recording medium supply device accommodating a recording medium, a feeding mechanism feeding the recording medium fed out of the supply device, a recording device recording a second image on the recording medium, and a second housing incorporating at least the feeding mechanism and recording device. The apparatus is placed on a rest surface in a substantially upright position, and the reading portion is changeable in position between an upright position in which the reading surface is opposed to the recording portion, and a horizontal position in which the reading surface faces upward.
Abstract:
A printing device includes a receiving system configured to receive printing data including first information, second information and provider-specifying information that specifies a provider of the second information, from an external apparatus; a printing system configured to perform printing based on the printing data received by the receiving system; an obtaining system configured to obtain printing information representing a predetermined parameter regarding printing of the second information performed by the printing system; a storing system configured to store the printing information obtained by the obtaining system and the provider-specifying information corresponding to the printing information; and a sending system configured to send the printing information and the provider-specifying information stored by the storing system to an aggregating server.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a connector unit to which an external memory device is connected; a detecting unit configured to detect whether the external memory device is connected to the connector unit or not and output a detection result indicating that the connector unit is in a connected state or an unconnected state; a printing unit configured to execute a printing according to data from the external memory device connected to the connector unit; and a suspending unit configured to suspend operation of the printing unit according to a predetermined timing in response to a change in the detection result from the connected state to the unconnected state.
Abstract:
A communication system includes a communication device provided with an accessing system capable of accessing web pages. At least one operation member which is operable with being attached to the communication system is provided. The operation member has a data storage containing first access data which is used by the communication device to access a first predetermined web page. The system includes a transmitting system that transmits the first access data contained in the data storage to the accessing system when the at least one operation member is operated while it is attached to the communication device. In this configuration, the accessing system accesses the first predetermined web page based on the first access data transmitted from the data storage of the at least one operation member.
Abstract:
A printing apparatus is connected to a WAN and a LAN and can perform a bidirectional communication with each terminal in those networks. In the printing apparatus, a CPU sends a Web server a request signal, which received from a LAN terminal, and receives content data sent from the web server as a response to the request signal. On the basis of a predetermined determination condition, the CPU determines whether to cause a printing unit to print the content data sent from the web server. If determining that the content data is to be printed, the CPU causes the printing unit to print the content data.
Abstract:
An image processing device is configured to provide a service relating to at least one of (1) the image data generated by the function of the image processing device and (2) image data representing the image to be formed, in response to a request from the image processing device. The image processing device may include a parameter designating unit, a service request unit, and a function implementation unit that is adapted to implement the function of the image processing device based on the service providing parameter designated by the parameter designating unit. The service providing device is provided with a service provision executing unit that is adapted to execute a process to provide the service to the image processing device after receiving the request from the service request unit provided to the image processing device.
Abstract:
A printing device includes a plurality of sorts of interfaces each of which is configured to receive therethrough a print job sent by a sending source device, a printing unit configured to perform a printing operation for the print job received by each of the interfaces, a determining unit configured to determine a print priority of each of the print jobs based on a sort of an interface through which the print job is received, a control unit configured to control the printing unit to preferentially perform a printing operation for a print job with a higher print priority given thereto by the determining unit.
Abstract:
When a first period in which communication is performed by a first interactive communication unit and a second period in which utilization data is utilized have a period overlapping with each other, the utilization data are correlated with interactive communication content data, which are contents interactively delivered in the first period, by a correlation giving unit. When interactive communication is performed by the first interactive communication unit, the previous interactive communication content data are searched out using information on an interactive communication partner of the interactive communication as a search condition, thereby outputting the interactive communication content data and the utilization data correlated with the interactive communication content data by the correlation giving unit.
