Abstract:
An information processing apparatus is provided which includes an acquired information storage unit capable of storing acquired information that associates one or a plurality of pieces of mutually different position information and an acquisition count of each of one or the plurality of pieces of position information, an acquisition unit that acquires the position information indicating a position of a local apparatus, an acquisition count measuring unit that, when the acquisition unit acquires the position information, adds a predetermined value to the acquisition count associated with the acquired position information, and a control unit that sorts the acquired information stored in the acquired information storage unit in descending order of the acquisition count.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor optical device includes forming a BDR (Band Discontinuity Reduction) layer of a first conductivity type doped with an impurity, depositing a contact layer of the first conductivity type in contact with the BDR layer after forming the BDR layer, the contact layer being doped with the same impurity as the BDR layer and used to form an electrode, and heat treating after forming the contact layer.
Abstract:
A toner consumption-calculating apparatus includes a printed portion area-detecting unit that detects an area of a printed portion of image data of a latent image that is formed on a latent image-bearing member; a latent image portion area-detecting unit that detects an area of a latent image portion on the latent image-bearing member; and a latent image portion toner consumption-calculating unit that calculates latent image portion toner consumption that indicates toner amount that is consumed due to adhering on the latent image portion. The latent image portion toner consumption-calculating unit uses a detection result of the latent image portion area-detecting unit and a detection result of the printed portion area-detecting unit to calculate the latent image portion toner consumption.
Abstract:
A developer consumption determining method for determining a developer consumption of an image forming apparatus includes the steps of dividing one of writing pixels into a plurality of sub-pixels in a main scanning direction, determining a weighting coefficient for each of surrounding sub-pixels of one of the sub-pixels located within a predetermined distance from the one of the sub-pixels on the basis of positional relationships, determining respective emission coefficients for the surrounding sub-pixels on the basis of one of durations and exposures of the light beams applied to the surrounding sub-pixels, summing products of the weighting coefficients of the surrounding sub-pixels and the respective emission coefficients to obtain total exposure for the one of the sub-pixels, repeating for all of the sub-pixels the steps of determining the weighting coefficient, determining respective emission coefficients, and summing products, and summing the total exposures for all the sub-pixels to determine the developer consumption.

Abstract:
An image forming apparatus is disclosed that includes a data buffer unit that buffers input binary data, the resolution of which is 2/n (n: an odd integer greater than or equal to 3) times a print resolution, a data transform unit that transforms the input binary data into output multi-level data of the print resolution, and a light beam modulation unit that modulates radiant energy of a light beam in accordance with the output multi-level data. Accordingly, an image of the print resolution printed by the image forming apparatus based on the input binary data looks as if the resolution of the image is that of the input binary data.
Abstract:
A heat generating unit is incorporated in a mask in order to actively supply warm steam, and also drug vapor, to the nose and throat, and moisturize the upper respiratory tract. It is preferable that a metal powder, salt, and water be contained in the heat generating unit, and that an exothermic composition that releases steam in conjunction with the oxidation reaction of the metal powder be used therein. It is preferable that either an inhalation valve or exhalation valve be provided in the main mask body.
