Abstract:
This invention provides an information processing apparatus which includes a first storage unit and a second storage unit and implements a function of causing the first storage unit and the second storage unit to store data redundantly while maintaining a power saving mode even upon receiving an access request from an external apparatus in the power saving mode, and a method of controlling the same. To accomplish this, upon receiving an HDD access request in the power saving mode, the information processing apparatus operates after transiting to an HDD access mode in which only minimum necessary functions are activated without activating the main CPU. The contents of the HDD changed during the HDD access mode are stored as history information. Upon transiting from the power saving mode to the normal operating mode, the data in another HDD is updated in accordance with the history information, thereby implementing a mirroring function.

Disclosed is a photosensitive resin composition for flexographic printing plates containing a thermoplastic elastomer (A), a polymer (B) mainly composed of butadiene, a photopolymerizable unsaturated monomer (C) and a photopolymerization initiator (D) (which composition substantially contains no hydrophilic polymers). In this photosensitive resin composition for flexographic printing plates, the number average molecular weight of the polymer (B) is not less than 10,000 and not more than 60,000, and the 1, 2 vinyl content in the total double bonds of the polymer (B) is not more than 25%.
Abstract:
An air-conditioning device includes a refrigerating cycle; a controller to control a refrigerant discharge capacity of a compressor of the cycle in a manner that a refrigerant evaporation temperature of an evaporator of the cycle approaches a target temperature; and a setting portion to set an upper limit for a fuel amount consumed by an engine based on at least the refrigerant evaporation temperature. The controller controls the refrigerant discharge capacity of the compressor in a manner that an actual fuel amount consumed by the engine is equal to or lower than the upper limit.
Abstract:
An image forming device is provided which embeds a decodable two-dimensional code when embedding (printing) a two-dimensional code in an original document. The image forming device represents additional information by associating virtual points with dots in one-to-one correspondence and arranges dots in positions deviated from virtual points associated with the dots. The image forming device includes a determining unit for determining intervals between the virtual points and virtual points adjacent to the virtual points and determining sizes of the dots, and an arranging unit for arranging dots having the determined sizes to respective virtual points having the determined intervals. The determining unit may determine dots to have sizes other than sizes proportional to the determined intervals.
Abstract:
A document management apparatus acquires block information of each page, which is obtained by executing block segmentation processing for each page of document data of a first version. A matched block and a mismatched block between the first version and a second version are discriminated on the basis of the block information acquired in association with the document of the first version and block information obtained by executing block segmentation processing for each page of document data of the second version. A page is generated by laying out a block that is determined as a matched block and exists in a page containing a block determined as a mismatched block in the document data of the first version and a block that is determined as a mismatched block in the document data of the second version while maintaining the block sequence in the whole document data of the second version.
Abstract:
Ten of pavilion main facets are formed with reference to the previously formed five of first pavilion main facets in which an initial first main facet is formed in a position centered on a line shifted approximately fifteen degrees from the ridge of the raw diamond on the pavilion side. Ten of pavilion main facets 19 radiate from the curette 18 and twenty of lower girdle facets are formed between the adjacent pavilion main facets on the pavilion side of the diamond 1.
Abstract:
This invention provides an image processing apparatus which simplifies the circuit arrangement required for edge emphasis correction. For this purpose, the apparatus has a first color conversion unit (102) for color-separating input image data into lightness data and chromaticity data, a delay unit (103) for delaying the separated lightness data by N lines, and delaying the chromaticity data by N/2 lines, an image edge amount extraction unit (113) for extracting an image edge portion from the lightness data, a saturation amount extraction unit (114) for extracting the saturation component from the chromaticity data, and an image edge emphasis amount distribution unit (116) for distributing the emphasis amount of the edge portion to an edge emphasis unit (104) so that the distribution ratio for chromaticity correction is higher than that for lightness correction when the saturation component extracted by the saturation extraction unit (114) is large, and the distribution ratio for lightness correction is higher than that for chromaticity correction when the saturation component extracted by the saturation extraction unit (114) is small.

Abstract:
A control apparatus for a vehicle that is capable of enhancing fuel efficiency of an internal-combustion engine. The vehicle is provided with at least one electronically controllable vehicle-mounted accessory that can be driven by the engine, and energy storage means for storing energy generated by the at least one vehicle-mounted accessory being driven by the engine. The apparatus includes regenerative control means for performing regenerative control during deceleration of the vehicle according to a deceleration instruction from a driver, and drive-control means for performing drive-control of the at least one vehicle-mounted accessory during a vehicle running period other than a regenerative control period so that the energy storage means has a margin in energy storage capacity for storing energy to be generated by the at least one vehicle-mounted accessory being driven by the engine during the regenerative control.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a processing unit, a power supply control unit configured to control powering on and off of the processing unit, and a controller unit configured to access the processing unit irrespective of a power supply state of the processing unit. The power supply control unit powers off a processing unit that is not in use, powers on a processing unit that is accessed by the controller unit, and outputs a predetermined control signal to the controller unit. The controller unit recognizes that an error occurs in a case where, after accessing a processing unit, the controller unit does not receive a response from the accessed processing unit until a time-out time elapses, and delays recognizing the error when the control signal is received.
