摘要:
An image forming apparatus has an image carrying member having a movable surface and an electrostatic latent image carried thereon, a release agent application device for applying a release agent to the surface of the image carrying member, and an ink developing device for bringing an ink into contact with the image carrying member having the electrostatic latent image formed thereon and the release agent applied thereto, to form an ink image corresponding to the electrostatic latent image. The ratio (Ti/To) of the tack value Ti of the ink to the tack value To of the release agent is not less than 2.

An image forming apparatus includes an image carrying member having an electrostatic latent image carried on its surface, a release agent application device for applying a release agent to the surface of the image carrying member, an ink developing device for bringing an ink into contact with the image carrying member having the electrostatic latent image formed thereon and the release agent applied thereto, to form an ink image corresponding to the electrostatic latent image, and an ink supplying device for supplying a replenishing ink to the ink developing device when the release agent is mixed with the ink in the ink developing device to control the viscosity of the ink, wherein the replenishing ink differs in viscosity from the ink in the ink developing device. And, the supply of ink is varied as a function of the environmental conditions, such as temperature. Image forming methods are disclosed for using the disclosed image forming apparatuses.

In a network composed of a plurality of nodes wherein the nodes verify mutually and can communicate directly each other, when a certificate is revoked due to withdrawal of a node, the revoking node transmits a withdrawal notice to all the other existing nodes which can be connected directly and promotes them to update the connection tables and revocation lists held by the respective nodes.

Provided are an authentication method, authentication system and a terminal device in which the authentication of a non-participating third node is can be simplified and can be executed in the case of multicast by using an authentication ticket in a distributed processing network system, the non-participating third node being intended to access each of the nodes, including a first and a second node, constituting a workgroup. The first node that has already participated in the workgroup authenticates the third node intended to participate in the workgroup and issues the authentication ticket including the signatures of both nodes, and when the authentication ticket is submitted to the second node, the second node permits the third node to access, without password-based-authentication, by authenticating the first node and the second node which have signed the authentication ticket.

A data input/output system, a data input/output system control method and a data input/output system control apparatus can be provided. In the data input/output system having input and output devices, it is determined and displayed whether an output device can output an input data received from an input device, thereby allowing the output device for outputting the input data to be easily selected with reliability by use of a minimum number of operations and thereby eliminating erroneous operations.

To provide an apparatus and a method for encrypted communication processing in inter-node communication on a network capable of performing effective encrypted communication with improved security. In the inter-node multicast communication on the network, by first setting one or more of encryption keys, it can be avoided to deteriorate, by the procedure for an encrypted communication, the condition where the multicast communication is possible. Therefore, the multicast by the effective encrypted communication with improved security becomes possible.

In an image-processing employing a dither matrix a basic dither pattern is formed of a set of a plurality of basic patterns each including a plurality of pixels. In a single basic pattern a single pixel is assigned 1 serving as a number indicating an order followed to illuminate a dot in the dither matrix. When basic dither patterns are arranged longitudinally and laterally a location remotest from any pixel assigned a number is selected and a pixel at that location is assigned a subsequent number. This series of operations is repeated. When there is no basic pattern that is not assigned a number, in basic pattern a number indicating an order followed to illuminate a dot is assigned to allow the dither matrix to a dither matrix of dot convergence type. Thus a dither matrix allowing an image processing apparatus to satisfactorily reproduce an image can be created.

From profiles of an input color space and an output color space, the specific color data on respective color spaces are obtained, and a color space compression parameter is set based on each specific color data obtained. In other words, the color space compression parameter for appropriately converting data within the input color space into data within the output color space is derived from each specific color data. The color space compression processing (color matching) is performed on an absolute color space using the derived color space compression parameter so that it becomes possible to perform at a higher speed an appropriate color matching that takes into account the characteristics of the input color space and the output color space.
摘要:
A multi-tone image processing method and apparatus in which mutually dissimilar tone levels are realized by changing the additive condition of recording energy by means of different recording positions, even when the number of recording operations within a specific range is identical. For example, in an electrophotographic apparatus, when the number of irradiation by a light spot within a specific range remains constant as the irradiation position is changed in the specific range, there is a change in the additive condition of the optical energy within said specific range. Thus, the area rendered visible within the aforesaid specific range also changes, thereby changing the tone level.
