摘要:
An image forming apparatus operates in a color mode using a plurality of image holding components and in a monochrome mode using one of the plurality of image holding components to perform the image formation. The mode is switched between the color mode and the monochrome mode in accordance with information, such as the number of monochrome images having been successively formed, the number of monochrome images to be successively formed, a time period having been taken for the monochrome image formation, productivity or life priority specified the user, and a standby state of the image forming apparatus in the color mode or the monochrome mode, with a distance between the recording sheets to be transported being controlled according to predetermined conditions.

An image forming apparatus is composed of an image holding component for holding an image, a first image forming device and a second image forming device for respectively forming a first image and a second image on a surface of the image holding component, a switching unit for switching a mode between a first mode and a second mode, the first mode being where the first image forming device and the second image forming device come into contact with the image holding component and the second mode being where the second image forming device and the image holding component do not come into contact and the first image forming device comes into contact with the image holding component, a detecting unit for detecting information concerning an image formed on the image holding component, and a modifying unit for modifying at least one of an image forming condition for the first image and an image forming condition for the second image in accordance with the information detected by the detecting unit. With this structure, the current mode is switched as necessary, so that needless wear and tear on the second image forming device is prevented. Also, the modifying unit modifies the image forming conditions as necessary, so that deterioration on a reproduced image caused by the mode switching is prevented. As a result, a high-quality image can be obtained.

Regarding audio data related to document data, an image processing apparatus pertaining to the present invention generates text data by using a speech recognition technology in advance, and determines delimiter positions in the text data and the audio data in correspondence. In a keyword search, if a keyword is detected in the text data, the image processing apparatus plays the audio data from a delimiter that is immediately before the keyword.

A multifunction peripheral (MFP) includes an accepting portion to accept a picked up image and a speech, a speech recognition portion to recognize the accepted speech, a display screen generating portion to generate a display screen in accordance with an output setting, and a transmission control portion to transmit the generated display screen. The display screen is generated in response to a recognized keyword included in a predetermined output setting. The display screen includes at least one of the picked up image and an image of object data stored in association with the keyword in advance and independently from the picked up image. The display screen is automatically switched including the image of object data stored in association with the recognized keyword in accordance with the output setting when a keyword is recognized by the speech recognition portion.

An image forming system includes: an image forming apparatus; and a linking apparatus that is linked with the image forming apparatus. The linking apparatus is operable in any of a plurality of modes including a first mode of contacting the image forming apparatus and executing a specific operation and a second mode of not contacting the image forming apparatus for a purpose of executing the specific operation. The image forming apparatus includes a mode shift command unit that, when the image forming apparatus shifts to a power saving mode, notifies the linking apparatus of a shift command indicating that the linking apparatus should be shifted to the second mode. Moreover, the linking apparatus includes: an operation mode control unit that shifts the linking apparatus to the second mode based on the shift command; and an access control unit that, after the shift to the second mode, prohibits the contact with the image forming apparatus, which is performed for the purpose of executing the specific operation.
摘要:
The present invention provides an image forming apparatus, an image management method and an image management program in which a security of image data to which anti-counterfeit information and the like is added can be ensured. The image forming apparatus connected to the network has an image data forming unit which forms the image data, and a control unit which prohibits transference of anti-counterfeit added image data in which the anti-counterfeit information is added to the image data between devices connected to the network. Thus, since the transference of the anti-counterfeit added image data is prohibited in general, security of the anti-counterfeit added image data can be improved.

摘要:
An immobilized lipase is prepared for transesterification of oils, fats or phospholipids in a reaction system containing a very small amount of water such as 50 to 2,000 ppm. The lipase may be a phospholipase such as phospholipase A.sub.2. In a first embodiment, lipase from a microorganism of the genus Rhizopus, Mucor, Alcaligenes or Candida is immobilized on the surface of a hydrophobic, insoluble organic polymer carrier having pores of an average diameter of 10 nm or larger. A solution of lipase is contacted with the polymer carrier for 10 minutes to 40 hours to covalently bond the lipase to the carrier. The immobilized lipase is dried under reduced pressure to a water content of 0.5 to 30 wt %. In a second embodiment, lipase is immobilized on the surface of a polymer carrier such as a hydrophobic, insoluble organic polymer carrier having a pore diameter of 5 to 1,000 nm and having a functional group capable of binding lipase in a aqueous solution and an anion-exchange group on the surface. Preferably, the functional group is an epoxy group and the anion-exchange group is a tertiary amino group. The lipase may be obtained from the same microorganism as in the first embodiment or from another lipase-producing microorganism. Immobilization can be carried out as in the first embodiment. It is preferred to contact a solution of lipase with the polymer carrier in the presence of a fatty acid or derivative thereof for 10 minutes to 10 hours to covalently bond the lipase to the polymer carrier.
