In a loop communication system in which a plurality of stations connected to a pair of loop transmission lines comprised of a main transmission line and a preparatory transmission line communicate with each other through the loop transmission lines, one of the transmission lines has to be looped back to the other when failures occur in both the transmission lines by escaping from a point at which the failures occur. When the master station sequentially transmits loop back command signals to slave stations connected to the loop transmission lines, it takes into consideration the number of slave stations present between the master station and an interrogated slave station inclusive thereof so as to vary the monitoring time in accordance with a turn around time required for the master station to receive a response signal sent from the interrogated slave station being in receipt of a loop back command signal, thereby reducing the time for loop back.

In a buffer management system for communication apparatus, the statistical information to be collected at each station such as the number of occurences of receiver buffer busy state is counted at regular time intervals for a preset time duration, and if it becomes in excess of a predetermined number, the ratio in size of transmitter buffer area to receiver buffer area is changed in accordance with the buffer busy state number such that the size of the receiver buffer area becomes larger.

When a fault occurs on a data communication processor that controls data communication between information processors, all information processors connected to the data communication processor are notified of the occurrence of the fault, upon which the information processors automatically reset the data communications processors. A fault detector is provided in an interface controller in a data communications processor 101, a crossbar switch 108, and an arbitration controller 109. When a fault occurs, the fault processor in the interface controller is notified of the occurrence and the failed location by means of a broadcast signal. The fault processor notifies the information processor of the fault by means of an interrupt signal. The notified information processor instructs the data communications processor to reset each controller of the data communication processor for fault recovery.

A running information processing system and a standby information processing system are connected via networks to a bridge to communicate with partner terminals. A hot standby function is provided such that the partner terminal is not required to include a path change-over function. When it is assumed via an alive or dead state monitoring path that the running system is not operating normally, the standby system takes over processing of the running system, adds to a frame a communication address of the running system as the communication address of the transmission source, and sends the frame via the bridge. The bridge includes a plurality of ports to connect a plurality of LANs, and transfers between the ports the frame to which the communication addresses of the transmission source and destination of the information processing system are added for a relaying operation of the frame. The relaying operation is accomplished according to a latest correspondence relationship between the port having received the frame sent from the information processing system of the transmission source of the frame and the communication address of the information processing system of the transmission source added to the frame. When the standby system transmits via the bridge a frame including the communication address of the running system as the communication address of the transmission source, the bridge transmits the frame destined to the running system to the standby system without recognizing change-over of the running system.

An exposure device includes plural light-emitting elements, a light amount detection unit, a controller, plural holding units and a connection unit. The controller sequentially determines control values of the light-emitting elements based on comparison between the light amounts detected by the light amount detection unit and a predetermined reference value. The holding units are provided for the light-emitting elements, respectively. Each holding unit holds a control voltage of the controller. When the controller is to sequentially determine control values of a part of the plurality of light-emitting elements, the connection units connects the controller and the holding units corresponding to one or more light-emitting elements for which control values are determined earliest among the part of the plural light-emitting elements, before the controller determines the control values of the one or more light-emitting elements.

Remote power source control for a system having a plurality of information processing apparatuses interconnected by a network or networks capable of controlling remote power sources irrespective of different types of networks and providing security checks. Each information processing apparatus is provided with a remote power source controller which is always operated by an auxiliary power source. In instructing a power control of a remote information processing apparatus, control data is transferred between the remote information processing apparatus and a local information processing apparatus. The remote information processing apparatus checks a user ID and a password transmitted from the local processing apparatus prior to controlling its main power source.

An exposure device includes a plurality of light emitting elements, a load, a first supplying unit and a second supplying unit. The first supplying unit supplies a driving current to one of (i) light emitting elements used to form an image among the plurality of light emitting elements and (ii) the load, in accordance with a modulation signal. The first supplying unit supplies a bias current to the other. The second supplying unit supplies the bias current to light emitting elements not used to form the image among the plurality of light emitting elements, regardless of the modulation signal.
