20090221143 | METHOD OF CLEANING AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A method of cleaning for removing metal compounds attached to a surface of a substrate, wherein the cleaning is conducted by supplying a supercritical fluid of carbon dioxide comprising at least one of triallylamine and tris(3-aminopropyl)amine to the surface of the substrate and a process for producing a semiconductor device using the method of cleaning are provided. In accordance with the method of cleaning and the method for producing a semiconductor device using the method, etching residues or polishing residues containing metal compounds are efficiently removed selectively from the electroconductive material forming the electroconductive layer. When the electroconductive layer is a wiring, an increase in resistance due to residual metal compounds can be suppressed, and an increase in the leak current due to diffusion of the metal from the metal compounds to the insulating film can be prevented. Therefore, reliability on the wiring is improved, and the yield of the semiconductor device can be increased. | 09-03-2009 |
20110299131 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING POWER SUPPLY CONTROL PROGRAM - There is provided an image processing apparatus including: an image scanner that scans in an image of an original, the image scanner including an opening and closing member capable of moving between an open position and a closed position, a closing operation detection unit that detects closing operation of the opening and closing member, and a determination unit that determines a size and orientation of the original; an image forming unit that forms an image on recording paper based on scanned image data; a switching unit that independently switches between power supply or supply interruption for the image scanner and the image forming unit; and a notification unit that, after power supply has been resumed to the image scanner, executes notification to urge selection of either manual input of the size and the orientation of the original or opening and closing operation of the opening and closing member. | 12-08-2011 |
20110320845 | POWER SUPPLY CONTROL APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, STORAGE MEDIUM STORING POWER SUPPLY CONTROL PROGRAM - A power supply control apparatus that includes an instruction component, an execution component and a power supply control component is provided. The power supply control component is equipped with at least two measurement functions that have different measurement durations for cases in which the duration until interrupting the power supply to device(s) is measured, wherein measurement is activated with a first measurement function of relatively long measurement duration at a completion time of prior image processing, and measurement is activated with a second measurement function of relatively short measurement duration for device(s) to which power is being supplied at the time of completion of the prior image processing but which are not required in later image processing. | 12-29-2011 |
20120327440 | PROGRAM EXECUTING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A program executing apparatus, includes : a nonvolatile memory that stores a program for activating an equipment and a variable used in the program and sustains the stored program and the variable even though power is not supplied, the program and the variable being able to be read out and written into the nonvolatile memory; and an executing unit that transmits the program and the variable to the nonvolatile memory when the activation of the equipment is instructed at an initial status where the program and the variable are not stored in the nonvolatile memory, and successively executes the program using the variable stored in the nonvolatile memory, and, when the activation of the equipment is re-instructed, executes the program using the variable stored in the nonvolatile memory. | 12-27-2012 |
20120331236 | DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A data processing apparatus includes an operation unit, a writable and readable volatile register, a writable and readable nonvolatile memory, first and second writing units and a write-back unit. The operation unit performs an arithmetic operation and a logical operation. The writable and readable volatile register stores data used in the operations performed by the operation unit. The writable and readable nonvolatile memory stores the data in parallel with the volatile register. The data stored in the nonvolatile memory is the data stored in the volatile register. The first writing unit writes the data in the volatile register. The second writing unit writes the data in the nonvolatile memory in parallel with the first writing unit every time the data is written in the volatile register. The write-back unit writes back the data stored in the nonvolatile memory to the volatile register when a power supply is turned on. | 12-27-2012 |
20130229681 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An information processing apparatus includes an execution unit that executes a program, a main storage unit that includes a first non-volatile memory which is readable and writable and is capable of retaining stored information even when no power is supplied and is provided with a first storage area which stores the program executed by the execution unit and a second storage area which stores data generated by the execution of the program by the execution unit, a connection unit that connects the execution unit and the main storage unit, and a condition storage unit that includes a second non-volatile memory which is readable and writable and is capable of retaining stored information even when no power is supplied and stores conditions which are set by the connection unit to transmit and receive the program and the data between the execution unit and the main storage unit. | 09-05-2013 |
20130235419 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms an image and a controller that controls the image forming unit, wherein the controller includes a first execution unit that executes a first program, a first main memory that includes a first non-volatile memory, is connected to the first execution unit, and stores a first start program, a first transmission and reception controller that is connected to the first bus, controls the transmission and reception of data, and includes a volatile memory, a second execution unit that is connected to the first execution unit and executes a second program, a second main memory that includes a second non-volatile memory, is connected to the second execution unit, and stores a second start program, and a second transmission and reception controller that is connected to the second bus, controls the transmission and reception of data, and includes a third non-volatile memory. | 09-12-2013 |
20150043024 | PROCESSING APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A processing apparatus includes following components. Processing units each operate when being supplied with power. A first detector detects an object entering a first detection area. A second detector detects an object entering a second detection area. A first controller controls power supply to the processing units and the first and second detectors. At a start of a power-saving mode, the first controller stops supplying power to the second detector and at least one processing unit and supplies power to the first detector. After the start of the power-saving mode, the first controller restarts supplying power to the second detector when the first detector detects an object entering the first detection area. When the second detector detects an object entering the second detection area in the power-saving mode, the first controller restarts supplying power to the at least one processing unit so as to cancel the power-saving mode. | 02-12-2015 |
