20130094066 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE - An image processing device includes an image scanning unit, a first paper feed cassette, and an image recording unit. The image scanning unit scans a document placed on a document scanning surface, which defines a maximum document size. The first paper feed cassette accommodates recording paper of a size up to a first size, which is the same as the maximum document size. The image recording unit records an image on the recording paper. The maximum document size is defined by a scan maximum main scanning length and a scan maximum sub-scanning length that is preferably shorter than the scan maximum main scanning length. A record main scanning direction is parallel or substantially parallel to a long side of the recording paper of the first size accommodated in the first paper feed cassette. A scan main scanning direction is parallel or substantially parallel to the record main scanning direction. | 04-18-2013 |
20130097438 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND MANAGEMENT METHOD OF POWER SAVING MODE - In an information processing device, when shifting to a power saving mode, a volatile storage unit is controlled to continuously hold a program loaded to the volatile storage unit even in the power saving mode, and a logical value indicating the power saving mode is set to an input/output port of a third control unit. At time of activation, a second control unit determines if the logical value indicating the power saving mode has been set to the input/output port, and when the logical value has been set, recognizes the activation as a return from the power saving mode and executes the program held in the volatile memory, and when the logical value has not been set, recognizes the activation as a normal activation, loads the program held in the nonvolatile memory to the volatile memory and executes the loaded program. | 04-18-2013 |
20130134155 | Microwave Heating Device and Image Fixing Apparatus Using the Same - A heating chamber is divided into a plurality of spaces by barrier sections including a conductive material. Phase shifters having different lengths with respect to a direction and including a dielectric body having permittivity higher than air are inserted in positions of a terminal section, in the spaces except for at least one space, to differentiate positions of bottoms of standing microwaves formed in the respective spaces from each other with respect to the direction. In addition, impedance adjusters having different lengths with respect to the direction and including a dielectric body having permittivity higher than air are inserted in positions on an upstream side of a region passed by the object to be heated, in the spaces except for at least one space, to reduce differences in impedance of the spaces from an entrance of the heating chamber to the terminal section including the phase shifters. | 05-30-2013 |
20130136130 | RELAY SERVER AND RELAY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A relay server stores a first routing target address that is an address to which the relay server can transfer a packet and a second routing target address to which another relay server located in another LAN can transfer a packet. The relay server stores an initial communication setting and a current communication setting. The relay server transmits only the first routing target address that is permitted in the initial communication setting to another relay server and receives the second routing target address from another relay server, to establish a routing session with another relay server. The relay server registers the initial communication setting as the current communication setting. The relay server performs routing control of the packet based on pieces of address filter information about the relay server and another relay server. | 05-30-2013 |
20130136140 | RELAY SERVER AND RELAY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A first relay server stores a first routing target address and a second routing target address. The first relay server stores a first routing target address and a virtual address allocated to the first routing target address while being correlated with each other. The first relay server allocates the virtual address to the first routing target address. The first relay server sets whether communication is conducted using the virtual address or the first routing target address with respect to each second relay server. The first relay server transmits the virtual address allocated to the first routing target address to the second relay server, and receives the second routing target address from the second relay server, so as to establish a routing session with the second relay server. The first relay server performs routing control based on the exchanged routing target address. | 05-30-2013 |
20130197719 | VEHICLE SYSTEM AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD - In a vehicle system, an inter-vehicle distance between vehicles is controlled by periodically reporting vehicle statuses from a plurality of vehicles to a ground controller and also periodically sending travelling instructions to the plurality of vehicles from the ground controller. Each vehicle stops when detecting failed reception of an instruction from the ground controller and reporting a vehicle status including information that the vehicle has stopped to the ground controller, and the ground controller based on the report received from the stopped vehicle sends a travelling instruction to the stopped vehicle, and based on the report received from the stopped vehicle, also sends a travelling instruction to a vehicle that follows the stopped vehicle so as to avoid interference with the stopped vehicle. | 08-01-2013 |
20130204482 | CARRIER - A carrier which automatically travels on a pathway. A carrier comprising: a carrier main body which travels on the pathway including a first area and a second area other than the first area; a distance measuring sensor which is provided in the carrier main body, measures an intensity of reflected light a plurality of times, and obtains a plurality of pieces of measured data; a map data storage unit which stores map data in which structures provided along the pathway are recorded; an approximate line calculation unit which calculates an approximate line based on a set of pieces of measured data having the light intensity equal to or more than a predetermined threshold among the plurality of pieces of measured data in the first area and calculates the approximate line based on the set of the plurality of pieces of measured data in the second area; and a position calculation unit which calculates a position of the carrier main body by collating the approximate line and the map data. | 08-08-2013 |
