Publication number: 20100238501Abstract: A printing system includes a client machine into which a printing execution instruction is input; a print server machine communicatably connected to the client machine; and a printer communicatably connected to the print server machine. The client machine includes a printer driver that creates print data in response to the input printing execution instruction and sends the print data to the print server machine; and a status monitor that sends a status request regarding the printer to the printer server machine. The print server machine includes a print server that saves the print data received from the print driver of the client machine and, in response to a predetermined trigger, sends the saved print data to the printer or another server machine for transferring the print data to the printer; and a printer status information proxy that obtains status information regarding the printer from the printer.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2010Publication date: September 23, 2010Applicant: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventor: Atsushi FUJIMAKI

Printer, control program loading method, and medium and page printer recording load control programs
Patent number: 7202967Abstract: When a control program is executed, it needs to be first decompressed and loaded into RAM. It has been impossible to immediately execute the control program when it is requested, causing a hindrance to processing speed acceleration. A printing apparatus is mounted with volatile memory that provides a main storage area. The printing apparatus specifies a second control program to be preferentially decompressed on the basis of a storage capacity of the volatile memory. The printing apparatus decompresses the specified second control program before execution and loads it into the volatile memory. Accordingly, there is no need for decompression and the like during execution of the second control program. It is possible to increase processing speeds of the first and second control programs.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2003Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Atsushi Fujimaki -

Patent number: 4411998Abstract: The present invention relates to a suppressing method of iso-citric acid formation in producing citric acid from hydrocarbons by fermentation.This process is carried out by culturing the microorganisms selected from the group belonging to Candida tropicalis, Candida lipolytica, Candida intermedia and Candida brumptii and their mutants and variants in the culture medium containing paraffinic and olefinic hydrocarbons and their mixture as carbon source under aerobic conditions, wherein specific non-ionic surface active agent is added to said culture medium.The specific non-ionic surface active agent added to said culture medium is selected from the group of sorbitan fatty acid esters and polyoxy-ethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters. The amount of specific surface active agent added to said culture medium is enough from 0.005 to 0.5 percent by weight, preferably from 0.02 to 0.2 percent on the weight basis of said culture medium.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1982Date of Patent: October 25, 1983Assignee: Showa Oil Company, Ltd.Inventors: Takao Matsumoto, Atsushi Fujimaki, Takeo Nagata
