Abstract: A power supply device is provided, which includes a first load operating with a first voltage in a normal operation mode, a second load operating with a second voltage lower than the first voltage in the normal operation mode, a third load operating with the second voltage in the normal operation mode and a power-saving mode, and an auxiliary second-voltage generating circuit configured to, when a main supply voltage is supplied from a main power supply circuit and a primary second-voltage generating circuit is forbidden to generate the second voltage with a third-load electric path for carrying therethrough the main supply voltage from the main power supply circuit to the third load without passing through the primary second-voltage generating circuit being broken by a switching circuit, generate the second voltage from the main supply voltage and supply the generated second voltage to the third load.

Abstract: There is provided a main device of a cordless telephone system that performs communication with at least one additional device, each of which includes a search unit that intermittently searches for a radio wave generated from the main device, and a search stopping unit that stops execution of the search unit after a state in which the search unit does not receive a radio wave continues for a predetermined time. The main device includes a radio wave generating unit, an operation stopping unit that stops an operation of the radio wave generating unit, and a temporary returning unit that temporality recovers the operation of the radio wave generating unit and stops the operation of the radio wave generating unit after the additional device executes multiple searches by using the search unit after stopping the operation of the radio wave generating unit, but before the predetermined time elapses.

Abstract: An image data identifying unit identifies at least two pieces of image data for images displayed in display regions detected by a detecting unit. The at least two pieces of image data includes a first image data firstly identified by the image data identifying unit. An image data selecting unit selects or deselects the at least two pieces of image data identified by the image data identifying unit. A selection data storing unit stores selection data for each of the plurality of pieces of image data read by a reading unit. The selection data indicates whether each of the plurality of pieces of image data is in a selected state or a deselected state by the image data selecting unit. A determining unit determines whether the first image data is in the selected state or the deselected state based on the selection data.

Abstract: A process for producing isoprene is provided, which includes continuously or intermittently supplying isobutylene and/or t-butanol, formaldehyde and water into an acidic aqueous solution, and reacting the reaction mixture while distilling away a mixture containing produced isoprene, water, unreacted starting materials and other low boiling point components from this reaction mixture to the outside of the reaction system, wherein the reaction is carried out while controlling the concentration of high boiling point byproducts, which is produced and accumulated in the reaction mixture, to fall within the range of 0.5-40 mass %.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: a display and a display controller that controls the display to display thereon a page. When a first processing is currently performed on the page, the page includes: a first part, on which the first processing has not yet been performed; and a second part, on which the first processing has already been performed. When a second processing is currently performed on the page, the page includes: a third part, on which the second processing has not yet been performed; and a fourth part, on which the second processing has already been performed. The display controller controls the display to display the first part and the second part in different display modes. The display controller controls the display to display the third part and the fourth part in different display modes.
