  • Patent number: 8502489
    Abstract: A motor control device, which receives at least two emergency stop signals, includes an LSI, a PWM signal transmission circuit, a drive circuit, and an inverter circuit. The LSI generates PWM signals. The PWM signal transmission circuit transmits the PWM signals. The drive circuit generates inverter drive signals. The inverter circuit includes a P-side power switching device and an N-side power switching device. The drive circuit includes a P-side drive circuit for driving the P-side power switching device, and an N-side drive circuit for driving the N-side power switching device. One of the emergency stop signals is inputted to the P-side drive circuit and the PWM signal transmission circuit. The other emergency stop signal is inputted to the N-side drive circuit and the PWM signal transmission circuit. In response to the receipt of an emergency stop signal, the PWM signal transmission circuit stops transmitting the PWM signals, and the drive circuit stops outputting the inverter drive signals.

  • Patent number: 8390846
    Abstract: From an image-processing apparatus that can communicate via a network, updated configuration information is received, and configuration information for display is not updated based on the received configuration information so that an item to be processed is not reflected in configuration information of an item manually set by a user, and the configuration information for display is updated based on the received configuration information so that an item to be processed is reflected in the configuration information of an item that is not manually set by the user. Accordingly, the configuration information can be manually set while effectively using the configuration information received from the information-processing apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20130021647
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus receives distribution of information of a server device which manages an image output device as an input destination of a print job, and automatically registers the server device as an output destination of a printing instruction. A computer device, which issues a printing instruction via a network to cause an image output device to execute a print job, makes an acquisition request of device management information to be updated, to a computer management device which manages the device management information including information regarding an output destination of the printing instruction issued by the computer device, and acquires the device management information to be updated. The computer device registers a cloud service server device as the output destination of the printing instruction based on information regarding the cloud service server device included in the device management information to be updated.

  • Publication number: 20120268792
    Abstract: The print processing apparatus can set to perform either the page layout process for each page of the book-bound sheet bundle or the page layout process for the spread pages for the book-bound sheet bundle during bookbinding printing. At the time of combining the page layout function with the bookbinding print function, the arrangement of a plurality of pages on the spread pages for the book-bound sheet bundle is controlled if the page layout process for the spread pages for the book-bound sheet bundle during bookbinding printing is set. When a page-order mismatch occurs in the arrangement order specified for page layout, the arrangement order of pages which are a front cover and a rear cover of the book-bound sheet bundle is changed so as to maintain the integrity of the page order.
