The fluid reforming device has (a) a container for fluid reforming having an inlet for introducing an unpurified fluid and an outlet for discharging a purified fluid; (b) a pair or a plurality of pairs of AC application electrodes stored in the container; (c) a cylindrical ground electrode surrounding the AC application electrodes; (d) a polarity switching circuit connected to the AC application electrodes for switching the polarities of the pair of electrodes; and (e) a constant current supply having a current detector for detecting current flowing between the AC application electrodes in fluid reforming, the constant current supply keeping a current value detected by the current detector constant.

Abstract: A flow implementation system is disclosed. The flow implementation system implements a flow created by a user into an image processing apparatus having at least one of a plotter and a scanner. The system includes a tool providing unit that provides the user with a tool for creating the flow by combining plural operations executable by the image processing apparatus and a condition for switching a path among the operations, and a flow implementing unit that implements the flow created by the user into the image processing apparatus.

Abstract: A storage unit stores an item to be displayed on a display screen and a display order indicating a screen transition until a display of the display screen in a hierarchical structure. An input processing unit inputs screen definition data including an additional item to be added to the display screen and a display order for the additional item. A registering unit registers the display order and the additional item included in the screen definition data in the storage unit. A creating unit creates a display screen including a display order for the display screen and the item and the additional item associated with the display order in the storage unit.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus where a job is implemented by one or more constituent functions is disclosed. The image processing apparatus includes a control unit configured to display states of the job and the constituent functions, to allow a user to select one of the constituent functions and add a subsequent function after the selected one of the constituent functions, and to receive a request to execute the job.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is disclosed. The information processing apparatus includes a table which describes a relationship between security strength (for example, HIGH, MIDDLE, or LOW) of a computer system of the information processing apparatus and values (for example, ON or OFF) of security function items that stipulate security functions in the information processing apparatus. When a user designates to change the security strength on a screen, the values of the security function items are changed based on the changed security strength. The changed values of the security function items are reported to the user on another screen.
