Abstract: An information managing apparatus assigns identification information to print information and manages the print information based on the identification information. A receiving section receives a plurality of items of data. A first counter is defined in a non-volatile first memory. A second counter is defined in a volatile second memory. An identification information producing section produces the identification information for each of the plurality of items of data based on a count of the first counter and a count of the second counter. An identification information managing section manages the plurality of items of data based on the identification information. The second counter counts up by a value every time the receiving section receives an item of data, and the first counter counts up when the image forming apparatus is turned on, and when the second counter overflows.

Abstract: When the drafting operation with a display drafting apparatus and the generating operation with a control program schema generator proceed concurrently or separately, a step of temporarily storing the device of interest for display can be omitted to enhance the drafting efficiency. Conventionally, drafting the display was conducted in such a way as to temporarily store (memorize, or store with the file) a device of a controller for use, set up the specifications of the display at steps of selecting a display component, selecting display mode and function, and then call back the temporarily stored device to perform the operation of selecting the device symbol and number. This invention starts with the selection of a desired device, as such, there is no need of the temporary storage, resulting in enhanced drafting efficiency.

Abstract: The present invention provides a memory allocation method and the like, meaning that user usability and the level of service for the user can be improved. The present invention is a method for allocating memory to an application, wherein in cases where, upon receiving a memory acquisition request, the required size cannot be acquired even by executing memory recovery processing, a judgment is made of whether or not a generated memory shortage state is temporary on the basis of memory recovery information relating to past memory recovery processing, and the required size requested; when the memory shortage state is judged to be temporary, in principle, rather than immediately performing error processing, an attempt is made to acquire memory by performing memory recovery processing once again after a predicted wait time determined on the basis of the memory recovery information and the required size has elapsed.

Abstract: A powder preparing device has a filtering device which processes CMP waste water and a vacuum dry-freezing device which dries a slurry which is concentrated to a high concentration by the filtering device. A membrane module in which at least one gel filtering film in which a gel layer is formed on a surface of a filtering membrane having a pore size of 0.25 ?m is provided is placed within the filtering device. A pump sucks waste water from within the gel filtering membrane of the membrane module. The high-concentration slurry obtained by the filtering device may be supplied for various uses without further processing, or a powder may be obtained by transporting the high-concentration slurry to the vacuum dry-freezing device using a transporting pump and applying a drying process.

Abstract: This invention relates to: an indole derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof represented by formula (I): wherein R1 is, for example, hydrogen or C1-5 alkyl; R2 is, for example, hydrogen or hydroxy; R3 is, for example, hydrogen or hydroxy; —Z— is a crosslinkage having 2 to 5 carbon atoms; m is an integer from 0 to 3; n is an integer from 0 to 10; R4 and R5 are, for example, fluoro or hydroxy; R9 is, for example, hydrogen or C1-5 alkyl; and R10 and R11 are bound to each other to form, for example, —O—; and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, particularly a drug acting on &dgr; opioid receptor.

Abstract: This invention relates to: an indole derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof represented by formula (I): 1

Abstract: The present invention provides a memory allocation method and the like such that when an application usage request is made by the user, even in the event of a memory shortage, error handling is not always performed, meaning that user usability and the level of service for the user can be improved.

Abstract: A carboxylic acid tertiary alkyl ester (Chemical formula 1) of high purity is obtained at a high yield ratio, by continually adding an esterification agent possessing a monovalent acid group, which agent is ester-interchangeable with a tertiary alcohol, to a mixed fluid of a carboxylic acid and a tertiary alcohol: R1(COOR2)n.

Abstract: The present invention relates to indole derivatives represented by the following compound 1 and the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salt thereof. ##STR1## The compounds of the present invention were found to exhibit strong antitussive and analgesic actions as a result of pharmacological evaluation, and can be used in the pharmaceutical field as effective antitussives and analgesics.

Abstract: A switch in which an armature swingably coupled to a stationary terminal is operated by a depression of a push button to trip between the contacts. A movable spring is laid between the stationary terminal and the armature to assist the trip of the armature and the stationary terminal is welded to the armature. The switch can be manufactured relatively readily without increase in the number of components, and is high in the reliability in electrical connection of the stationary terminal and the armature.

Abstract: A material for optical recording by utilizing the photochemical hole burning is disclosed. The optical recording material is a composition comprising a watersoluble deuterated polymer as a host component and a water-soluble organic pigment dispersed in the host component as a guest component. By virtue of the deuteration of the host component, the tunnel effect of the hydrogen atoms in the host component is prevented, so that the hole width is narrowed. Thus, the wavelength multiplicity is increased.

Abstract: A microswitch, comprising: a casing consisting of a base casing half and a cover casing half; a plurality of terminal pieces received, at their intermediate parts, in slots provided in the base casing half and extending substantially perpendicularly from a surface opposing a corresponding surface of the cover casing half; a contact mechanism accommodated in a cavity in the casing and electrically connected to the terminal pieces; and a push-button member elastically supported by a spring member and projecting out of the casing for actuating the contact mechanism by movement of the push-button member; the terminal pieces being provided with projections extending from their leading edges, and the slot being provided with a recess for receiving the projection; wherein the slot comprises an external part and an internal part which is narrower than the external part, and a projecting length of the projection is larger than a depth of the internal part.
