Abstract: An information processing device is connected to a printing device, and has a storage device. Multiple pieces of application-generated data corresponding to multiple documents are generated by an application program. When a piece of application-generated data is obtained, it is temporarily stored in a storage device every time. When a particular print instruction is received, multiple pieces of application-generated data stored in the storage device are combined to generate a single piece of combined print data. The combined print data representing a combination of the multiple pieces of application-generated data respectively corresponding to multiple documents. The pages of images represented by the combined print data are continuously arranged, and is output to the printing device.

Abstract: When a memory card is inserted into a card reader of an MFP, a selected network address is set as a connection destination, and a memory card insertion signal is transmitted to the connection destination. On the other hand, when no network address is selected, all network addresses stored in the memory card are set as connection destinations, and the memory card insertion signal is transmitted to the set connection destinations. The memory card insertion signal includes information indicating the insertion of the memory card into the card reader and a network address of the MFP.

Abstract: A data management device displays, on a display screen thereof, an external-device image representing an external device and an application screen corresponding to each of applications in execution. The external-device image includes function areas that respectively represent functional units of the external device. The data management device is configured to determine in which, among the function areas, a first position specified on the display screen is included, determine in which, among display areas for the application screens and the external-device image, a second position specified on the display screen is included, and set data corresponding to a function represented by a function area in which the first position is determined to be included, as target data for a process corresponding to a display area in which the second position is determined to be included.

Abstract: A communication system includes a host device and a peripheral device which are communicate with each other according to a main communication protocol that allows the command to be transmitted only from the host device to the peripheral device. The peripheral device accepts an input and to generate a trigger that urges the host device to start a target communication event in accordance with the input. The host device issues a trigger report request command to the peripheral device. The peripheral device transmits trigger generation report information containing a presence or absence of a generation of the trigger to the host device in response to the trigger report request command. The host device receives the trigger generation report information, determines the presence or absence of the generation of the trigger and starts the target event if the presence of the generation of the trigger is determined.

Abstract: A word processor having an output function for adding margin text, such as a heading or a footing to a main text, includes main text editor, margin text editor, print controller, display device and display device controller. The display controller displays the main text and the margin text simultaneously on the display device in the same form as they are printed out on a paper. Thus, the margin text can be set without printing while an operator confirms its print form.

Abstract: A word processor with display screen having a search and replace function wherein, when the cursor is positioned at the head of a character queue input area on the display screen in the search and replacement mode, a correction key stroke causes all the characters displayed in the character queue input area to be erased, so the character queues of the SEARCH and REPLACE WORDS can be easily and efficiently entered and the time required for text memorization and editorial operations by the word processor is reduced. Furthermore, the accuracy and ease of conversion of words or phrases in the text is improved, especially with regard to appropriate conversion between capital and small characters.

Abstract: In an input control device for use with an electric typewriter, word processor or computer, provided are a special back key which inputs the command for moving a visual indicator in a direction toward the beginning of a line of data, and a special advance key which inputs the command for moving the indicator in a direction toward the end of the line. With the special back key depressed, the indicator is moved to the beginning of the line when the indicator is within a data string and to the end of data string when the indicator is outside the data string. With the special advance key depressed, the indicator is moved to the end of the data string when the indicator is positioned within the data string except at the end of the data string and to the end of the line when the indicator is outside the data string except at the end of the data string.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of vertically upward arc welding for vertical and inclined joints. More particularly, the invention relates to a vertically upward arc welding method which includes the step of feeding a strip electrode in a direction at which the plane including the width direction of the strip electrode crosses the weld line, generating an arc from the strip electrode to a molten pool and/or an upper base metal disposed above the surface of the molten pool, melting the upper base metal disposed above a sliding backing shoe on the front surface side of the groove, and performing welding by expanding the groove and simultaneously dropping the molten metal onto the lower molten pool and depositing the same therein.
