Abstract: An ink-jet recording apparatus includes a platen provided with a suction-collection section which sucks in and collects ink discharged deviating from an end portion of recording medium. The ink-jet recording apparatus includes a suction force generation unit for collecting ink configured to enable the suction collection section to generate a suction force, a collection flow path connecting the suction collection section to the suction force generation unit for collection, and a flow path control unit configured to vary an sectional area of the collection flow path. The sectional area of the collection flow path is varied according to an image forming time or a type of the recording medium.

Abstract: A security device, a key device and a program protection system and method capable of coping with copy protection evading software or the modification of a board. A comparison is made between a security code unique to a game program which is obtained from a prestored key code and a security code obtained by generating a random number by using a game program stored in a storage device as an initial value. When they disagree, the operation of the function module is stopped. The copy protection is executed by hardware. By integrally forming the hardware and the function module, it is possible to cope with copy protection evading software or the modification of a board.

Abstract: A fuel cell power generation system has a condensing heat exchanger with a decarbonation device for removing carbon dioxide dissolved in condensed water including an inclined plate which has an upper side with an upper surface and a lower side with a lower surface. The inclined plate is made of a porous material, and is configured so that, by circulating air for decarbonation from the lower side toward the upper side of the inclined plate and simultaneously flowing the condensed water down from the upper side toward the lower side of the inclined plate, the condensed water comes into contact with the air for decarbonation on both the upper and lower surfaces of the inclined plate while flowing down along the inclined plate.
