  • Patent number: 7660000
    Abstract: Job starting processing and terminating processing of a printer is kept to the necessary minimum thereby to increase the efficiency of the printer. Print output is performed in accordance with print settings designated in print information, such as a print style of binding, the number of copies, and paper size, and a file output port, which is a characteristic of the present invention, is used as an output destination. An output print job file is sent to a common folder monitored by a job manager. The job manager executes scheduling operations at the time when the print job file is received in the common folder. The job manager also determines order characteristics, such as priority and quality, of the print job file, rearranges job schedules, and generates a stabilizing processing execution job when stabilizing processing is necessary.

  • Publication number: 20070056661
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a beryllium copper alloy having a thickness in a range from 0.05 mm to 0.5 mm includes a solution heat treating step, a cold rolling step, and an age hardening step. In the solution heat treating step, a copper alloy having an alloy composition by weight (or mass %) of Cu100?(a+b)NiaBeb (1.0?a?2.0, 0.15?b?0.35, 5.5?a/b?6.5) is heated to a solid solution temperature region in which Ni and Be are solid-solved in Cu, and the copper alloy heated to the solution temperature region is quenched at a predetermined cooling rate. In the cold rolling step, plastic strain is applied to the copper alloy within a temperature region suppressing precipitation of Ni and Be. In the age hardening step, the copper alloy to which the plastic strain is applied in the cold rolling step, is retained in the age hardening temperature region in which precipitation of Ni and Be for a predetermined age hardening period. The cold rolling step and the age hardening step are repeated at least once.
