Abstract: A sheet processing device sandwiches a sheet-shaped medium in a two-ply sheet in which two sheets are overlaid and partially bonded. The sheet processing device includes a separator, a conveyor, and a switching member. The separator separates the two sheets of the two-ply sheet. The conveyor is disposed downstream from the separator in a sheet conveyance direction and conveys the two-ply sheet. The switching member is disposed downstream from the conveyor in the sheet conveyance direction. The switching member switches a conveyance path of the two-ply sheet to convey the two-ply sheet to a fixing path on which fixing processing is performed on the two-ply sheet or a non-fixing path on which no fixing processing is performed on the two-ply sheet.

Abstract: A sheet processing device is configured to separate a non-bonding portion of a two-ply sheet in which two sheets are overlapped and bonded together at one end as a bonding portion of the two-ply sheet. The sheet processing device includes a first sheet feeder configured to feed the two-ply sheet, a second sheet feeder configured to feed an inner sheet to be inserted between the two sheets of the two-ply sheet in a state in which the non-bonding portion of the two-ply sheet is separated, and circuitry configured to cause the first sheet feeder to feed the two-ply sheet, perform a sheet separating operation on the two-ply sheet to separate the non-bonding portion of the two-ply sheet, and cause the second sheet feeder to start feeding the inner sheet before completion of the sheet separating operation on the two-ply sheet.

Abstract: A sheet separation device separates a non-bonding portion of a two-ply sheet in which two sheets are overlapped and bonded together at one end of the two-ply sheet. The sheet separation device includes a separator that includes a first separator and a second separator. The first separator is inserted into a gap between the two sheets of the two-ply sheet. The second separator is inserted between the two sheets at said another end of the two-ply sheet that is opposite to the one end of the two-ply sheet and moves in a width direction of the two-ply sheet after the first separator is inserted into the gap and relatively moves from the one end to said another end.

Abstract: An integrated circuit card memory rewriting system comprises an integrated circuit card with built-in memory and a wireless terminal having an interface for being electrically connectable with the integrated circuit card. A base station is called by the wireless terminal while the integrated circuit card is being electrically connected to the interface of the wireless terminal. Data relating to internal data stored in the integrated circuit card is requested from the base station. The wireless terminal then updates the data of the memory of the integrated circuit card connected to the interface using received signals transmitted from the base station.

Abstract: A system for converting the MPEG2 compressed picture information into the MPEG4 compressed picture information, the processing volume and the capacity of the video memory needs to be diminished. To this end, the system includes a MPEG2 picture information decoding unit 19 for decoding the interlaced picture using only low 4×4 DCT coefficients of 8×8 DCT coefficients of a macroblock making up the MPEG2 compressed picture information by interlaced scanning, a scanning conversion unit 20 for selecting one of the first and second fields of the interlaced picture decoded by the MPEG2 picture information decoding unit 19 for generating a progressive-scanned picture, a decimating unit 21 for decimating the picture generated by the scanning conversion unit 20 and an encoding unit 22 for encoding the picture decimated by the decimating unit 21 to the MPEG4 compressed picture information.

Abstract: In a portable information terminal, a display screen is provided on one surface of an upper half portion, and keys for inputting characters are provided at a surface of a lower half portion. The upper half portion can be pivoted to overlay the lower half portion. An operating unit for performing the control operation of the display content of the screen is provided at a portion of the lower half portion that is exposed even when the upper half portion overlays the lower half portion. A controller for controlling the display screen and other control processing is equipped in the lower half portion. The upper half portion and the lower half portion are rotatably joined to each other around a first rotational axis so as to be opened from the overlap state. The upper and lower half portions are also joined to each other so as to be rotatable around a second rotational axis perpendicular to the first rotational axis.
