Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes a data processing part, a power supply connector, and an original power supply device connected to the power supply connector and selected from among a commercial power source adapter outputting a direct-current voltage generated from a commercial power source, a battery unit, and a connection device coupled to an automobile power source.

Abstract: A facsimile machine which is coupled to a telephone line and a telephone set, where the facsimile machine connects the telephone set to the telephone line in a telephone mode and disconnects the telephone set from the telephone line in a facsimile mode so as to use the telephone line as a communication line for a facsimile communication, and the facsimile machine is connectable to a communication equipment via an interface unit which is designed exclusively for the communication equipment. The facsimile machine includes a single connector including signal lines for receiving and transmitting signals for coupling the facsimile machine to the interface unit, a single switch coupled to the connector for arbitrarily selecting the communication line to the telephone line in a first mode and to the communication equipment in a second mode, and a communication part for making a facsimile communication using the communication line which is selected by the switch.

Abstract: A motor control apparatus for controlling a motor which selectively drives a first mechanism for moving a first object and a second mechanism for moving a second object. Both the first and second mechanisms having a backlash which occurs when the motor is reversed. The first mechanism moves the first object when the motor is rotated in a first direction and the second mechanism moves the second object when the motor is rotated in a second direction. The motor control apparatus includes a driving controller for rotating the motor at a predetermined angle in either the first direction or the second direction based on a predetermined instruction, a determining block for determining whether or not the motor is reversed, and a compensation block for compensating the angle at which the driving controller should rotate the motor so that an angle corresponding to the backlash is included in the angle at which the driving controller should rotate the motor.

Abstract: An acoustic coupler for a data communication device with a housing having a receiver and a coupling member mechanically coupling the receive housing and the transmitter housing. The acoustic coupler also includes a first microphone as part of the receiver for receiving an acoustic signal from a transmitter portion of a handset of a telephone, when the acoustic coupler is set to the handset. A first speaker is fastened to the second end of the receive part and outputting an acoustic signal to an operator, with yet a second speaker being fastened receiver portion of the housing for outputting an acoustic signal to a receiver portion of the handset. A second microphone is fastened to another part of the receiver which is for inputting an acoustic signal from the operator, and a coupling circuit for electrically coupling the first microphone, the second microphone, the first speaker and the second speaker to a data transmission apparatus.

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus comprises a modem, a communication controller, an image reader, an image recorder, and a system controller, wherein the system controller comprises a first medium discriminating part for discriminating the type of the transmission medium used, an error detection part for detecting a transmission error upon reception of the received image data on the basis of a predetermined error detection standard, an error detection reference part for setting the predetermined error detection standard in accordance with type of the transmission medium discriminated by the first medium discriminating means, error reporting means for controlling the communication controller such that an error signal indicative of a transmission error is transmitted to another facsimile apparatus, and a second medium discriminating part for controlling the communication control means such that the type of the first transmission medium is reported to said another facsimile apparatus.

Abstract: A radio communication system includes a radio unit, an interface circuit, a microphone and a fascimile unit. The interface unit includes a transformer through which signals are transferred between the radio unit and a seelcted one of the microphone and the facsimile unit so that d.c. components of the signals cannot be transferred. The interface circuit also includes a first relay connected between one winding of the transformer and the microphone and the facsimile unit and a second relay connected between the other winding of the transformer and the radio unit. The system also includes a mode select switch which is operatively coupled to the first and second relays. Thus, mode select signals are also d.c. decoupled signals.

Abstract: A compact, handy type facsimile machine includes a light source for illuminating an original, a line image sensor for optically reading the original, a condensation sensor for detecting formation of water droplets by condensation on the image sensor, and a control circuit for activating the light source when the condensation sensor has detected the formation of water droplets by condensation on the image sensor. Thus, upon occurrence of condensation, the condensation sensor generates a detection signal, and, in response thereto, the light source is lit to produce heat which then causes the water droplets formed on the image sensor to disappear. Upon disappearance of such water droplets, the control circuit deactivates the light source if there is no original to be read.

Abstract: A facsimile machine including a data processing system for processing data to be transmitted and received data according to a predetermined manner, which system typically comprises a MODEM, a buffer and a CODEC. The facsimile machine includes two or more interface units dedicated for performing a wire communication function for communicating image data in a wire communication mode using a telephone network and a radio communication function for communicating image data in a radio or wireless communication mode using radio waves. The radio/wire switchable facsimile machine includes a switch which switchingly establishes the wire mode or the radio mode. In one embodiment, the switch is manually operated.

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus for shortening a period of time necessary for setting up a transmission modem rate set-up and, thereby, a period of time for which it occupies a line is disclosed. Every time the apparatus transmits video data to a remote apparatus, or destination, it stores a modem rate set up then. Later on, when the apparatus is to transmit another video data to the same destination, it searches for one of the stored past modem rates associated with the particular destination and corresponding in time to the present transmission.

Abstract: A combination of a facsimile apparatus and a personal computer. The personal computer is connected to the facsimile apparatus through 8 parallel data lines, a pair of unidirectional control signal lines and 3 bidirectional control signal lines. The combination has following four operation modes; recording mode where the data from the computer is recorded by a plotter in the facsimile apparatus, image input mode where the data from a scanner in the facsimile apparatus is input to the computer, transmission/transfer mode where the data from the computer is transmitted to another facsimile, and reception/transfer mode where the data from another facsimile is input to the computer.
