Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: an image reading mechanism configured to read an image from a document; an image forming mechanism configured to print the image read by the image reading mechanism on a recording sheet; and an image inspection mechanism configured to read the image printed on the recording sheet in the image forming mechanism. The image reading mechanism and the image inspection mechanism each include: a light source configured to irradiate a reading target with light; and a solid-state image sensing device on which reflected light from the reading target is made incident, and configured to perform photoelectric conversion operation. Light emitting members forming the light sources of the image reading mechanism and the image inspection mechanism have the same spectral characteristics.

Abstract: It is sought to allow a control unit part to be made up simply and at low cost, to prevent oozing out at an edge portion of a printing image and to enable inkjet printing at high quality regardless of kinds of the recording medium. To this end, there is provided a method of applying an undercoat in an ink jet recording apparatus of line type for printing recorded information, including an ink jet type undercoating unit for prior undercoating on a recorded information printing portion wherein undercoating data are prepared by software manipulation on the basis of printing information recorded data, characterized in that it comprises: laying a mask beneath a layer of a printing image and detecting an edge of the printing image; and on the basis of a mask information having the printing image extracted by software manipulation, applying an undercoat to an area covering from the printing image to an outer side of an edge portion of the printing image.

Abstract: In order to generate a source program or an object code which can be executed in parallel efficiency by detecting an independent operation of a large grain size from a program which can not be analyzed by the compiler, a parallelization supporting tool inputs a result of an output of the interprocedural analyzer 120 and the source program. A program of intermediate language is produced by the parse and the program of information of common and dummy argument variables is reflected into the program of intermediate language by the interprocedural variable information read processing. After a control flow analysis and a dataflow analysis have been carried out, dependency unknown variables are extracted and parallelizability conditions are produced. Based on the result of the produced conditions, questions and answers are made with the user or a condition statement is inserted into the source program to execute the program and a decision of parallelizability is made.

Abstract: To facilitate protected distribution of digital data files, the files are segmented, and each segment (e.g. disk sector) is encrypted separately. Some segments can be left unencrypted, speeding access since less decryption is required. Different segments can utilize different encryption techniques, increasing protection against unauthorized decryption. A table stored in association with the encrypted data provides authorized users with data identifying the encrypted segments, and the form of encryption used. Decryption is accomplished with a layered set of operating system software that operates in conjunction with said table. Specialized APIs aren't used; applications programs are provided with unencrypted data using conventional APIs. Internal interfaces, invisible to the APIS, intercept normal processing calls (e.g READs) and direct them to internal decryption software that returns decrypted data back to the APIs.

Abstract: A method for preserving the degree of freshness of poultry shell eggs is disclosed which comprises spraying the surface of a shell egg with an effective amount of a composition comprising a triglyceride of saturated fatty acids (I) of the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein: R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are the same or different, linear aliphatic hydrocarbon groups containing from 5 to 21 carbon atoms, and as an essential ingredient, a fatty acid (II) containing from 12 to 20 carbon atoms in an amount of from 0.01 to 0.5% by weight on the basis of the total weight of the composition.

Abstract: A brake control system for a vehicle in which a brake pressure is generated in accordance with a signal from an electronic control unit for applying the brake pressure to vehicle wheels, characterized in that a mechanical brake system is automatically actuated when an unexpected electrical fault has occurred in an electrical brake system.

Abstract: A diaphragm-type sensor is disclosed which comprises a substrate including a cavity, a diaphragm formed on the cavity and supported by the substrate, a heater element arranged on the diaphragm, two sensor elements arranged on both sides of the heater means and slits between the heater means and the respective sensor means. The slits are effective in completely preventing the deformation of the diaphragm due to a heat propagated from the heater element, from influencing the sensor elements, whereby the diaphragm-type sensor exhibits stable output characteristics.

Abstract: An interactive computer system for converting user interface presentations from a first application specified format to a second user specified format. The system accepts application program output designed to be displayed on a target type of computer system terminal and, converts the display to a user specified form prior to display. Through conversion apparatus and process the user may specify a customized format for presentation of the data from the application program to take advantage of the capabilities of a particular display device employed by that user. The system analyses the application program output, and converts the output to a form required by the customized interface and display the resulting output on the user display device. The system is able to accept data input and commands from the user display device, convert them into a form required by the application program and transmit that input or command to the application program.

Abstract: A microbridge flow sensor includes integral bridge portions and temperature-measuring resistive elements. The bridge portions are integrally formed above the right and left openings of a substrate, respectively. The temperature-measuring resistive elements are respectively formed on the surfaces of the bridge portions.
