The converted data is outputted to the connector component.

Abstract: An electronic camera and method of operating an electronic camera which detects whether an external device such as a personal computer is properly connected to the camera and in a state which permits communication. The camera monitors a data terminal ready (DTR) signal of an RS-232 connection in order to determine that the external device is properly connected and in a state which permits communication. Once the proper connection is detected, the camera can either transmit or receive images and/or audio from the external device. Accordingly, a specific switch which places the camera in a communication mode can be eliminated. Further, a single switch may be utilized for both controlling whether the camera records or plays images when there is no device connected, and which controls whether the camera transmits or receives images and/or audio when an external device is determined to be connected.

Abstract: A business system on the Web base having a plurality of system apparatuses and software components aims at reducing a load on configuration works and employment works of the business system. In an employment management system for the business system having a plurality of system apparatuses, a storage device stores unit configuration information, a plurality of methods constituting a common interface, and a program for each method. The common interface has at least a partial halt method for making the unit halt an operation of the business system and a partial restart method for making the unit restart the operation of the business system. When an arithmetic processing part performs employment operations by making a predetermined system apparatus halt the operation of the business system, the unit including the predetermined system is subjected to partial halt, employment operations and then partial restart.

Abstract: An image forming portion carries out image formation processing where an image is formed an a recording medium on the basis of image information and is provided with a drive motor portion for driving predetermined mechanisms employed in the image formation processing and a control sensor portion for controlling the predetermined mechanisms, and a power source portion for supplying electric power to the image forming portion. A start instruction detecting portion detects start instruction to start the image formation processing, and a power source control portion inhibits the power source portion from supplying the electric power to the drive motor portion and/or the control sensor portion before the start instruction detecting portion detects the start instruction when the image formation processing is not being performed.

Abstract: In a battery pack (1) that accommodates a plurality of batteries (11) arranged in parallel in a case (2) that forms a cooling-air passage (3), the cooling-air passage (3) and a gas-discharge passage (4) for discharging gas leaking from the battery (11) when the battery (11) falls into abnormal state are formed and separated from each other in the case (2).

Abstract: A cooperative system includes a plurality of information systems and a hub system connected to the plurality of systems. The hub system receives a message from a first information system, determines necessity of message conversion and a kind of conversion, converts the message to a form suitable for a second information system which is destination, only when message conversion is necessary, and transmits the message to a second information system. The hub system may determine whether flow control determining a flow and destination of a message received from the first information system based on a class of the message should be conducted, and conduct flow control only when it has been determined that flow control should be conducted.

Abstract: An interface apparatus includes a pulse generating unit which detects the change of reading target data and generates a start pulse, an adjusting unit which generates an adjusting signal that changes from a first signal level to a second signal level in response to the start pulse, a register unit comprising a register which fetches first reading target data synchronously with a clock when the adjusting signal is at the second signal level, and holds the data and outputs the data as second reading target data when the adjusting signal is at the first signal level, and a driver unit which outputs the first reading target data synchronously with the reading signal that is asynchronous with the clock when the adjusting signal is at the second signal level, and outputs the second reading target data synchronously with the reading signal when the adjusting signal is at the first signal level.

Abstract: To create a screen and a calling program for each service component, and a screen sequencing program when a system for allowing an application developer to make confirmation through a dialogue with a screen as to how to select a combination of existing service components, each work and input/output data thereof are defined, correspondence of each work to service components available in the work is defined, and a flow among the works is defined.

A system for allowing the developer to make confirmation through a dialogue is produced.

Abstract: In a distributed system control method for controlling operation of a distributed system having a plurality of information processors connected therein, an original sender firstly creates a message addressed to the information processors in the distributed system. Secondly the original sender requests a directory information manager to search for directory information as management information for control of operations of the information processors in the distributed system. The directory information manager reads out the directory information and sends it to the original sender. The original sender controls sending operation of the created message on the basis of the directory information received from the directory information manager.
