Abstract: A printing system controls a printing member to perform printing based on a print job for which a charged fee is already settled. The printing system receives a first instruction to suspend the printing started by the printing member and suspends the printing started by the printing member in response to reception of the first instruction. The printing system receives a second instruction as to a post suspending process to be executed after the printing is suspended. The printing system performs one of a post fee-settlement process and a restart process, as the post suspending process. The post fee-settlement process is related to provision of a benefit corresponding to refunding at least part of the charged fee. The restart process is to restart the suspended printing to complete the print job after a reason that the first instruction is made is resolved.

Abstract: A printing device includes: a printing unit; and a controller. The printing unit is configured to print an image on a print medium. The controller is configured to perform: (a) receiving; (b) transmitting; (c) receiving; and (d) transmitting. The (a) receiving receives a print job from an external device. The (b) receiving receives a print job from an external device. The (b) transmitting transmits the print job to a data processing server. The (c) receiving receives, from the external device, destination information representing a destination of payment information of a fee required for executing the print job with the printing unit. The (d) transmitting transmits the destination information to the data processing server to cause the data processing server to provide the payment information to the external device.

Abstract: A printing system includes a printing device and a data processing server. The printing device includes a first controller. The data processing server includes a second controller. The first controller acquires a print job from an external device and transmits the print job to the server. The second controller receives the print job and stores the print job in a server memory. The first controller receives designation of the print job subject to printing and transmits a print request for printing the print job subject to printing to the server. After a fee payment approval to approve a payment for execution of the designated print job is transmitted, the second controller transmits to the printing device the print job. The first controller receives the print job and performs printing the print job on a print medium by controlling a printing member.

Abstract: A device for radio-frequency hyperthermia havinga first electrode adapted to be disposed in a tract organ of a living body.A second electrode is provided which is adapted to be disposed on an outer circumference of the living body such that the second electrode is opposed to the first electrode such that there is generated a spatially inhomogeneous electric field within the living body in cooperation with the first electrode so that a part of the living body near the first electrode may be heated more strongly than a part of the living body near the second electrode.This serves to selectively heat a tumor or malignancy region at the deep inside of the living body by a noninvasive technique.

Abstract: An endotract antenna used for hyperthermia treatments. A microwave radiation antenna is surrounded by a balloon-like member made of a thin polymeric film. Tubes for feeding and draining a cooling liquid to and from the inside of the balloon-like member enable the device to effectively warm an endotract lesion such as a tumor by effectively supplying the energy of the microwaves emitted from the antenna to the endotract lesion.

Abstract: Disclosed in this invention are protein-bound polysaccharides having antitumor activities. The polysaccharides have molecular weight within a specified range and present a pattern of color reaction peculiar to the saccharides as well as a pattern of color reaction characteristic of amino acids and peptide bonds. The proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the polysaccharides show peculiar absorption bands. The ratio of the polysaccharide portion to protein portion in the polysaccharides is within a specified range. The protein-bound polysaccharides can be obtained by extraction of the mycelia and/or fruit bodies of fungi belonging to Coriolus of Polyporaceae of Basidiomycetes.

Abstract: A nitrogen-containing polysaccharide, which is obtainable by extracting mycelia of a fungus belonging to the genus Coriolus of Polyporaceae of Basidiomycetes with an aqueous solvent, is effectively used in treating a bacterial infectious disease due to the strain of the pathogenic bacterial species, which has come to be resistant to the treatment with conventional antibiotics.
