Abstract: An insertion apparatus includes a conductor guide member that guides a prescribed region of an electric conductor to a slot of a stator core, and a support body that supports the conductor guide member. In this configuration, the conductor guide member can float in an axial direction of the stator core.

Abstract: An electromagnetic coil is formed by winding a wire around a winding member of an insulator. The winding member is configured with a substantially polygonal shape. Further, in a winding step of winding the wire, which is supplied from a wire supply unit, around the winding member, when the wire reaches a corner portion of the winding member, a residual stress toward an outer side in the diametrical direction of the stator is imparted to the wire. Thereafter, portions of the insulative coating of the wire are subjected to fusion bonding.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus divides a screen of a display unit into a first display area for displaying a list of application items for a user to select an executable application and a second display area for displaying information regarding a state of the screen or a state of the information processing apparatus, and decides a display position of the first display area when the occurrence of an anomaly is detected. The apparatus displays the list of application items in the decided first display area whose display position is decided, and displays information regarding the anomaly in the second display area. The decided display position of the first display area is a position in which the size of the first display area is smaller than in the case in which an anomaly is not detected.

Abstract: A stator (1) includes a plurality of divided cores (3) arranged in circumferential direction to constitute a stator core (2), and a holder (4). Stator coils (5) are wound around the individual divided cores (3). The divided core (3) includes a tooth part (6), and an insulator (13) around which the stator coil (5) is wound. A plurality of projection portions (5a) are formed in the stator coil (5) when the stator coil (5) is wound around the insulator (13). The projection portions (5a) are wound on only short sides of the insulator (13), resulting that the stator coil (5) does not protrude from the long sides of the divided core (3), and when the divided cores (3) are arranged in the circumferential direction to constitute the stator (1), the stator (1) is normally driven without the stator coils (5) of the neighboring divided cores (3) contacting each other.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus which, to the extent possible, prevents an operation for protecting a printer engine from being uncompleted before power to the printer engine is shut down due to cancellation of a process that should be carried out by the printer engine. When a predetermined time period has elapsed since an instruction to reduce power consumption was detected, power to the printer engine is shut down. When the instruction is detected, a canceling instruction for canceling the process that should be carried out by the printer engine is issued to the printer engine. Responsive to this, a cancellation process for the process is started, and an engine protecting instruction for protecting the printer engine without waiting for completion of the cancellation process is issued to the printer engine. After the operation for protecting the printer engine is carried out, power to the printer engine is shut down.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a conveying unit that conveys a stored sheet to a position where the sheet can be picked up based on received instructions to pick up the stored sheet on which an image is printed. The printing apparatus performs control such that the sheet is not conveyed by the conveying unit while the sheet is being stored in the storage unit.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus determines a remaining recording material amount based on a sensor value and a predicted value. When a sensor falsely detects the remaining recording material amount, the image forming apparatus appropriately determines the remaining recording material amount. Upon acquisition of a new sensor value, the image forming apparatus does not update a current value with the new sensor value if a difference between the new sensor value and the current value is a predetermined value or greater.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus divides a screen of a display unit into a first display area for displaying a list of application items for a user to select an executable application and a second display area for displaying information regarding a state of the screen or a state of the information processing apparatus, and decides a display position of the first display area when the occurrence of an anomaly is detected. The apparatus displays the list of application items in the decided first display area whose display position is decided, and displays information regarding the anomaly in the second display area. The decided display position of the first display area is a position in which the size of the first display area is smaller than in the case in which an anomaly is not detected.

Abstract: In a printing apparatus having full-color and monochrome print processes and a method therefor, whether a page to be printed is color or monochrome is checked. The presence of an immediately preceding page which is successively printed before a page to be printed that is determined to be monochrome, and the attribute of the immediately preceding page are determined. The presence of a succeeding page which is successively printed after the page to be printed, and the attribute of the succeeding page are determined. The number of pages corresponding to the determination results is set. The print process of the page to be printed is decided on the basis of the presence of succeeding pages corresponding to the number of pages and their attributes.

Abstract: An image forming device includes a priority task startup detection unit to detect that startup of a priority task is completed, a job acceptance unit configured to change a status to a job acceptable status and accept a job when it is detected that the startup of the priority task is completed, a first startup control unit to start the non-priority task when a predetermined time has elapsed since it is detected that the startup of the priority task is completed, and a second startup control unit to start the non-priority task a job is accepted from the time it is detected that the startup of the priority task is completed to when the predetermined time has elapsed and if all processing of all jobs, including the accepted job is terminated.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus is provided in which, in a case where a calculated value is less than a predetermined value (for example, “low” level, or “out” level), and information indicating that a remaining toner amount is less than the predetermined value has not been acquired from a toner container, the predetermined value or a value a predetermined amount greater than the predetermined value is set as an initial value of the remaining toner amount.

Abstract: Print data is always stored securely in printing to prevent printing of the print data by another person in reprinting without being aware by the user of whether to storage it securely. To accomplish this, print data received from a data processing apparatus is stored, and print processing is executed. When reprinting of the stored print data is instructed after printing, input of authentication information for reprinting is requested. When authentication information input in accordance with the request and authentication information of the stored print data coincide with each other, print processing based on the stored print data is executed.
