  • Patent number: 11991773
    Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a transition unit and a control unit. In a case where a wireless communication path to each of a first base station and a second base station is established, the transition unit transitions from an RRC_CONNECTED state to an RRC_INACTIVE state compliant with a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard. In a case where the transition unit transitions to the RRC_INACTIVE state, the control unit performs control to selectively execute operating in a first mode for waiting for a notification signal from each of the first and second base stations or operating in a second mode for waiting for a notification signal from either the first base station or the second base station, based on a state of the communication apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11991327
    Abstract: An image reading device includes first glass, an adjacent portion adjacent to the first glass, a reading unit, and a position reference portion. The first glass enables an document to be placed on a front surface side of the document. The reading unit is capable of being in contact with at least one of the adjacent portion and the first glass and reads, from a back surface side of the first glass, the document placed on the first glass by using a sensor while moving from the adjacent portion side in a movement direction. The position reference portion is disposed on the front surface side of the first glass and serves as a reference of a position of the reading unit in the movement direction. When the position reference portion is read by the reading unit, the reading unit is in contact with the adjacent portion and the first glass.

  • Patent number: 11988973
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus has a normal image formation mode and a wide color gamut image formation mode in which an amount of a developer per unit area of a developer image of at least a color that differs from a prescribed color among a plurality of colors is increased as compared to the normal image formation mode. Image data is generated such that an image portion formed in the prescribed color in an image formed on a recording material is formed solely by a developer image of the prescribed color in the normal image formation mode, but formed by superimposing a developer image of a color that differs from the prescribed color on a developer image of the prescribed color or formed solely by a developer image of a different color in place of a developer image of the prescribed color in the wide color gamut image formation mode.
