Abstract: A central transmits, to a peripheral connected with the central, re-connection information indicating a timing of a re-connection after a disconnection. Subsequently, the central executes a connection discontinuing process based on the re-connection information. In addition, the central controls power supply for wireless communication at a timing determined based on the re-connection information. Thereafter, the central executes a re-connection process with the peripheral based on the re-connection information shared therewith prior to the disconnection.

Abstract: A sheet cassette includes a housing, a cassette bottom plate, a side regulation plate, and a DF prevention plate. Spacers are respectively arranged at three portions, that is, the center and both sides of the cassette bottom plate on the sheet feeding side. When a curled release sheet is placed on the sheet cassette, the spacers partially support the front end of the release sheet in the sheet feeding direction from below. Therefore, force acts on the release sheet to suppress the height of the curl by the own weight of the release sheet. When the curl of the release sheet is suppressed, the curled release sheet is stably fed.

Abstract: A double buffer (four pages×2 system) constituted by a DSP program buffer (D-RAM) and a prefetch program buffer (D-RAM) is provided, and burst access is performed collectively for four samplings from the prefetch program buffer (D-RAM). When this burst access is performed, a decline in performance caused by latency that occurs each time an external memory (DDR-SDRAM) is accessed is avoided by accessing with sequential addresses.

Abstract: A resonance strength table is prepared, which stores a relation between a pitch difference and a resonance strength, wherein the pitch difference is a difference between a pitch assigned to the key number of a pressed key and a pitch assigned to each of key numbers of a resonance tone. When a key is pressed, the resonance strength table is referred to, and resonance strengths concerning the key numbers of a resonance tone are determined. Then, note-on events of a resonance tone are produced based on the key numbers and the decided resonance strengths and the produced note-on events are sent to a sound source.

Abstract: In a digital signage apparatus, a controller makes an imaging unit photograph in a first image quality mode and performs face recognition to a captured image obtained by the imaging unit. When the predetermined condition is satisfied in which the behavior of the person in front of the digital signage apparatus is assumed to be interested in the digital signage apparatus, the controller makes the imaging unit photograph in the second image quality mode higher than the first image quality and performs the face recognition to the captured image obtained by the imaging unit. The above case includes cases where the user operation has been detected, where the size of the face recognized from the captured image is equal to or larger than the predetermined size, and where the moving amount of the face recognized from the captured image is equal to or less than the predetermined amount.

Abstract: An environment information measuring device (200) transmits to a communication terminal (100) an advertisement including a “no_data” flag indicating that there is no data that should be transmitted, when a transmission condition indicating the necessity of data transmission is not satisfied. When the “no_data” flag is not included in the advertisement transmitted by the environment information measuring device (200), the communication terminal (100) executes a connection action process with the environment information measuring device (200) and accomplishes sending data to and receiving data from the environment information measuring device (200). In contrast, when the “no_data” flag is included in the advertisement transmitted by the environment information measuring device (200), the communication terminal (100) does not execute the connection action process with the environment information measuring device (200).
