Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a search unit that searches a search area, which is a part of a first image extending over two pages included in the first image, for a dividable area, the first image being indicated by first image data and a division unit that generates second image data indicating two second images, each of which corresponds to one of the two pages, by dividing the first image along a dividing line passing through, in a second direction, which is perpendicular to a first direction, the dividable area found by the search unit, the first direction being a direction across the two pages.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first character recognition section that performs character recognition of an input image on an assumption that a character in the input image belongs to a first character type and outputs a first character recognition result being a result of the character recognition, a second character recognition section that performs character recognition of the input image on an assumption that the character in the input image belongs to a second character type and outputs a second character recognition section being a result of the character recognition, the second character type being a set obtained by adding at least one or more characters which do not belong to the first character type to a set of characters belonging to the first character type, and a matching section that performs matching of the first character recognition result with the second character recognition result, and, in a case where it is found that the first character recognition result does not match w

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein are directed to implementations that facilitate individuals to collect, store, and automatically extract procedural knowledge from their messaging interactions with collaborative groups. Example implementations involve chat interfaces to communicate and add the capability to tag text and media to organize content. Example implementations also add a new thread-like structure to the previously only linear time-line of a chat. Knowledge from the chat can then be extracted automatically into a high-quality multimedia document.

Abstract: A titanium oxide film by continuous titanium oxide, includes a metallic compound that has a metal atom and a hydrocarbon group and is bonded to a surface of the film, in which absorption occurs at wavelengths of 450 nm and 750 nm.

Abstract: A guide structure includes a contact member disposed downstream of a nipping unit in a transporting direction in which a recording medium is transported, the nipping unit nipping the recording medium between a heating roller, which heats an image formed on the recording medium that is transported, and a pressure roller, which presses the recording medium against the heating roller, the contact member protruding toward the recording medium and being rubbed against an image surface of the recording medium, on which the image is formed, while being in contact with the image surface over a region extending in a width direction of the recording medium and while the recording medium is nipped by the nipping portion.

Abstract: Rights holders such as copyright owners want to keep track of copying of printed materials owned by them. That information can be used to check if the person copying has a license. Alternatively, the information can be used for billing. In some countries, an intermediary such as a copyright agency may facilitate the tracking of such copying and the compensation of the rights holders. This system automates the process by monitoring copiers, matching copied images to materials owned by rights holders, and recording such copying actions including the identifier of the copier, the copying person, the number of copies, and the matched materials. Alternatively, the system may prevent the copying if there is no permission by the rights holders.

The content of the nonionic surfactant is from 0.05% by mass to 1% by mass inclusive based on the total mass of the toner. The external additive contains inorganic particles having an arithmetic mean particle diameter of from 50 nm to 400 nm inclusive and an average circularity of from 0.5 to 0.8 inclusive.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a sending unit and a controller. The sending unit sends a fax to a destination. The controller executes control for printing identification information for identifying the destination in accordance with selection made by a sender of the fax on paper output at the destination in response to sending of the fax. In a case where the sender of the fax selects a destination name as the identification information, if the destination name is unprintable as it is on the paper, the controller executes control for printing a phone number of the destination as the identification information on the paper.
