Abstract: A communication apparatus and a communication device that are selectively connectable to each other. A transmitter, associated with one of the communication apparatus and the communication device, transmits a first predetermined signal, such as, for example, an MS signal, to designate a specific mode to the other one of the communication apparatus and the communication device. The first predetermined signal includes an identification field that stores modulation independent information and a standard information field that stores modulation dependent information. A receiver receives a second predetermined signal, such as, for example, an ACK signal or a NACK signal, in response to the first predetermined signal from the other one of the communication apparatus and the communication device.

Abstract: The network facsimile apparatus switches a status icon registered in a structured document for displaying a status icon, corresponding to a status change, while transmitting the structured document corresponding to a request from a client. Thus the apparatus enables the client to observe the latest status icon in homepage format.

Abstract: A POP access section accesses a POP3 server using a first user ID/password registered in a user ID registration table, fetches message information from a mailbox of the user ID, and stores it to RAM. A message information extracting section extracts necessary information from the message information, and stores it to be associated with the user ID. Thereafter, a reception list generating section reads message information of all user IDs from RAM, and generates a reception list. Sequentially, the reception list generating section outputs the generated reception list. A user, who has seen the reception list, instructs the POP access section to fetch an e-mail message from a panel control section. This improves communication concealment.

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus is connected to a telephone network and to an internet network. The facsimile apparatus is capable of receiving E-mail data via the internet network and transmitting facsimile data to a facsimile destination via the telephone network. A detector detects a password indicating an instruction to relay the received E-mail data to the facsimile destination, and a telephone number of the facsimile destination, in a mail address of the E-mail data. A generator, when the detector detects the password and the telephone number, deletes the password from the mail address, and generates header information including a mail address after deleting the password. A converter converts the E-mail data, including the header information, into facsimile data. A transmitter transmits the converted facsimile data with the header information, but without the password to the facsimile destination indicated by the telephone number.

Abstract: A photocopier includes an intermediate member that is provided pivotably to the photocopier through a freely pivoting joint and an opening and closing cover that is provided pivotably to the intermediate member through a freely pivoting joint. The intermediate member is connected to the photocopier at one edge of the intermediate member. Further, the opening and closing cover is connected to the intermediate member at other edge opposite to the edge of the intermediate member. When the opening and closing cover is opened, image recording system located within the photocopier is exposed.

Abstract: An input value from a panel is analyzed by mail address analyze means. A determination section performs determination based on the analysis result. When an identification character “@” is detected in the input value, the determination section instructs an encryption processing section to execute encryption processing, which is made to correspond to the identification character “@”. A mail transmitting section transmits data subjected to encryption processing in accordance with an e-mail transfer protocol. An operator has only to add the identification character “@” to a recipient address from the panel so that an image communication apparatus executes encryption processing. This eliminates the need for adding a new button when a new function is added to the image communication apparatus.

Abstract: Error addition section 201 generates correction data by adding correction value Emo and correction value E1 to the input data. Binary processing section 202 converts the correction data to binary data to generate output data. Binary error calculation section 203 calculates binary error E based on the correction data and output data. Propagation coefficient judgment section 204 judges propagation coefficients K1 to K4. Propagation error operation section 205 operates on binary error E and propagation coefficients K1 to K4 to calculate correction value E1 and correction value Emi. Error memory 206 temporarily stores correction value Emi, and outputs it to error addition section 201 when the pixel data to be corrected is input.

Abstract: A photocopier includes a toner bottle that discharges toner from an opening by a rotation, a motor that rotates the toner bottle and a contacting section provided at a position through which a protrusion of the toner bottle passes when the protrusion comes down by the rotation of the toner bottle. When the weight of the toner bottle is more than or equal to a predetermined value, the contacting section descends by the weight of the toner bottle when the protrusion passes through the contacting section, and the contacting section ascend when the protrusion passes away from the contacting section. When the weight of the toner bottle is less than a predetermined value, the contacting section doesn't descend by the weight of the toner bottle.

Abstract: A communication apparatus at a remote location is connectable to a communication apparatus at a central location. The apparatus includes a negotiation data transmitter that transmits negotiation data to the communication apparatus at the central location. The negotiation data includes an identification field that includes at least modulation independent information, a standard information field that includes at least modulation dependent information, and a non-standard information field that includes information other than information associated with the identification field and information associated with the standard information field.

Abstract: A server stores original data without a wate r-mark. When a user at a terminal apparatus connected with the server requests the server to display the original data on a display of the terminal apparatus, the server transforms the original data into an image data. Then the server adds a water-mark to the image data and transmits the image data with the water-mark to the terminal apparatus.

Abstract: Method for performing a startup session to establish a communication session between a remote communication system and a central communication system. A start-up procedure is initiated by one of the remote communication system and the central communication system. The remote communication system selects one of a full-duplex operating mode and a half-duplex operating mode in response to a request by the central communication system. The remote communication system and the central communication system then exchange data representing a capability of at least one communication standard that is usable by each communication system to select a mutually compatible communication standard, so that the remote communication system can initiate the communication session using the acknowledged full duplex or half duplex operating mode.

The apparatus transmits a plurality of types of modulation method control signals to each of the plurality of electric appliances, each type of control signal utilizing a different modulation method. When receiving a response from each electric appliance, the apparatus detects to which type of modulation method control signal the response was made and judges the type of the modulation method that is utilized in each electric appliance based on the detection.

Abstract: Provided is a printing plate comprising a substrate and a hydrophilic porous layer formed on a surface of the substrate. Typically, the substrate is made of aluminum plate, and the porous substrate consists of an anodized layer. Owing to the porous nature of the surface of the printing plate, the imaging resin deposited on the surface of the printing plate seeps into the printing plate and is thereby securely anchored to the printing plate so that an adequate bonding force between the imaging resin and printing plate can be ensured. Also, by suitably controlling the amount of the imaging resin that seeps or penetrates into the porous layer, an adequate thickness of the imaging resin on the surface of the printing plate can be ensured, and this also contributes to the wear resistance of the printing plate.
