  • Patent number: 9635203
    Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes an image reading circuit, an instruction accepting circuit, a timer circuit, a standby time determining circuit, and a reading start timing control circuit. The instruction accepting circuit accepts an image reading instruction. The timer circuit sets a preliminary specified reference event as an origin. The timer circuit measures an elapsed time from the origin until the instruction accepting circuit accepts the image reading instruction. The standby time determining circuit determines a standby time based on the elapsed time measured by the timer circuit. The reading start timing control circuit causes the image reading circuit to start image reading of the document at an elapse of the standby time determined by the standby time determining circuit from the reference event when the reference event occurs after the standby time determining circuit determines the standby time.

  • Patent number: 9632965
    Abstract: Ethernet physical sublayer (PHY) devices each provide PHY register data. One or more of the Ethernet PHY devices are connected to each of one or more management data input/output (MDIO)/management data clock (MDC) interfaces to which a number of MDIO/MDC controllers are connected. Each MDIO/MDC controller polls a corresponding MDIO/MDC interface to receive the PHY register data from the one or more Ethernet PHY devices connected thereto. The MDIO/MDC controllers store portions of the PHY register data received from the Ethernet PHY devices to a memory to which an interface is connected. A processor connected to the interface accesses the portions of the PHY register data stored to the memory. The processor can retrieve the portions of the PHY register data over the interface more quickly than the MDIO/MDC controllers can retrieve the PHY register data over the MDIO/MDC interfaces.
