  • Patent number: 6807380
    Abstract: Tag side antennas attached at cartridge accessories and main body side antennas can be disposed sufficiently close to one another and facing one another without an increase in size of a device, even if the tag side antennas cannot be attached so as to cover end surface portions of the cartridge accessories and/or the number of the cartridge accessories mounted at the device main body is large. Tag side antennas disposed at each of toner cartridges are formed by conductive wiring in coil shapes. The toner cartridges are supported such that axes of these coils are substantially orthogonal to an insertion/removal direction at a cartridge holder. A main body side antenna is also formed by conductive wiring in a coil shape, has a coil axis substantially orthogonal to the insertion/removal direction, and may be supported interposed in a space between two of the toner cartridges.

  • Publication number: 20040205040
    Abstract: An experience-knowledge information processing apparatus that manages knowledge acquired from personal experiences so as to reuse the knowledge easily. Preferably, when information about knowledge acquired from a personal experience is inputted by a client, a server performs a process for associating the knowledge with an activity where the experience has been gained, and associating the knowledge with a knowledge creation process expressing a process for creating the knowledge on the basis of the description of the questionnaire. Thus, the knowledge information associated thus is accumulated in an experience-knowledge database. A two-dimensional table indicating the total number of pieces of knowledge with activities and knowledge creation processes in columns and rows, a knowledge propagation state graph, or the like, is displayed and outputted by a process of an experience-knowledge processing portion based on the information accumulated in the experience-knowledge database.

  • Publication number: 20040201865
    Abstract: A method for smooth trapping of an object containing run length encoded image pixel data, includes collecting a number of scanlines of run length encoded pixel data equal to 2M in a buffer, wherein M is a line width trap threshold; determining those runs within the collected scanlines that require trapping, wherein a run is a portion of a scanline; if trapping is required in the fast scan direction and the length of the run requiring trapping is less than M, reducing the width of the trap region by a prorated percent. If trapping is required in the slow scan direction, and the number of runs above and below the run to be trapped is less than M, reducing the number of runs above and below the run to be trapped by a prorated percentage.

  • Publication number: 20040202366
    Abstract: A method for smooth trapping of thin graphical objects, wherein a thin graphical object has a width dimension which is substantially less than the object's length dimension, includes receiving from a trap generator the location of a trap pixel that should be changed in color; determining the width of the object containing the trap pixel; comparing the width of the object with a trap threshold width; if the size of the object is less than the trap threshold width, reducing the width of the trap region according to a predetermined relationship; and applying a trap correction to the trap pixel according to the reduced trap width. The predetermined relationship may be a linear relationship which reduces the trap width monotonically for object widths less than the trap threshold width. The method may be applied to small objects and small font text objects.

  • Publication number: 20040205449
    Abstract: A comment is compared to path mappings within a network for identifying a potential pathname of output data for an object within the publication data. If the output data is does not exist at the potential pathname, the comment is compared to search paths within the network to identify the potential pathname of the output data within the publication data. The potential pathname is substituted for the comment in the publication data. The publication data is prescanned. Optionally, the output data is gathered at a local disk. The publication data is output to an output medium via an output device.

  • Publication number: 20040203413
    Abstract: Tag attaching portions at cartridge parts which are loaded into different cartridge loading portions have common structures and configurations. A position of a wireless communication tag at the cartridge part is easily adjusted to a position suited for communication with a main body antenna. In a laser printer, accommodating chambers and accommodating portions are provided at plural regions of toner cartridges. The wireless communication tag is selectively inserted and fit into one of the accommodating chambers and accommodating portions, in accordance with a position of the cartridge loading portion in which the toner cartridge is loaded. In this way, in a state in which the toner cartridges are respectively loaded in the cartridge loading portions, the wireless communication tags are substantially parallel to and sufficiently close to the main body antennas of antenna units.

  • Publication number: 20040205376
    Abstract: The present invention provides a service processing system that process a service for performing predetermined linkage processing on document data among plural devices connected to a network according to predetermined processing contents. A log generating unit of the service processors generates logs of processing results in the respective service processors. Logs stored in the service processors are received by the log receiving unit of a linkage processing server, whether processing results of service linkage are normal or not is determined by comparing the processing results by a log comparison determination unit, and comparison result data as processing result logs is generated in a comparison determination result generating unit. The comparison result data is transmitted to a client terminal making a request to transmit linkage processing results.
