  • Patent number: 12003677
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an operation device; a storage that stores classification determination information and a user classification rule; a memory that stores instructions; and a processor. The processor executes the instructions stored to: input image data on a document; acquire the input image data on the document; acquire, from the acquired image data, feature quantity; and update the user classification rule. The user classification rule is information in which a criterion for classifying a document having specific feature quantity is set for each user in association with the specific feature quantity. When the user uses the operation device to perform a specific classification operation on image data on a document having the acquired feature quantity, the processor executes the instructions to change a criterion of the user classification rule of the user associated with the acquired feature quantity to a criterion corresponding to the specific classification operation.

  • Patent number: 12002536
    Abstract: A sensing module, a memory device, and a sensing method are provided to perform a read operation so that the un-programmed/programmed state of a memory cell is identified. The sensing module includes a sensing amplifier and a current sink, and both are electrically connected to the memory cell. The sensing amplifier generates a sensing current and identifies the un-programmed/programmed state of the memory cell accordingly. The current sink receives a reference current being equivalent to the summation of the sensing current and a cell current flowing through the memory cell. The reference current is constant, and the sensing current is changed with the cell current. The cell current is generated based on a high read voltage and a low read voltage applied to the memory cell. The sensing current is higher if the memory cell is un-programmed, and the sensing current is lower if the memory cell is programmed.
