  • Publication number: 20250023989
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image reading section for reading an image of a document to generate image data including image abnormality, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor performs the following processing: Transmitting the image data to an external apparatus; determining whether or not the image data includes confidential information; when it is determined that the image data includes confidential information, saving the image data in a predetermined storage section without transmitting the image data to the external apparatus; and when the image data is saved in the storage section, transmitting access information for accessing the image data saved in the storage section to the external apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8755089
    Abstract: An image scanning apparatus includes a transport roller transporting an original, a CCD scanning a first side of the original, a CIS scanning unit scanning a second side of the original, and a flap for reversing the original and sending the original to a transport path. A CPU controls the transport roller, the CCD and the CIS scanning unit to scan each side of the original. The CPU determines from the result of scanning whether or not each side of the original includes a predetermined pattern. When the CPU cannot identify from the result of scanning of the second side whether or not the second side includes a predetermined pattern, the CPU controls the flap and a transport unit to reverse the original and cause the CCD to scan the second side.

  • Patent number: 8680092
    Abstract: A compound represented by formula (I): (wherein the symbols are the same as defined in the description), a salt thereof, an N-oxide thereof, a solvate thereof or a prodrug thereof, and medicinal use thereof. The compound represented by formula (I) has CXCR4 antagonistic activity. It is hence useful as, e.g., a preventive and/or therapeutic agent for CXCR4-mediated diseases such as inflammatory/immunologic diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis, retinopathy, pulmonary fibrosis, and rejection reactions of transplanted organs), allergic diseases, infections diseases (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immunologic deficiency syndrome), psychoneurotic diseases, cerebral diseases, cardiac/vascular disease, metabolic diseases, cancer diseases (e.g., cancer, cancer metastasis) or as an agent for regeneration therapy.

  • Publication number: 20110149351
    Abstract: An image reading device includes a transport unit for transporting a document, a scanner for scanning image data of the document transported by the transport unit, and a controller for controlling the image reading device. The controller extracts a plurality of one-character areas included in the image data, recognizes character data of each of the extracted one-character areas, determines presence or absence of line noise based on a result of recognition of each of the one-character areas, and displays presence of the line noise on an operation panel when it is determined that there is the line noise.
