  • Patent number: 11792632
    Abstract: A communication method includes establishing a wireless connection between an image forming apparatus and an external access point by a wireless communication unit, establishing a direct wireless connection between the image forming apparatus and a communication partner apparatus by the wireless communication unit without the external access point, concurrently maintaining the wireless connection and the direct wireless connection with each other, and performing print processing based on data received by the wireless communication unit. The external access point is searched in a case where the wireless connection between the image forming apparatus and the external access point is disconnected, the direct wireless connection between the image forming apparatus and the communication partner apparatus is maintained, while the external access point is searched, and the external access point is external to the image forming apparatus and is external to the communication partner apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20230285411
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to identify a drug formulation for the treatment or prevention of glaucoma or ocular hypertension, wherein the drug formulation exhibits an effect in patients with drug-refractory glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Sepetaprost is expected to exhibit an excellent intraocular pressure-lowering action in patients with otherwise drug-refractory glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The drug formulation according to the present invention containing sepetaprost as an active ingredient is therefore useful as a drug formulation that can treat or prevent glaucoma or ocular hypertension in patients with otherwise drug-refractory glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
