  • Publication number: 20110299108
    Abstract: An image processing system includes a first image processing apparatus and a second image processing apparatus connected to the first image processing apparatus. The first image processing apparatus includes a reader reading image data, a storage storing job information, a request unit transmitting a job request as a job to the second image processing apparatus to execute the job corresponding to the job information based on a job execution scheduling, and an introducing unit introducing the job information to the second image processing apparatus. The second image processing apparatus includes a receiver receiving the job request from the first image processing apparatus as the job, a job executing unit executing the job corresponding to the job information, a determining unit determining whether to acquire the job information based on the job execution scheduling, and an acquiring unit acquiring the job information based on a determined result from the determining unit.

  • Patent number: 8073143
    Abstract: A configuration is provided which enables usage management and secure data management of data newly generated or obtained that is different from data already stored in an information recording medium. New data such as information which the user has newly generated or downloaded related to content information increments of content management information stored in an information recording medium is recorded as configuration data of the content management unit, in the form of encrypted data to which a unit key corresponding to the content management unit, or a unit key corresponding to a new content management unit, has been applied. According to this configuration, secure data management and usage management is realized for new data the same as with data corresponding to original units.

  • Patent number: 5730977
    Abstract: The present invention provides an anti-VEGF human monoclonal antibody capable of binding to human VEGF to neutralize its activity, a cell strain producing said human monoclonal antibody, and a vascularization inhibitor containing said human monoclonal antibody. Hybridoma strains VA01 and BL2 producing the anti-VEGF human monoclonal antibody can also be provided according to the present invention by transformation with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) of human lymphocyte producing anti-human VEGF antibody and then fusing the transformant cells with human myeloma cells. The monoclonal antibody of the present invention can serve as a vascularization inhibitor which is useful for human because it is derived from human and capable of binding specifically to VEGF participating in vascularization, to inhibit the migration or proliferation of vascular endothelial cells.
