Patent number: 8522026Abstract: This invention provides an automatic authentication method and system in a print process, which can obviate the need for user's input operations of the user ID and password and can improve security since authentication is automatically done based on print information embedded in a file or information from an application program without any user's input. In a print process that requires user authentication, a printer driver extracts information related to an application and/or a document for the print process as attribute information, and user authentication is made by comparing the attribute information with information stored in a user registration information database of a server. If user authentication has succeeded, the printer driver controls a printer to print, and the server manages and stores accounting information and the like for respective departments in a department management information database.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2007Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hiroshi Koga

Publication number: 20120268462Abstract: In a digital color image of longitudinal melanonychia, RGB parameter values of each pixel are assumed as three components to form a three-dimensional vector. Latitudinal and longitudinal variables are obtained for each three-dimensional vector in an RGB space. The latitudinal and longitudinal variables are used to define a distribution of points, and from the distribution, a discrimination index is found. The discrimination index is classified according to a threshold, to discriminate whether the longitudinal melanonychia is malignant or benign. The distribution of points is displayed to realize visualization of the malignancy of the longitudinal melanonychia.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2010Publication date: October 25, 2012Applicant: MITAKA KOHKI CO., LTD.Inventors: Takayuki Sota, Juzo Fujii, Hiroshi Koga

Patent number: 8259336Abstract: In this invention, a combined job obtained by combining a plurality of jobs is authenticated as a single job. According to the arrangement of this invention, when print jobs are to be spooled, these jobs are transferred from a dispatcher to a spooler where the jobs are combined. Upon reception of a print instruction, the print job is read out from a spool file, transferred from a despooler to a graphic engine again, and transferred from the dispatcher to a printer driver. At this time, the printer driver issues an authentication request in printing to a job accounting client. Thus, only one authentication request suffices for one combined job.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2011Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasuhiro Kujirai, Hiroshi Koga, Shigeki Kuroda, Shinichi Yamamura, Kazunori Masaki

Publication number: 20090026872Abstract: Although in a conventional permanent magnet type synchronous motor, cogging torque is reduced by displacing permanent magnets of a rotor in a circumferential direction or displacing a stator core in a circumferential direction, since the skew so produced reduces the output of the motor and moreover the winding work of windings cannot be automated to make the resulting motor highly expensive, split cores are provided which solves those problems and enables the winding work of windings to be automated so as to obtain an inexpensive and high-output motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2007Publication date: January 29, 2009Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA YASKAWA DENKIInventors: Kenji Tomohara, Seiji Miyazaki, Mitsuhiro Koga, Makoto Matsumoto, Hiroshi Koga, Shinichi Sakamoto
