Abstract: A facsimile apparatus for transmitting an image of an original. Image data is obtained by reading the original image and is stored. The resolution of the stored image data is converted into a desired resolution according to a nominal resolution of the apparatus based on a predetermined facsimile procedure, and the image data having the converted resolution is transmitted.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises a memory for storing image data of each of a plurality of blocks of an input image data, a buffer for delaying the input image data and a processor for processing the image data supplied from the buffer in a processing manner determined by the output of the memory.

Abstract: The present invention provides a data receiving apparatus constituted in such a manner that the received data is converted into a binary code and this binary code data is encoded and this encoded data is stored in a memory, whereby a large quantity of data can be stored in a memory of a small capacity. After subsequently decoding the received encoded data, this decoded data is further encoded by another encoding means and this encoded data is stored in the memory, thereby providing an efficient and economical data receiving apparatus which can smoothly perform the data processing even in the case where the transmission speed of the data and the recording speed of the recording apparatus remarkably differ.

Abstract: An electronic instrument having display means and printing means is provided with informing means for informing the operator as to whether the display means or the printing means has been used. Thus, the electronic instrument becomes easier to use and suffers less from malfunctioning.

Abstract: An electronic instrument with a non-volatile display comprises a drive control circuit for controlling the display, first and second clear means for respectively clearing the non-volatile display and the drive control circuit, and a single clear instruction generating circuit for generating a signal to actuate both first and second clear means. Thus the non-volatile display and the control circuit may be cleared simultaneously.

Abstract: There is disclosed an electronic device which comprises means for detecting the occurrence of voltage fluctuation in the input or output voltage of a power source to produce an output signal, and means operative in response to the output signal for disabling a portion of the electronic device, such as a liquid crystal display element, thereby substantially elongating the lifetime of the particular portion of the electronic device.
