Abstract: A tool includes a socket and an attachment that includes a shaft portion. The shaft portion transmits torque to the socket. The socket includes a distal end face, a proximal end face, an accommodation hole that opens in the distal end face, and a connection hole that opens in the proximal end face and is connected to the accommodation hole. The shaft portion includes an outer peripheral surface provided with a first transmission surface for transmitting torque to the inner peripheral surface of the connection hole. The accommodation hole includes an inner peripheral surface provided with a second transmission surface for transmitting torque to threaded fastener. The accommodation hole forms an accommodation space capable of accommodating threaded fasteners in a row. The shaft portion includes, at a distal end, a contact portion, which contacts one of the threaded fasteners accommodated in the accommodation space.

Abstract: An image coding method that compresses an image read through an optical system. An image separation section carries out image area decisions in tile (macro block) units to separate the image into photographic image tiles and character image tiles. A layer separation section performs layer separation pixel by pixel to separate each pixel into pixels belonging to a background and pixels belonging to a foreground. Approximation processors alleviate an increase of entropy, due to layer separation through approximation processing, and carry out JPEG-like processing on photographic images.

Abstract: By allowing cellulose and a base to coexist in water at a reaction temperature of not less than 150° C. but less than 400° C. at a pressure of 5 MPa or more, the cellulose is directly degraded into lactic acid. The weight ratio of the base relative to the cellulose is within the range from 0.5 to 8.

Abstract: An arithmetic decoding apparatus is provided that carries out complete pipeline processing. Fluctuations in the pipeline caused by occurrence of the normalization are resolved by using a future-predicted Qe memory. In coding multi-valued images, common contexts are generated without distinguishing between AC and DC components of DCT coefficients.

Abstract: An arithmetic coding apparatus for carrying out complete pipeline processing is provided. This arithmetic coding apparatus analyzes an input image, reads image information accurately and performs arithmetic coding at ultra-high speed. Using a future prediction type Qe memory removes disturbance in the pipeline caused by renormalization. The arithmetic coding apparatus also generates a common context when coding multi-valued images without distinguishing between an AC component and DC component of a DCT coefficient. The apparatus is also provided with a circuit for outputting an arithmetic code which is a variable-length code with the length fixed to facilitate editing of a reconstructed image.
