Abstract: The present invention relates to fillers for flue-gas treatment comprising by preparing two kinds of large and small fillers with different diameters of cylinder bodies each of which comprising by plurally providing circular windows having hole diameter from one third to two thirds of diameter of a thin-walled cylinder body on a cylinder wall of the thin-walled cylinder body that the diameter and the length thereof are approximately equal in a circumferential direction of the thin-walled cylinder body, wherein the smaller filler (hereinafter, saying “the small filler”) is installed in an inner diameter side of the larger filler (hereinafter, saying “the large filler”) and the small filler is supported loosely in a suspended state to the cylinder body o the large filler by a suspending retainer, so that the small filler is constituted movably along an inner surface of the cylinder body of the large filler.

Abstract: When two or more post-processing devices are designated for a print job, two or more attribute values (finished size, imposition method, finishing, etc.) of each print attributes which can be set for the print job are allowed to set. When two or more finished size attribute values are set, finished pages having a size smaller than a given finished size and register marks are sequentially laid out in a finished page having the given finished size in a nested manner.

Abstract: Provided is a method of producing lavandulal at a high yield by controlling formation of its isomer of lavandulal as a by-product. In a method of producing lavandulal by making an acetal compound represented by the following formula (I) react with 3-methyl-1-butene-3-ol in the presence of an acid catalyst, the method includes: adding, to a liquid mixture comprising an acid catalyst, an acetal compound represented by the following formula (I), and 3-methyl-1-butene-3-ol in at least a portion of an amount to be used (3-methyl-1-butene-3-ol (a)), 3-methyl-1-butene-3-ol in the other portion of the amount to be used (3-methyl-1-butene-3-ol (b)); and maintaining the liquid mixture at a temperature of 110° C. or higher: in which Each R in the formula (I) represents an alkyl group.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with printers includes: an application to set printing setting information as a document to be printed; a printer driver to generate printing data by employing the printing setting information specified by the application and the document; a determining unit to determine whether the printing setting information to be set using the printer driver is included in the printing setting information set using the application, using selected printer attributes and printing setting information set using the application; and a display to display information relating to printing settings to be set using the printer driver of the selected printer in a case the determining unit determines that the printing setting information to be set using the printer driver is included. If a printer is selected which cannot be controlled by a binding application, the binding application displays items to be set with a printer driver.

Abstract: According to a document processing method for a document processing apparatus which lays out page data that form a document by a plurality of pages on one print medium, and sets the print form of the document, set attribute information is acquired as the print form of the document. When cut edge position designation for cutting, after printing, the print medium on which pages are laid out has been set in the acquired attribute information, layout control is executed in which the head/tail orientation of the second page corresponding to the latter half of the document is reversely rotated with respect to the first page corresponding to the former half of the document and the second page is imposed on the print medium.

Abstract: According to this invention, bookbinding data containing pages created by respective applications can be constructed regardless of the type of application. Even when one or more desired pages contained in bookbinding data are selected, image editing is designated, but a non-image page exists in the selected pages, the non-image page can be excluded from editing targets, and the process can shift to image editing. For this purpose, when a plurality of pages are selected and image editing is designated, whether each selected page is an editable image page is determined. An editable page is temporarily stored. After all the selected pages are determined, an image editing application is activated to edit stored editable image pages.
