Abstract: An image forming apparatus that includes an application for performing processes on image formation and an control service for performing system side processes according to a function call from the application is provided, in which the image forming apparatus includes a wrapping part for converting a function called by the application, and performing a function call to the control service by using the converted function.

Abstract: A method for generating a new application used in an image forming apparatus is provided, in which the image forming apparatus includes hardware resources, an application and a control service, the method includes: a compile step of compiling a source file of the new application in which source code for calling a wrapping function is described so as to generate an object file, wherein the wrapping function performs processes relating to the control service on behalf of the new application; and a link step of linking the object file with a wrapping function library that includes the wrapping function so as to generate an executable program of the new application.

Abstract: An application development kit includes a control service executable file and a control service function library including service functions, which are installed in a HD 130 of the development server 100. A compiler 110 compiles a new application source file 132 so as to generate an object file 133 A linker 120 links the object file 133 with the control service function library so as to generate an application executable file 134. Then, the application executable file 134 and the control service executable file are stored in a launching flashcard 407 of a compound machine 300.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus has a latch circuit between a processing unit and a memory. Processed data produced by the processing unit is not directly written into a working area of the memory, but is temporarily stored in the latch circuit. A write operation of the processed data stored in the latch circuit is executed in parallel with a read operation for reading the next data to be processed out of the memory and/or an executing operation of the processing unit. Therefore, processing speed is much improved. In addition, the processed data in the latch circuit can be directly transferred to the processing unit without first having to be written into the memory.

Abstract: A data processor includes a barrel shifter receiving input data at input terminals thereof and producing shifted data at output terminals thereof in response to shift control data, the shifted data being temporarily stored in a storage circuit which, in turn, returns the data stored therein to the output terminals of the barrel shifter in response to a test-enable signal. Feed-back data derived from the input terminals of the barrel shifter by returning the stored data through the barrel shifter is then compared with the input data to produce a comparison output representing whether or not both data are the same.

Abstract: An information handling system for a memory includes an input section, a storage section and an output section. The information handling system is constructed to selectively provide a direct signal link between the input section and the output section without storage of the transmitted signal. Control circuits are provided to selectively cause storage of data, read-out of data, data pass-through without storage or the simultaneous carrying out of a plurality of the aforementioned operations.
