Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting and receiving image data having plural pixel data. The method comprises the step of producing image control data for controlling the image data to be transmitted. The plural pixel data is represented by n color components, and pixel data represented by n+m color components is produced for sequential transmission on the basis of the pixel data represented by the n color components. The image control data are transmitted for a period of time when the pixel data represented by the n color components are not provided in the period of time when pixel represented by n+m color components are transmitted. An image process is executed for either the pixel data represented by the n color components or the pixel data represented by the n+m color components on the basis of the image control data.

Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus comprises a timer for measuring an elapse of time from a predetermined measurement start timing, a backup power source for supplying power to the timer when a main power source is turned off, and a controller for changing the content and/or the frequency of a recover operation for recovering and preventing a discharge error in a discharge port for discharging ink on the basis of the elapsed time.

Abstract: A function expanding apparatus for a compact electronic device includes a casing having a supporting portion and a supporting plate attached to the casing to be movable in a predetermined direction. A pair of retaining portions are formed on the supporting plate. The rear portion of the electronic device is mounted on the supporting portion and is positioned in its width direction by a pair of positioning members provided at the supporting portion. The front end portion of the electronic device is mounted on the supporting plate and the retaining portions engage the front edge of the electronic device so as to restrain the movement of the electronic device in the depth direction thereof. The position of the retaining portion is adjusted by moving the supporting plate, in accordance with the depth of the mounted electronic device.

Abstract: A combustor of a gas turbine including fuel distributing and supplying means including a plurality of sets of fuel nozzles arranged circularly on the head of the combustor and each fuel nozzle being provided with a combustion primary air swirler, and a plurality of fuel supply systems each connected to one fuel nozzle or a plurality of fuel nozzles. One set of fuel nozzles is located inside another set of fuel nozzles and projects further inwardly into the interior of the combustor. The number of the fuel supply systems handling a supply of fuel can be increased or reduced depending on the volume of fuel.

Abstract: A method for treating a nitrogen oxide- and sulphur oxide-containing waste gas, in which gaseous ammonia is mixed with said waste gas, the resulting mixed gas is passed in the cross current direction through a first reactor provided with a moving bed of carbonaceous catalyst particles adapted to move downwards, the gas having passed through the upper part of said reaction is discharged outside of the reactor without undergoing treatment, the gas having passed through the lower part of the reactor is mixed with a fresh gaseous ammonia, and this mixed gas is passed in the cross current direction through a second reactor provided with a moving bed of carbonaceous catalyst particles adapted to move downwards and then discharged outside of the reactor.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner of a baseboard type which is concealed in a handsome article of furniture so that the vacuum cleaner concurrently serves as a piece of furniture. To this end, the vacuum cleaner herein disclosed comprises a housing structure of a substantially hollow cubic body having a first chamber adapted to accommodate therein a length of a flexible vacuum hose, a second chamber in which a source of vacuum is housed and a third chamber adapted to removably accommodate a dust collector. A lid is provided at either or both of the top and side of the housing structure and may provide for the convenient storage of some appurtenances such as floor brush, extensible wand, nozzle, etc. An automatic drawing mechanism for drawing a length of the flexible vacuum hose, that has been taken out of the hose chamber for use, back into the hose chamber is also provided.
