  • Patent number: 7611050
    Abstract: When user identification information is input, if user data including the input user identification information is stored, an MFP serving as an operation terminal requests an MFP serving as a home terminal specified by the apparatus identification information associated with the accepted user identification information by the user data to transmit the registered user information including the input user identification information and stores the registered user information received in response to the transmission request. Therefore, with a user's simple operation of inputting user identification information at an MFP as an operation terminal, the registered user information is transmitted from an MFP as a home terminal storing the registered user information and is then stored in the MFP as an operation terminal.

  • Publication number: 20090189728
    Abstract: This invention provides an amorphous transformer for electric power supply, using a magnetic core formed of an amorphous alloy material, which, as compared with the conventional amorphous alloy material, has a lower annealing temperature and a higher level of magnetic properties. The amorphous transformer for electric power supply is provided with a magnetic core of a thin band of an amorphous alloy and a winding wire. The iron core has been annealed under such conditions that the iron core center part temperature during annealing after iron core molding is 300 to 340° C. and the holding time is not less than 0.5 hr. Further, for the iron core, the magnetic field intensity during annealing after the iron core molding is not less than 800 A/m.

  • Patent number: 7471183
    Abstract: There is provided a joint structure of a wound iron core in which iron core characteristics can be enhanced by improving the distribution of magnetic flux within an iron core. A wound iron core is formed to provide a joining structure or a butt joining structure and a lap joining structure disposed in an appropriate arrangement in which the a margin of overlapping is more increased as being closer to an outer periphery from an inner periphery of the iron core, taking a distribution of magnetic flux density within the iron core into consideration.

  • Publication number: 20080068121
    Abstract: The iron core characteristics of an amorphous iron core transformer degrade significantly when machining from material into a transformer. This phenomenon is suppressed to improve the iron core characteristics of the finished transformer products. In the present invention, an insulating thin film is formed in at least one side of an amorphous ribbon, and is formed in at least one for each plurality of amorphous ribbons of iron core material. Moreover, in the surface of the amorphous ribbon that is the iron core material of the amorphous iron core transformer, silane or the like is vapor deposited to form an insulating thin film, the insulating thin film being formed in the thickness of approximately 1 ?m. With such structure, an increase in eddy current loss occurring when machining from the material into a transformer is suppressed to reduce no-load loss of the transformer.

  • Publication number: 20070214508
    Abstract: When a new MFP is connected in a state where a plurality of MFPs are connected to a network, each of a plurality of MFPs obtains an IP address of MPF from the new MFP, and if user data including the obtained IP address is stored, then transmits to the new MFP the registered user information associated with the obtained IP address by the user data. On the other hand, if user data including the obtained IP address is not stored in HDD, the new MFP is requested to transmit registered user information. Upon reception of the registered user information, the new MFP displays a confirmation window to ask the user for permission to write that registered user information into HDD. Upon reception of the request, the new MFP transmits registered user information. This facilitates the setting for newly connecting an apparatus to the network.
