  • Patent number: 8965806
    Abstract: An image managing apparatus includes a storage unit that stores image data, a receive unit that receives an image transmission request, and a controller. Herein, the controller adds security information to the image data and transmits the image data from the storage unit to an external apparatus in response to the image transmission request. Moreover, the controller determines whether to add the security information to the image data on the basis of a value of a security addition flag for the box in which the image data is stored or a value of a security addition flag for the image data.

  • Patent number: 7063843
    Abstract: Human protein C and activated protein C were shown to bind to endothelium specifically, selectively and saturably (Kd=30 nM, 7000 sites per cell) in a Ca2+ dependent fashion. Expression cloning revealed a 1.3 kb cDNA that coded for a novel type I transmembrane glycoprotein capable of binding protein C. This protein appears to be a member of the CD1/MHC superfamily. Like thrombomodulin, the receptor involved in protein C activation, the endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) function and message are both down regulated by exposure of endothelium to TNF. Identification of EPCR as a member of the CD1/MHC superfamily provides insights into the role of protein C in regulating the inflammatory response, and determination of methods for pharmaceutical use in manipulating the inflammatory response.

  • Publication number: 20050210111
    Abstract: An e-mail terminal receives a URL and specification information which specifies a condition for obtaining web page data indicated by the URL, and transmits an e-mail which includes the URL and the specification information to an e-mail server. The e-mail server receives the e-mail which includes the URL and the specification information, and obtains the web page data indicated by the URL, according to the specification information. Then, the e-mail server attaches the web page data to the e-mail and transfers the e-mail to other e-mail server or e-mail terminal.
