  • Publication number: 20100245891
    Abstract: Methods disclosed permit the accelerated printing of documents. In some embodiments, a method for accelerating the printing of documents utilizes a first pre-processed file, which is obtained by pre-processing a second file. The pre-processed file is associated with stored attribute information for the second file. When a print request is received for the second file, updated file attribute information for the second file is retrieved and used to determine if there are content changes to the second file. In some embodiments, content changes may be detected by comparing the retrieved updated file attribute information with the stored file attribute information. The pre-processed file is used for printing, if there are no content changes to the second file.

  • Patent number: 7553274
    Abstract: A protective body packages an exterior of a capsule endoscope body of a capsule endoscope such that a field of vision of an objective lens system is not obstructed. As a result, even if the capsule endoscope collides against a wall surface inside an object being examined, a circular cylinder portion of the protective body is elastically deformed so that the protective body itself becomes a shock absorbing portion and protects each portion inside a case as well as actual LED covers and a lens cover. As a result, the capsule endoscope body can be recovered in an undamaged condition, and unnecessary costs can be reduced by reusing the capsule endoscope body.

  • Patent number: 7120669
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for controlling the data size of an electronic mail. A computer program executes the method as follows. A mail controlling section compresses data of an electronic mail so that the data size is not more than an unsendable size recorded in relation to a destination electronic mail address by referring to an address table. A mail sending section sends the compressed electronic mail to a recipient. In the case where an electronic mail that has been received by a mail receiving section has a data size which is larger than a sendable size, an updating section updates the sendable size. Further, in the case where an error mail with regard to an electronic mail which is smaller in data size than the unsendable size is received, the unsendable size is updated.
