Abstract: A buffer control apparatus includes an input unit, a buffer unit, a same ID determination unit, an overwriting unit, a storage unit, and an output unit. When a same ID as an ID contained in a message accepted at the input unit is present in messages stored in the buffer unit, the overwriting unit overwrites at least data in a message containing the same ID with data contained in the message accepted at the input unit.

Abstract: In a process for manufacturing composite sintered machine components, the composite sintered machine component has an approximately cylindrical inner member and an approximately disk-shaped outer member, the inner member has pillars arranged in a circumferential direction at equal intervals and a center shaft hole surrounded by the pillars, and the outer member has holes corresponding to the pillars of the inner member and a center shaft hole corresponding to the center shaft hole of the inner member. The process comprises compacting the inner member and the outer member individually using an iron-based alloy powder or an iron-based mixed powder so as to obtain compacts of the inner member and the outer member, tightly fitting the pillars of the inner member into the holes of the outer member, and sintering the inner member and the outer member while maintaining the above condition so as to bond them together.

Abstract: A recording apparatus has a recording head, a platen, and a first hole. The recording head includes a dot formation element array, and the platen holds a recording medium opposite the recording head. The first hole is disposed in an area of the platen opposite a downstream portion of the dot formation element array and guides ink discarded outside an end of the recording medium when the end is printed without a margin. Alternatively or additionally, a second hole is formed in an area of the platen opposite an upstream portion of the dot formation element array, and the platen guides ink, which is discarded outside an end of the recording medium when the end is printed without a margin, to the second hole.

Abstract: A recording head has a dot formation element array including a pluarlity of dot formation elements arranged in a first direction. A platen is operable to hold a recording medium in a position opposite to the recording head. The platen has a hole formed in a substantially center area in the first direction of the platen. The hole guides ink that has be discarded outside at least one of a leading end and a trailing end of the recording medium when data are recorded on the recording medium without leaving a margin on at least one of the leading end and the trailing end of the recording medium. The hole has a size in the first direction which is less than an entire portion of the dot formation element array.
