Abstract: With a mounting operation of a supply container, a supported portion 11b of a developer receiving portion 11 is supported by a receipt supporting portion 30c of a lifting portion 30. With further mounting operation, a shutter sliding portion 30b of the lifting portion 30 slides on a shutter inclined portion 4f of a shutter 4. The developer receiving portion 11 is displaced so as to bring a receiving opening into communication with a discharge opening by operating, using the shutter 4, the lifting portion 30 supporting the supported portion 11b of the developer receiving portion 11. By this, a load required for movement of the developer receiving portion 11 is reduced to achieve smooth mounting of the supply container.

Abstract: Method and Apparatuses for of decoding commands for a semiconductor device are described. An example method includes receiving a portion of a command at first and second clock cycles; validating the portion of the command received at the first and second clock cycles at a third clock cycle when a chip select signal indicates a first state and continuing to receive the remaining portion of the command at the third clock cycle and a fourth clock cycle so that the command can be completely received by the semiconductor device by the fourth clock cycle; and invalidating the portion of the command received at the first and second clock cycles at the third clock cycle when the chip select signal indicates a second state different from the first state, so that a new command can be input to the semiconductor device at the third clock cycle.
