  • Patent number: 7409467
    Abstract: The system stores a storage address ADK1 of a page table element PEK1 that was being processed when a bus reset occurred, of page table elements of a page table specified by an ORB1. The system then reads out a storage address ADK2 of a page table element PEK2 having the same element number as PEK1, of page table elements of an ORB2 after the bus reset occurs, and restarts data transfer when ADK1 and ADK2 are the same. When the page table is absent, addresses DAD1 and DAD2 that are specified directly by the ORB1 and the ORB2 are compared. When data transfer is not be restarted but a command CMD1 of the ORB1 has already been issued to a device, the CMD1 is aborted.

  • Publication number: 20080100867
    Abstract: A technique of printing content transmitted when a printing apparatus is in a failure state via data broadcasting is printed after the printing apparatus is recovered from the failure state is provided. The printing apparatus includes an obtaining unit for obtaining script which describes about the content in accordance with the XML standard and reference image data which is referred by the script, a script interpreter for interpreting the script, and a content storing unit. The obtaining unit obtains the reference image data from a reference destination in accordance with a result of interpreting of the script obtained using the script interpreter when receiving a request for printing with the script. The script interpreter corrects the script so that the reference destination of the reference image data is changed to the content storing unit, and the corrected script and the reference image data are stored in the content storing unit.

  • Patent number: 7165124
    Abstract: A data transfer control system receives a command packet ORB transferred through a bus BUS1 (IEEE 1394), issues a command indicated by ORB to a device connected to a bus BUS2 (ATA (IDE)/ATAPI), and orders start of a DMA transfer. The command issued based on ORB is aborted after the completion of the DMA transfer. The data transfer control system compares contents of a command packet ORB1 transferred before a bus reset with contents of a command packet ORB2 transferred after the bus reset. If the contents are different, a command issued based on ORB1 is aborted after completion of a DMA transfer. Dummy data is transferred between the data transfer control system and the device connected to the bus BUS2 until a DMA transfer is completed. Dummy data transfer is controlled by performing a dummy update on a pointer.

  • Patent number: 6416316
    Abstract: An apparatus for molding a resin product having a bottom plate, a pair of side plates, and a pair of flanges. The side plates are formed integrally with the bottom plate to extend from opposite sides of the bottom plate. Each flange is formed integrally with the associated side plate to extend inward from an upper end of the side plate. The apparatus has a pair of inner slidable cores that shape an upper side of the bottom plate, an inner side of the side plate, and a lower side of the flange. The apparatus also includes an intermediate core located between the inner slidable cores for determining the position of each inner slidable core. The apparatus further includes a sliding mechanism that slides each inner slidable core to a position spaced from the resin product while moving the inner slidable core and the intermediate relative to each other.
