  • Publication number: 20160086061
    Abstract: A method of controlling printing by print control script embedded in a web page acquired by a client terminal from a web application server includes, after the acquired web page is displayed, accepting an input operation on the displayed web page and drawing a result of the input operation in a specific drawing area, the accepting and drawing operations being performed by the client terminal. The method further includes generating print data by converting image data written in the specific drawing area to a form enabling processing by a printer as a result of a print operation performed on the displayed web page, and commanding the printer to print the print data.

  • Publication number: 20140107692
    Abstract: A method of treating a lesion of a tubular organ that communicates with a natural orifice of a subject is provided. In the method, a channel of the tubular organ is closed or substantially closed at a desired first position on a far side of the lesion. Then, the channel is closed or substantially closed at a second position near the orifice, i.e. on a near side of the lesion. Then, the tubular organ is linearized by charging a fluid into a closed space formed between the first and second positions by bringing the tubular organ into a closed or substantially closed state. Treatment tools are inserted into the linearized closed space to treat the lesion.
