Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and method for data processing for IC tags and an image forming device capable of recording an image onto a conveying medium on which IC tags are mounted. The apparatus and method set up a state that enables reliable radio communication between a reader/writer and an IC tag and read and/or write electronic information from/to IC tags. The reader/writer's antenna to face IC tags mounted on the conveying medium, arranged in multiple rows and columns in the conveyance direction, is skewed so that the IC tags pass sequentially under the antenna and each IC tag can be identified. The reader/writer reads and/or writes electronic information associated with the thus identified IC tag.

Abstract: When a printing instruction is provided, a CPU causes a stepping motor M to drive a developer and calculates the value of a load of the stepping motor M before printing operations are performed. Then, CPU determines whether the value of the load is within a predetermined range stored in advance. If the value is not within the predetermined range, CPU causes a display to display an error message.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are provided that can easily distribute material suitable for each person or each place to which the material is distributed compared to conventional apparatuses and methods. A material delivery server is provided with a box for each user, a print data sorting portion for making the box for a user to whom material is delivered memorize print data of the material to be delivered, a print conditions memorizing portion for memorizing print conditions information for each user, a transmission data generation portion for generating print data for transmission by setting the print conditions information of a user relating to the box for the print data memorized in the box, and a print data transmission portion for transmitting the print data generated from the print data memorized in the box to a material reception terminal of the user relating to the box.

Abstract: An engine ECU executes a program including the steps of: setting a knock waveform model corresponding to engine speed sensed by a crank position sensor; calculating knock intensity N based on the result of comparison between a detected waveform and the set knock waveform model; when the knock intensity N is larger than a predetermined reference value, determining that knocking has occurred; and when the knock intensity N is not larger than the predetermined reference value, determining that knocking has not occurred.
