Publication number: 20060244994Abstract: A shared print server control program and a shared print server control method are disclosed. In addition to a standard spooler included in the operating system mounted on the server for managing the printing jobs based on the shared printer function, an additional spooler for assisting in the management of printing jobs is arranged on the server. The additional spooler, without waiting for the end of the processing operation of the previously received printing jobs, sequentially receives all the printing jobs transmitted from the client, after which the communication with the client is cut off without delay or immediately, thereby realizing the operation of a shared printer system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2006Publication date: November 2, 2006Inventor: Makoto Konnai

The additional spooler, after sequentially receiving all the printing jobs transmitted from the client, cuts off the communicative connection with the client immediately without waiting for the end of the processing operation of the previously receiving printing jobs. The additional spooler in operation transmits packets indicating that the additional spooler is in operation, to a predetermined communication port at predetermined intervals, and after starting the processing operation of the printing jobs, monitors the printer status.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2006Publication date: November 2, 2006Inventor: Makoto Konnai

Patent number: 5298482Abstract: A method for treating plants with a plant growth promoter comprising 5-aminolevulinic acid or a salt thereof as an active ingredient. This treatment method is effective in enhancing the photosynthetic activity of a plant, enhancing its ability to absorb CO.sub.2, suppressing its respiration, increasing its chlorophyll content and promoting its growth. As a result, the treatment greatly contributes to the promotion of rooting, the reduction of lodging, an increase in yield, an improvement in cold resistance, maintenance of freshness, an improvement and maintenance of green color, the growth of good seedlings, the promotion of organs, an increase in tillers, a shortening of the time required for growth, a relief of chemical damage and an increase in the rooting ratio in, for example, cutting.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1992Date of Patent: March 29, 1994Assignee: Cosmo Research InstituteInventors: Tohru Tanaka, Kiyoshi Takahashi, Yasushi Hotta, Yasutomo Takeuchi, Makoto Konnai
