Abstract: An image processing apparatus for processing image data comprises a printer for printing processed image data on recording paper; an image data receiver for receiving image data transmitted thereto via a network; storage unit for storing the image data received by the image receiver; a print controller for controlling printing of the image data stored in the storage unit on the recording paper; and one or more feed trays that load recording paper loaded therein and feed the loaded recording paper to the printer, wherein, if recording paper of the image data is larger in size than any recording paper loaded in the feed trays, the print controller reduces in size image data to fit with largest-size recording paper of the recording paper loaded in the feed trays, and prints the size-reduced image data on the largest-size paper.

Abstract: In an electronic money storing apparatus in an electronic money transaction system for transmitting and receiving electronic money between electronic money cards holding electronic money, IC cards are loaded to each of a plurality of IC card read/write unit connected to a controller. Each of the IC cards holds electronic money and transmits and receives electronic money with another IC card in the electronic money transaction system. The controller reads and writes the electronic money of the IC cards loaded to a selected IC card read/write unit and transmits and receives the electronic money between that IC card and an electronic money storing media external of the electronic money storing apparatus.

Abstract: A semiconductor device manufacturing method where the first insulating film, the first semiconductor film, and the second insulating film are formed in sequence on or above a semiconductor substrate. A resist mask having a window therein is formed on the second insulating film. A first hole is formed in the second insulating film via the window or the first hole is formed in the second insulating film and the first semiconductor film. An overetching using a halogen compound gas forms a sidewall on an inner peripheral surface of the first hole. A second hole having a small diameter than the first hole is formed by etching through the first hole surrounded by the sidewall and the resist.

Abstract: An electronic money coffer with an improved safety relative to an abnormal state such as fire. The electronic money coffer is provided with a depository unit having a structure resistant to an abnormal state. The depository unit accommodates the optional number of electronic money storing media such as IC cards excepting those electronic money storing media used in ordinary electronic money dealing. When a sensor detects an abnormal state such as abnormal temperature and smoke caused by a fire or the like, the values of electronic money in the electronic money storing media used in ordinary electronic money dealing are transferred to the electronic money storing media in the depository unit. The electronic money coffer can maintain by itself the safety of electronic money when a fire or the like occurs. The assets in an electronic money dealing system can be safely and reliably managed by the electronic money coffer which is compact and cost effective.
