  • Patent number: 11792339
    Abstract: A display system includes a step-image display unit, a delivery-date-image display unit, and a resource-information display unit. The step-image display unit displays, for each print order, a step image in which multiple steps that each execute a process using a resource assigned in advance are arranged on a time axis, the step image illustrating a printed material generating step. The delivery-date-image display unit displays an image illustrating a delivery date of each print order at a corresponding position on the time axis. The resource-information display unit displays information on another resource that is different from the resource assigned in advance to each of the steps and that is usable in each of the steps.

  • Patent number: 10488173
    Abstract: The magnetic resistance of a magnetic path that passes through a coil (6) is increased by magnetically dividing a stator core into a plurality of divided cores (4, 5) in such a manner that the magnetic flux of a permanent magnet (7) flows through the magnetic path when a projection (82) of a plunger (8) magnetically connects the divided cores (4, 5), hence the magnetic resistance of the magnetic path that passes through the coil (6) rapidly changes due to a positional relationship between a gap between the divided cores (4, 5) and the plunger (8), and the magnetic flux that flows through the magnetic path rapidly changes, and moreover a large back electromotive force is produced.

  • Patent number: 8792124
    Abstract: A print control apparatus includes the following components. Drawing processing units each perform a drawing process. A sending unit sends the entire print instruction including multiple pages and written in a page description language, to the drawing processing units. The delivering unit delivers each processing request which specifies one of the multiple pages, to a corresponding one of the drawing processing units. When performing, to perform a drawing process in which a print instruction for a page specified by a processing request is converted into print data, an analysis process on the print instruction from the first page to the specified page, each drawing processing unit refers to an identifier in the page description language of the print instruction for pages other than the specified page, and does not perform the analysis process for a range not containing a command that influences a drawing process of other pages.
