The combining unit combines data from a first path and data from a second path. The image forming unit forms a combined image based on combined image data which is obtained by combining, by the combining unit, original image data from the first path and additional image data from the second path and which is transmitted through a third path. The verification unit verifies combined data which is obtained by combining, by the combining unit, verification data from the first path and verification data from the second path and which is transmitted through the third path. The controller detects, based on a verification result by the verification unit, falsification of data in the first path, the second path and the third path.

Abstract: The printer includes a CPU, a bridge image processing unit, a RAM, a ROM, a supply power control unit, a printing unit, a communication I/F, and physical layer I/Fs. When the Ethernet is connected to the communication I/F, if the DMA transfer request signal is not outputted from the DMAC for more than a specific time, the supply power control unit shifts into the sleep mode that halts the supplies of clock to the CPU, etc.; and if data is received from the host computer group, the supply power control unit releases the sleep mode. Further, in case that equipment conforming to the USB standard or the IEEE 1284 is connected to the communication I/F, if the DMA transfer request signal is not outputted from the DMAC for more than the specific time, the supply power control unit shifts into the power halt mode that halts the supply of power to the CPU, etc. Thus, the invention provides a printer capable of effectively reducing the power consumption.

Abstract: A range selector issues a range selection command signal representative of an operation range of a shift-by-wire type automatic transmission meeting with a driver's intention. The operating range is at least one of P(parking)-range, R(reverse)-range, N(neutral)-range and D(drive)-range. An actuator causes the transmission to assume a certain operation range when receiving an instruction signal. A control unit issues the instruction signal by processing the range selection command signal, so that the transmission is able to assume an operation range that meets with the driver's intention. The control unit is configured to carry out, when the range selector fails to issue the range selection command signal, presuming a range selection intended by the driver based on a previous operation of the range selector; and based on the presumption, causing through the actuator the transmission to actually carry out at least one of first and second range selection operations.

Abstract: A die for injection molding in which a molded product is supported by a core for a certain time in a cavity block even after an opening operation of the die is started, and the molded product is taken out of the die after the molded product is solidified so that the molded product is not deformed at a mold-releasing time and a stable molded product can be obtained with high productivity. A projecting mechanism has a separating delay device for pressing the molded product by the core and supporting the molded product in the cavity block until a movable side die is separated by a predetermined distance from a fixed side die. The separating delay device releases the supporting of the molded product after the movable side die is separated by the predetermined distance from the fixed side die.
