  • Publication number: 20240311063
    Abstract: A server device includes: a communication unit configured to be able to communicate with a terminal device via an SNS server device providing a social networking service; and a controller configured to be able to control whether printing is available at a printing device or not. The controller receives a second print instruction at a second time point after receiving a first print instruction at a first time point by the communication unit, and makes printing based on the second print instruction unavailable at the printing device when it is determined that a time period from the first time point to the second time point is shorter than a predetermined time period.

  • Patent number: 12072069
    Abstract: A white light source and method of use thereof, wherein control of daily rhythm and pleasant lighting can be realized. Amounts of stimulation light emitted from a white light source to the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) and visual cells of the L cone and M cone, are defined as a melanopic irradiance, an L-cone opic irradiance, and an M-cone opic irradiance, respectively; a ratio of the amounts of the stimulation light is expressed by formula (1); and A is the ratio corresponding to the emission spectrum of the white light source, and B is the ratio corresponding to the radiation spectrum of a black body having the same color temperature as the white light source, an amount of stimulation light emitted to the ipRGC is quantitatively changed by changing the emission intensity of the white light source satisfying formula (2). Melanopic irradiance/(L-cone opic irradiance+M-cone opic irradiance)??(1) 0.88?A/B?1.11??(2).
