Abstract: An inkjet recording medium obtained by forming a coating layer containing a pigment and a binder on the surface of a base material and coating layer is subsequently pressed onto a heated mirror finished surface to dry to form an ink absorbing layer through a cast coating method, wherein pigment contains a colloidal silica that has a primary particle diameter of from 10 nm to 100 nm while the ratio of the secondary particle diameter to primary particle diameter is from 1.5 to 3.0.

Abstract: A network managing method provides a device list with which device information with regard to a plurality of devices is arranged in order and displayed for every device. A type of at least one device information to be displayed in the device list is designated from among a plurality of types of predetermined device information capable of being displayed in the device list. A type of the device information to be used as display criteria is also designated in the case where a plurality of devices are arranged in order in the device list. The device information of the type designated as the display criteria is controlled to be displayed in the device list even if the designated display criteria is not included in the type of information designated for display in the list.

Abstract: The delay of an ongoing configuration change process, which may result from resource insufficiency, is restrained to avoid a great difference between the actual load condition and the load condition predicted before a configuration change, and provide proper service arrangement. A load distribution control device distributes the requests received from client terminals to a plurality of server nodes in order to distribute the load on the server nodes. A configuration change device calculates necessary resource amounts when a configuration change involving a service-start or service-stop is to be made. The load distribution control device references a load management table and allocates necessary amounts of resources to a server node that requires the calculated resource amounts. Subsequently, the configuration change device effects the configuration change.

Abstract: In a management system for managing network devices connected to a network, it is considered to reduce the load of the network and the devices by preserving device information acquired from each device and not acquiring new information from the device for a predetermined period. However, this approach has a problem in that the user cannot know when the displayed information was acquired. In the present invention, when preserving device information, the time of acquisition of the device information is preserved as acquisition-time data, which is displayed within displayed information together with the device information. The above-described probem is thereby solved, and the user can acquire very reliable information.

Abstract: An inkjet recording medium containing an ink absorbing layer the main component of which are fine inorganic particles having an average particle diameter of from 10 nm to 500 nm on a base material and a glossy layer obtained by coating a polymer dispersion over the ink absorbing layer wherein the polymer dispersion is a dispersion of fine, non cross-linked styrene-acrylic type polymer particles obtained by a copolymerization reaction of monomer components containing at least a cationic monomer, (meth)acrylamide, styrene and methyl methacrylate, said glossy layer is formed by having the fine polymer particles in the polymer dispersion present in the ink absorbing layer maintain their particulate shapes.

Abstract: An image communication system can transmit and receive an image via a communication line. The system supplies a self-portrait image from a self-portrait photographing unit and a partner image from a partner photographing unit and displays the self-portrait image on a self-portrait display window and the partner image on a partner display window on the same screen. The system discriminates whether a designated point exists in the self-portrait display window or the partner display window. If the designated point exists in the self-portrait window, self-portrait photographing unit control information is calculated by a self-portrait calculating method and if the designated point exists in the partner display window, partner photographing unit control information is calculated by a partner calculating method.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to an apparatus which notifies the user of the state of a network device using an e-mail message as needed even when no response is acquired from the network device. A response request command is sent to the network device at a predetermined timing, and the response state of the network device to the response request command is stored. The previous response state is read out from a storage component (S801), and it is checked if a response is received (S802). If a response is received, it is also checked if a response is received in the current process (S803). If no response is received in the current process, an e-mail message indicating that no response is received from the device is generated (S804), and is sent (S807). On the other hand, if a response is returned from the device which returned no response in the previous process (S805), an e-mail message indicating that the device has been recovered is generated (S804), and is sent (S807).
