  • Publication number: 20180276187
    Abstract: An operation-screen generation device includes a reading unit that reads operation item information indicating multiple operation items having a hierarchical structure and used to generate an operation screen and a generation unit that generates the operation screen. An operation component for an operation item in a highest layer in the operation item information is allocated to a first hierarchical component predetermined as being in a highest layer in layout information. If the number of subsequent layers for one or more subsequent operation items is equal to or smaller than a predetermined number of layers displayable for a second hierarchical component, one or more operation components for the one or more subsequent operation items are allocated to the second hierarchical component. If the number of subsequent layers is larger than the predetermined number of layers, the operation components are allocated to the second hierarchical component and a third hierarchical component.

  • Patent number: 7808672
    Abstract: An image forming device for printing a page which incorporates content data acquired from a reference destination, capable of starting printing earlier. A display analyzing section (33) analyzes a printing document and lays out a document element for tentative page dividing. In the laying out, for a document element whose content data needs to be acquired from a reference destination, a tentative size is used and, for a document element having content data of a known rendering size, the rendering size is used. A document manager (45) monitors a state of acquisition of the content data and instructs a rendering section (34), upon detection of completion of acquisition of content data to be laid out on a first page, to render the image of the page.

  • Publication number: 20100233125
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel chimeric adenoviruses comprising the type 5-modified chimeric adenoviruses, in which the fiber knob domain in the adenoviruses type 5 is replaced by the adenoviruses type 35 fiber knob domain and any exogenous transcriptional regulatory regions controlling expression of the E1A and E1B genes are introduced into the region from which adenoviruses type 5 E1A transcriptional regulatory region has been removed. The chimeric adenoviruses are cytotoxic or oncolytic chimeric adenoviruses and can be utilized as, for example, pharmaceutical agents having high cytotoxic activity against intractable tumors such as malignant mesothelioma.

  • Patent number: 7366981
    Abstract: An image forming device for dividing a continuous document without the concept of pages, such as an HTML document, into pages, the device being capable of responding to a user's various needs in connection with page dividing. A page dividing processor (304) is provided with a plurality of page dividing algorithms which differ in terms of treatment of a document element placed across a page boundary. When a user inputs a page dividing policy using a user interface (301), a dividing algorithm designating section (305) specifies a page dividing algorithm corresponding to the policy, and notifies the page dividing processor (304) of the algorithm. The page dividing processor (304) divides an HTML document into pages according to the algorithm.

  • Patent number: 7167269
    Abstract: A device for printing a document, such as an HTML document, in which data to be incorporated into an output image can be described in the form of reference to an outside source, the device being capable of smooth printing a large document using a small memory. A document structural information manager creates document structural information which describes a structure of document elements, based on a result of analysis on an HTML document carried out by a document analyzer. During asynchronous downloading of substantial data of each document element, should work memory shortage occur, a memory manager unloads substantial data of a document element with a latter order at which to be incorporated into an output among those in the work memory, and saves the unloaded substantial data in an HDD. Thereafter, when data becomes no longer necessary as a result of being printed, the memory manager deletes the data from the work memory and reloads data saved in the HDD back to the work memory.
