Abstract: Disclosed is an upper connecting structure of a side rail and a center pillar. The side rail has a closed cross section constituted by a side rail outer member and a side rail inner member disposed inside of the side rail outer member. A ridge line extending in a lengthwise direction of a vehicle is formed by an upper surface and a side surface of the side rail outer member. Further, a plurality of bead sections are formed over the upper and side surfaces of the side rail outer member across the ridge line. More specifically, a pair of bead sections are formed with a connection portion of the side rail outer member and the center pillar between so as to securely prevent the upper connecting structure from being collapsed.

Abstract: In order to effectively use personal boxes provided to a photocopier apparatus, the control unit of the photocopier stores image data output from a host computer in personal boxes, and the image quality of the image data stored in the personal boxes is converted according to attributes information of the image data.

Abstract: A switch includes a repetitive call detection unit which detects a repetitive call which occupies channels in an identical channel group. A release unit releases the channels occupied by the repetitive call when the repetitive call is detected. A restriction unit stores information concerning the repetitive call and imposes a restriction on a connection of a call having information identical to the information concerning the repetitive call. A test unit determines whether a cause of the repetitive call has been removed. A restriction release unit releases the above restriction in accordance with a result of determination by the test unit.

Abstract: Disclosed are an exchange which performs call connection control for subscribers in a plurality of areas having different toll numbers, and a method of controlling connection of calls in this exchange. A telephone number translation table is created in accordance with a telephone number structure comprising an internal toll number and internal local office numbers, wherein the internal toll number is a string of numerals shared by toll numbers in the plurality of areas, and the internal local office numbers are numbers obtained by adding a number, which is not shared by the toll numbers in the plurality of areas, onto the beginning of local office numbers that follow the unshared number. The exchange performs switching service control using the telephone number translation table.

Abstract: A body structure of a motor vehicle includes a roof side rail, a side sill, a center pillar, a floor, a center tunnel and a doubler provided between the side sill and the center tunnel. The doubler has a flat closed cross section formed by the floor and a plurality of U-shaped channels and its lengthwise width is longer than that of the lower end of the center pillar. At the outer end of the doubler there are provided a pillar mating section and a side sill mating section. The doubler is connected by welds at the pillar mating section with the center pillar and at the side sill mating section with the side sill. The center pillar has a yieldable portion thereon and it can absorb an impact energy by bending itself. The center tunnel has a reinforcement panel reinforced from underneath.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus has a reversing unit for reversing a sheet with an image formed and discharging the reversed sheet, a determining unit for determining whether the sheet with an image formed is reversed or not reversed with the reversing unit before the sheet is discharged and a page order control unit including a first mode of forming images of a plurality of pages in a first page mode and a second page mode of forming images of a plurality of pages in a second page mode different from the first page mode, wherein in accordance with whether the apparatus operates in the first mode or in the second mode, the determining unit determines whether the sheet with an image formed is reversed or not reversed with the reversing unit before the sheet is discharged.

Abstract: Image information of a plurality of pages input from a personal computer is stored in a hard disk. In an operation mode which can be executed only after all pages of one group are stored in the hard disk, if the hard disk becomes full before all the pages are stored, reduced images from the start to fourth pages are printed out on a single recording sheet to notify a user of a memory-full state. On this sheet, a message representative of that the hard disk is in a memory-full state is also printed out.

Abstract: An administrating apparatus for administrating an image forming apparatus comprises a first receiving unit for receiving the status information of the image forming apparatus in the serial communication, a second receiving unit for receiving a pulse signal in accordance with the operation of the image forming apparatus, and a count unit for counting for each status indicated by the status information received in accordance with the pulse signal received. The administrating apparatus for administrating the image forming apparatus for each status can be provided with a simple construction.

Abstract: An apparatus for verifying service user's information consists of a switch system for setting a call between one terminal and the other terminal and a data memory connected to this switch system. This data memory stores information indicating the number of a service user on which a charge previously applied by a subscriber is imposed and information on a validity of this service user's information. The switch system includes a checking section. The checking section checks at first effects, when the subscriber requests setting of a call to be charged for a talk on the basis of the above-mentioned information from one terminal, a formal check of the service user's information sent with the request by the subscriber. If this formal check is passed, the checking section requests the data memory for a collation as to whether or not the service user's information is valid.

Abstract: An intake system for a V-type multi-cylinder internal combustion engine includes an elongated collector housing disposed between two rows of cylinders in such a way as to longitudinally extend across the rows of cylinders at substantially the center thereof and at right angles.
