Abstract: A relay device for relaying transfer data to be transmitted between the devices has a plurality of testers. Each of the testers determines whether received transfer data is normal or not, and discards the transfer data that is determined abnormal. The relay device also has a counter that counts a number of transfer data discarded by each of the testers respectively, and a determiner that determines whether an operation of each tester is normal or not based on the number of discarded transfer data counted by the counter.

Abstract: A transfer path in a router is set in a loop shape by a test processing unit. In a NP chip (network processor), decrement of a TTL value is inhibited by a test processing unit, and a routing table is set such that data are transmitted in order along the transfer path of the loop shape. Consequently, the test processing unit circulates a predetermined number of data on the transfer path of the loop shape, and inspects the data circulated.

Abstract: A pressure cleaning vessel is connected to a vacuum chamber by way of a connecting pipe in the sterilizing and cleaning equipment that utilizes a supercritical fluid. The objects to be treated are impregnated, for a given period, in the supercritical fluid with which the pressure cleaning vessel has been filled. Thereafter, the connection between the pressure vessel and the vacuum chamber is opened so as to generate sudden bubbling within the vessel as a result of a large pressure difference. Thorough sterilization is achieved at the time when the supercritical fluid having penetrated into bacteria and viruses suddenly explodes and destroys these organisms instantly by vaporization and expansion.

Abstract: A pressure cleaning vessel 1 is connected to a vacuum chamber P by way of a connecting pipe in the sterilizing and cleaning equipment which utilizes a supercritical fluid. The objects to be treated is impregnated, for a given period, in the supercritical fluid with which the pressure cleaning vessel 1 has been filled. Thereafter, the connection between the pressure vessel 1 and the vacuum chamber P is opened so as to generate sudden bubbling within the vessel 1 as a result of a large pressure difference. Thorough sterilization is achieved at the time when the supercritical fluid having penetrated into bacteria and viruses suddenly explodes and destroys these organisms instantly by its power of vaporization and expansion.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a scanner for scanning image information on an original and outputting byte-by-byte data with the left end of the original being defined as the most significant bit, MSB, and an optical disk that treats the left end of the original as the least significant bit, LSB. In writing the information scanned by the scanner on the optical disk, this information is supplied to a bit converter which converts a bit alignment of one-byte information from the MSB to the LSB into a bit alignment from the LSB to the MSB. The converted data is supplied to, and stored in, the optical disk.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus is disclosed for electronically filing image data including large drawing data at a high speed. An operator sets up a registration mode in the filing apparatus, and enters a retrieval code for retrieving desired image data. These operations are effected by using related keys on a keyboard. A CPU in the filing apparatus carries out a predetermined check on the entered retrieval code, and stores the checked retrieval code in a main memory. A scanner picks up the image data to be retrieved. The image data is stored in a page memory and a display memory, and displayed by a CRT display device. The operator checks the image data if it has a large size, for example, A1 or A2. If it has a large size, he designates necessity of the size reduction of the image data by a keyboard. In response to this designation, the CPU reads out the image data of one page as stored in the page memory.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus for electronically filing image date including reduced image data is disclosed. An operator sets up a retrieval mode in the filing apparatus, and enters a retrieval code for retrieving desired image data. These operations are made by using related keys on keyboard. A CPU makes a predetermined check, and stores the document number specified by the checked retrieval code into main memory. The CPU reads out a retrieval code table from magnetic disk, and displays it on the display on CRT display device. The operator checks if there is present or absent the abstract image data of A4 resulting from the original large image data of A1 or A2 as the already registered each document number. In a retrieval mode, the abstract image is retrieved, and the intended image data is pointed out by keyboard. In response to this, CPU reads out the corresponding image data from optical disk.

Abstract: Plural items of image information having different pixel densities are stored on an optical disk. The pixel densities for the image information are stored in an image information memory address storage area of a magnetic disk, and conversion factors for converting the different pixel densities into a predetermined pixel density for an output device are stored in a pixel density conversion table storage area of the magnetic disk. When image information read out from the optical disk has a pixel density different from the predetermined pixel density, the pixel density associated with the read-out image information is read out from the image information memory address storage area. Then, the conversion factor associated with the read-out pixel density and the predetermined pixel density is read out from the pixel density conversion table storage area.

Abstract: A document image editing device has a page memory device and a display device. The page memory device stores in different areas thereof document images to be edited, image information (parts) of the cut partial image regions, and a pasteboard image for pasting the cut partial images. The display device displays the document images to be edited and the cut partial images in different display regions. The image editing is performed under the control of a CPU. In the cutting mode, partial images cut from the document images displayed on the display device are stored in memory locations of the corresponding areas of the memory device and are displayed at positions in the corresponding regions of the display device. In the pasting mode, the pasting positions of the cut partial images on the pasteboard are designated.

Abstract: In an image editing apparatus adapted to cut a plurality of regions of any size from a plurality of documents and prepare a new document by sticking the cut regions on a sheet. The cut regions are designated by a light pen of an instruction input section for each document displayed on a CRT display. The coordinate information of the cut regions is stored in a RAM in a sticking region computer and the image information is stored in a first buffer (RAM). A ROM in the sticking region computer stores information relating to a plurality of basic patterns representing the manner of sticking a plurality of cut regions. The coordinates of a plurality of sticking regions are calculated for each basic pattern on the basis of the coordinate data of the cut regions. An image processor causes the image data of the cut regions which are stored in the first buffer to be transferred to memory area of a second buffer (RAM) which is designated by the coordinates of the corresponding sticking regions.
