  • Patent number: 10498921
    Abstract: An electronic imprinting device includes a display, an operation unit, a recognition processing unit, a storage unit, and an imprint processing unit. The display performs a display. The operation unit accepts an operation of a user. The recognition processing unit recognizes a character included in first document data and detects a guide character that indicates an imprinting position. The storage unit stores imprint data representing an imprint. The imprint processing unit, when the recognition processing unit recognizes that the first document data includes the guide character, generates second document data as data to which an imprint image represented by the imprint data is affixed at a position of the guide character, the second document data including a content of the first document data.

  • Patent number: 8339636
    Abstract: The respective jobs of copying, printing, scanning, and faxing processed by an integrated application are unitarily divided into four job steps. A package of function modules selectively used in the respective jobs is classified into four groups of input, create, edit, and output function modules according to the division. A data format is unified into bitmap by a create function module, and the bitmap data is processed by an edit function module for pagination or aggregation, etc. In response to receiving setting information and a job code, a job controlling module creates job step control blocks and writes the information therein to create a job. Each of job step controlling (JSC) modules to starts a function module for each page, and after the completion thereof, creates a thread control block for the next downstream side JSC module.

  • Patent number: 8302719
    Abstract: A vehicle including an energy stocking mechanism having an elastic member connected to the driving wheel of the vehicle so that power of the driving wheel is stocked as elastic force in the elastic member and the stocked elastic force is output as power to the driving wheel, and an output limiter that holds the energy stocking mechanism when the elastic force is stocked in the elastic member and releases the holding of the energy stocking mechanism to output the elastic force when the vehicle starts running. A power stocking source for stocking elastic force into the energy stocking mechanism is installed in the vehicle or a station at which the vehicle stops, and connected to the energy stocking mechanism so that power from the power stocking source is applied to the energy stocking mechanism and stocked as the elastic force in the energy stocking mechanism.
