Abstract: A pharmaceutical formulation for applying as an external application to the surface of the human body, in which decrease of viscosity during long-term storage is suppressed, and which contains sofpironium bromide, a water-soluble polymer, and ethanol, has a pH of 5.2 or lower, and is a uniformly dispersed, and non-aqueous formulation or low water content formulation with a water content of 5% or lower.

Abstract: Buffers of YMCK colors have memory capacities for storing image data corresponding to a difference between timings at which YMCK images formed on YMCK photosensitive drums are transferred onto a transfer member and control is effected such that paper is fed only when all image data sets to be printed are stored in the respective YMCK buffers.

Abstract: After parallel data is converted into serial data by the converter 402, the serial data is converted into an optical signal by the photoelectric converter 404, and this optical signal is incident on the optical fiber 410. When the optical signal passes in the optical fiber 410, it is received by the photoelectric converter 424 on the opposite side and converted into serial data. After this serial data is converted into parallel data by the converter 422, it is inputted onto the video board 427. When the optical transmission technique is adopted, even if a plurality of functional modules are arranged distant from each other, the problems of electromagnetic interference, electro magnetic emission, adaptability to the electromagnetic environment and deformation of a wave-form are not caused.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus is divided into detachable modules such as an IOT module and an EXIT module. A circuit architecture is constructed in which a main module circuit containing a master control part for controlling the whole system and a plurality of sub-module circuits containing slave control parts controlled by the master control part are separately handled according to the respective functional parts in the apparatus. Each module circuit includes a CPU on which a common operating system is installed, and an I/O part which interfaces with functional operation parts which operate corresponding to the dedicated functional parts. The CPU and the I/O part are mounted on daughter boards, which are removably attached to a mother board. A circuit-attribute select controller part 150 selects a main module circuit or sub-module circuits.

Abstract: The present invention related to an automatically operated transmission and a controlling method therefor, and intends to restore the shift-fall shortly and securely by detecting the shift-fall even in the synchronize area, push-apart area and the piece mesh area, in the predetermined condition.

Abstract: An image processing system integral with an image output unit having a power saving mode comprises a temperature detection section for monitoring a fuser temperature in a power saving mode or a rotation detector for a polygonal motor, a control section for outputting a control signal at a predetermined timing, and an energization control section capable of turning on/off output in response to the control signal from the control section. The timing of a power saving mode off signal output by the control section is when the fuser temperature lowers to a temperature or the polygonal motor take longer to ramp up than the time until the image output unit, after the power saving mode is released, is placed in a reprintable state becomes longer than the time required for setting up the data required when image processing is performed. Thus, the transition time to the copyable state as a whole is used efficiently, and power consumption can be reduced.

Abstract: An image forming device, such as a color copying machine or a color printer, which processes an input image signal, thereby obtains an output image signal, and forms an output image on the basis of the output image signal. In the image forming device, an information input unit writes some information identifying the copying machine to an area in an information storing unit at the time when a power source is turned on for the copying machine for the first time after the assembly thereof. When the power source is turned on for a second and any subsequent times for the copying machine, the copying machine copies an original sheet in such a state of the machine that the information stored in the area of the information storing unit is added to the output image in the form of a pursuit image which it is hard or impossible to recognize with the human eyes.
