Abstract: Input/output cells are formed so as to be peripherally arranged adjacent to a corner cell on a surface of a semiconductor chip, and electrode pads are formed on the respective input/output cells. The electrode pads are configured in a zigzag pad arrangement so as to form inner and outer pad arrays. However, of the electrode pads forming the inner pad array, those electrode pads in predetermined areas adjacent to the two sides of the corner cell are not disposed, such that an interconnect pattern of a carrier which is bump-bonded to the semiconductor chip and vias are prevented from becoming complex.

Abstract: In a printing system in which a plurality of terminal devices are connected to a printer, conflicts among multiple setting instructions directed to the printing device are avoided. A terminal device 200[1] sends a print job and setting instructions indicating print density, printing paper, and so on to a printer 100. During access to printer 100, terminal device 200[1] issues “setting disabled notification” to other terminal devices 200[2], 200[3]. When printing with printer 100 is finished, terminal device 200[1] issues “use enabled notification” to other terminal devices 200[2], 200[3]. Terminal devices 200[2], 200[3], after receiving setting disabled notification, refrain from accessing printer 100 until use enabled notification is received. By so doing, printing can be executed while avoiding conflicts among setting instructions among a plurality of terminal devices.

Abstract: Each instruction module such as a terminal device 300 causes a printer 100 connected with them via a network to perform printing. Each instruction module uses its reservation unit 313 to send setting data representing the content of setting for printing conditions, and its address, which are then stored in a queue 212 of the printer 100. The printer 100 sets each setting data according to the order in which the setting data are stored in the queue 212, and then informs the instruction module about the completion of setting. In response to the setting completion notification, each instruction mean causes the printer 100 to perform the printing. This ensures equitable chance of printing among the users of the respective instruction module, and avoids conflict among the setting operations.

Abstract: According to the invention, in input/output circuit portions positioned around a semiconductor chip, electrode pads are arranged above each of a plurality of input/output cells arranged in a line. The width of the electrode pads is greater than the width of the input/output cells, and thus the electrode pads cannot be arranged in a single line and are instead arranged staggered in two lines. The electrode pads of one row are arranged shifted so that they do not overlap with the internal terminals of the input/output cells, but are disposed near these internal terminals. The spacing between the electrode pads is set to a distance that is at least a set distance determined by the isolation rules of the design.

Abstract: The technique of the present invention facilitates execution of proof printing, prior to main printing. In a printing system constructed via a network LAN, a printer PRT includes a job management apparatus that manages statuses of print jobs in conformity with International Standard ISO/IEC10175-1. The job management apparatus has a proofComplete control module 6 in addition to diverse functional blocks for processing the print jobs based on the International Standard. The proofComplete control module 6 functions to hold a print job with attribute information representing proof printing after conclusion of proof printing. Separate management of the print job with the proof printing attribute enables a single print job to be utilized for both proof printing and main printing. This arrangement effectively enhances the utility.

Abstract: The technique of the present invention increases a variation in status used for management of print jobs, thereby enhancing utility of a printer. In a printing system constructed via a network LAN, a printer PRT includes a job management apparatus that manages statuses of print jobs in conformity with International Standard ISO/IEC10175-1. The job management apparatus has a create control module 6 in addition to diverse functional blocks for processing the print jobs based on the International Standard. When the user gives an instruction ‘create’ to a print job in a ‘held’ status, the create control module 6 creates a new daughter job from the print job in the ‘held’ status as a mother job and executes printing of either the mother job or the daughter job, while keeping at least one print job in the ‘held’ status. This arrangement enables a registered document to be reprinted iteratively at any arbitrary time.

Abstract: An ocular refracting power measuring system includes a projector system for projecting the image of a light source on the eyeground of an eye to be tested and a light receiving system for condensing the light beam from the eyeground onto a light receiving element disposed at a position substantially conjugate with the pupil of the eye to be tested, whereby the ocular refracting power of the eye to be tested can be measured based on the distribution of light amount on the light receiving element and variations of the distribution of light amount due to the changed amount of light in the light source.

Abstract: A screw element is brought in thread engagement with a blade-shaped piece having a first threaded hole and open at sides, and the piece and the screw element are implanted together in a jawbone. A newly grown jawbone goes into osteobond with the implanted piece and screw element, the jawbone thus defining a second threaded hole. Subsequently the screw element is removed, and a pin neck portion is threadedly fitted into position in place of the screw element. The piece is small in size and open at sides. Therefore, it has no unfavorable effect on adjacent teeth and can be steadily implanted in a narrow jawbone structure. The pin neck portion is securely fixed by both the first threaded hole of the piece and the bone-defined second threaded hole, being thus steadily implanted in position.
