  • Patent number: 9134676
    Abstract: An improved image forming apparatus is described in which, even when a conveyance unit is switched from a pressure engaged state to a disengaged state, misalignment of a sheet during conveyance can be inhibited. A control unit conveys a sheet between a transfer unit and paper stop rollers, while forming a loop of the sheet therebetween, by setting the speed of conveying the sheet passing between the paper stop rollers to be higher than the speed of conveying the sheet passing through the transfer unit. In addition to this, when the pair of rollers serving as the paper stop rollers are switched from a pressure engaged state to a disengaged state, the paper stop rollers are controlled to reduce the speed of conveying the sheet therethrough in advance of this switching operation.

  • Patent number: 8964921
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, a method, and a program capable of suppressing deterioration of content quality. An integrated reception buffer time adjustment unit 114 obtains a maximum transmission delay time that is the longest delay time among the transmission delays of data transmission performed by each reception unit 113. The reception buffer time setting unit 208 calculates a reception buffer time using the maximum transmission delay time, a transmission delay time of the data transmission by the reception unit 113, and a prescribed reception buffer time. The reception buffer time setting unit 208 sets various delay times and waiting times such as a variable compression encoding delay time, a redundant encoding block reception waiting time, an ARQ retransmission packet waiting time, and a network jitter handling buffer time from the reception buffer time. The present invention can be applied to an information processing apparatus, for example.
