Patent number: 8843520Abstract: A document managing system which can detect the presence of inaccessible files and folders. In the document managing system, a file as a research object for which the right of access has been set is acquired, and a file user set for which the right of access to the research object has been set is acquired. A folder to which the research object belongs is acquired, and a folder user set for which the right of access to the folder has been set is acquired. If the intersection of the file user set and the folder user set is an empty set, it is determined that determines that there is no user who can access the research object.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2005Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shigemi Saito

Patent number: 8488151Abstract: An image input-output apparatus capable of recording information enabling events of image data items output by output jobs to be tracked, while suppressing load on a network and a server. If an executed job is an output job, a job event of the output job is recorded in association with a job event of an input job in which image data used in the output job is input. If the job event is of an output job, the job event of the input job associated with the job event of the output job is transmitted to a server together with the job event of the output job, whereas if the job event is of an input job, and image data input by the input job is not used in any other job, the job event of the input job is not transmitted to the server.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2009Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shigemi Saito

Patent number: 8046365Abstract: An apparatus stores one or more document information of which access right is managed by an access right management apparatus, and generates an index of stored document information. The apparatus receives user identification information, and sends the user identification information, and information for identifying document information of which index has not been generated to the access right management apparatus. The apparatus receives access right information associated with the user from the access right management apparatus, and generates index of the identified document information based on the received access right information.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2007Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shigemi Saito

Patent number: 7827220Abstract: An image log recording system which is capable of optimizing image log transfer. A plurality of log recording agents generate image logs. An image processing server performs image processing on the image logs transferred from the log recording agents. The image logs subjected to image processing by the image processing server are cumulatively stored in a database. Each of the image recording agents receives from a management server transfer settings for transferring an image log to the image processing server, and transfers an image log to the image processing server according to the transfer settings. The management server monitors load on the image log recording system and changes the transfer settings based on the monitored system load.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2007Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shigemi Saito

Patent number: 5019850Abstract: A photographic developing apparatus of the type in which development is effected by passing exposed sensitive material (principally one for printing such as photographic paper) successively through a developing vessel, a bleaching/fixing vessel, and a rinsing vessel. The bleaching/fixing vessel is replenished with a mixture of concentrated processing liquid and liquid extracted from the rinsing vessel, so that the amount of processing liquid discharged from the rinsing vessel as overflow is reduced, thereby alleviating the burden of waste liquid disposal.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1989Date of Patent: May 28, 1991Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takatoshi Ishikawa, Shigemi Saito, Kazuaki Yoshida, Yoshihiro Fujita

Patent number: 4937608Abstract: In a photographic processing apparatus for immersing and developing an exposed light sensitive material in a developer contained in a developing tank, the temperature of the developer is detected and an evaporation amount of the developer corresponding to an elapsed time period is estimated on the basis of the temperature detected. Then, a replenishment water is supplied to the developing tank by the amount based on this estimated evaporation amount. Consequently, an optimum concentration of the developer in the developing tank can be maintained, thereby preventing a change in the developing characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 1989Date of Patent: June 26, 1990Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takatoshi Ishikawa, Shigemi Saito, Kazuaki Yoshida, Yoshihiro Fujita

Patent number: 4903064Abstract: A photographic processing apparatus having a plurality of processing tanks and a guide rack structure detachably mounted thereon for guiding a long strip of photographic material passing through the tanks. The guide rack structure has a pair of guide members removably installed into each of the tanks, and each pair is movable to define the width of guide passage therebetween and thus guide lengthwise edges of the long strip passing through the tank. Width adjusting mechanisms are provided, one for each pair of guide members, for adjusting the width of guide passage so that it is equal to the width of the long strip of photographic material. A drive mechanism is coupled to all the pairs of guide members to drive the width adjusting mechanisms and thus effect width adjustment. A power transmission is provided between the drive mechanism and each width adjusting means for connecting and disconnecting the transmission of drive power from the drive mechanism to the width adjusting means.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 1989Date of Patent: February 20, 1990Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mikio Kogane, Shigemi Saito, Tadatosi Koyama
