  • Publication number: 20080002727
    Abstract: Provided is a packet relay device for efficiently transferring a communication packet transmitted from a plurality of terminals connected with a network. The packet relay device is positioned in the network, in which a plurality of local networks are connected with each other through a global network, and at the boundary between the local network and the global network. The packet relay device comprises an acquisition unit for specifying the terminal of a transmission source from a broadcast packet transmitted by the terminal in the local network thereby to acquire group information on the group, to which the specified terminal belongs, a conversion unit for converting the broadcast packet into a virtual multicast packet corresponding to the group information acquired beforehand, a transfer unit for transferring the virtual multicast packet to another corresponding relay device, and a packet conversion unit for converting the virtual multicast packet into a corresponding real broadcast packet.

  • Publication number: 20070081530
    Abstract: An IP packet relay apparatus provided between networks to relay an IP packet relating to a host belonging to a specific group, comprising: a list in which an IP address possessed by a host is associated with a group identifier for identifying a group to which the host belongs; a judgment unit judging whether an IP packet that has received from one network and is addressed to a host connected to another network is an IP packet relating to the same group or not with reference to the list; and a forwarding unit relaying an IP packet judged to be the IP packet relating to the same group.

  • Patent number: 7123869
    Abstract: Image transfer method and apparatus in which scratches due to entrainment of particles on an image carrier for a toner image having maximum spectroreflectivity at a wavelength of 550 nm do not produce perceptible flaws in resulting images transferred to a recording medium, since images formed with toner of maximum spectroreflectivity at 550 nm on white recording medium are difficult for human eyes to discern. When cleaning residual toner from transfer belts, reverse bias voltage is applied to at least one transfer roller, the peripheral velocity of the photosensitive drum on which a yellow toner image having maximum spectroreflectivity at 550 nm is formed is allowed to differ from the transfer velocity of the transfer belt, and at least the photosensitive drum on which the yellow toner image of maximum spectroreflectivity at 550 nm is formed is detached from the transfer belt.

  • Publication number: 20050144270
    Abstract: An information distributing system comprises a startup condition management device inputting and holding a startup condition per user possessing a user terminal, inputting and holding context per user, and comparing the startup condition with the context for the same user and outputting, when both are coincident with each other, a service startup request including startup condition information and the context, and a service execution device outputting, when receiving the service startup request, a service execution request corresponding to the user terminal or controllable resources associated with the user terminal based on the startup condition information and the context included in the service startup request. The startup condition information can be provided from the user terminal or the service execution device. The service execution device outputs the service execution request through a service execution auxiliary device as required.

  • Publication number: 20050123325
    Abstract: An image transfer method and apparatus are provided, with which, even if scratches are produced due to entrainment of foreign matter on the surface of the image carrying body on which a toner image of which the spectroreflectivity at wavelength of 550 nm is the highest is to be formed, the image transferred to a recording medium is not perceived to have a flaw, for the image formed with the toner of which the spectroreflectivity at wavelength of 550 nm is the highest is difficult for human eyes to discern when it is printed on a white recording medium.

  • Patent number: 5952101
    Abstract: A granular charging agent capable of injecting the electric charge into a material to charge the surface of the material when coming in contact with the material with the application of a voltage to the charging agent, comprising magnetic particles which comprise electroconductive magnetic particles and high-resistivity magnetic particles of which resistivity is higher than that of the electroconductive magnetic particles. A granular charging agent may comprise magnetic particles, each magnetic particle comprising an electroconductive surface portion capable of forming a flow path of electric current and a surface portion with a resistivity higher than that of the electroconductive surface portion. In addition, a method of charging a material such as a photoconductor using the above-mentioned granular charging agent is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5596394
    Abstract: A particle charging apparatus for charging a photo-sensitive drum by magnetically holding magnetic particles in a charging zone and impressing a charging bias on the magnetic particles. Adjacent to an opposed pole which is disposed on the back side of the photo-sensitive drum on the charging zone upstream side for forming a vertical magnetic field, an opposite polarity magnet or magnetic member is disposed such that a mainly horizontal magnetic field is formed on the drum by the opposed and adjacent poles. A vertical magnetic field is formed on the charging zone downstream side by a main pole and the opposed pole. A non-magnetic sleeve with the main pole therein is rotated in the direction opposite that of the drum, thus causing magnetic particles in the vertical magnetic field to be circulated toward the charging zone upstream side.
