Abstract: An image forming apparatus, which is also referred to as a first image forming apparatus and is configured to perform a printing process by acquiring print information retained by a second image forming apparatus, includes a processor configured to: perform the printing process in a situation where the print information is unavailable from the second image forming apparatus and where the print information is retained by a second virtual image forming apparatus that is a virtual apparatus corresponding to the second image forming apparatus, by acquiring the print information retained by the second virtual image forming apparatus.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor configured to allow software to be installed onto the information processing apparatus even if a requirement is determined to be unsatisfied and to provide presentation so as to indicate that the software that has been installed is unavailable. The requirement is defined to run after installation the software to be installed.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor configured to cause one or more settings to be unchangeable, the one or more settings being required for running software to be installed onto the information processing apparatus, the software having been determined to be operable after installed.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a specifying unit that specifies an apparatus suitable for displaying a screen related to a function used by a user to one of the information processing apparatus and an external apparatus, an acquisition unit that acquires information indicating the screen from the external apparatus, in a case where the apparatus specified by the specifying unit is the information processing apparatus, a display unit that displays a screen indicated by the information acquired by the acquisition unit, and an instruction unit that instructs the external apparatus to display the screen, in a case where the apparatus specified by the specifying unit is the external apparatus.

Abstract: A suction cleaner that sucks in dust, from a suction mouth of a suction mouth body, with airflow generated through operation of an electric air blower and introduces the sucked airflow into a dust collection device to collect the dust. The suction mouth body is provided with a first suction mouth and a second suction mouth. An agitator is arranged at the first suction mouth. The first suction mouth is selected by a suction mouth-switching device, and the agitator is driven when the suction is carried out from the first suction mouth. A mechanism for transmitting power to the agitator includes a driving pulley that co-rotates with the agitator, an idler that can be rotated independently of the agitator, and a belt that is shifted between the driving pulley and the idler by a belt-switching device.

Abstract: A separation wall (212) with a larger thickness than a separation wall (209) is provided at the central part in a left/right direction of a suction inlet main body (201). This is made so that the central part of a separate suction inlet passage (211) has a smaller height in a thickness direction than both sides in the left/right direction of the separate suction inlet passage. As a result, a separate suction inlet passage (211b), connected to a concentration opening (210) from the left and right sides at the front of the separate suction inlet passage (211), has a larger height than a separate suction inlet passage (211a) at the central part of the separate suction inlet passage (211). This way, plural suction inlets are provided in the suction inlet main body, and each of the suction inlets can be selectively used depending on each cleaning on floor surfaces.

Abstract: An electric appliance has a timer for calculating the remaining time, an operation member operated by being rotated, an adjuster for adjusting the remaining time, and a display for displaying the remaining time. When the operation member is operated while the timer is counting time, the adjuster adjusts the remaining time, and the display displays the adjusted remaining time.

Abstract: A circuit pattern comparison apparatus of the present invention comprises a search pattern editing unit for extracting portions matched to the designated search patterns from a target object represented as a circuit network including a set of nodes and node-to-node arcs or links and for schematically describing the search pattern and a search code synthesizing unit for synthesizing a search code by a code-converting the search pattern schematically described by the search pattern editing unit. The apparatus further comprises a comparing unit for receiving the search code synthesized by the search code synthesizing unit and for comparing the search patterns with the target object and extracting portions matched to the search patterns represented as the search code.
