Abstract: An original copy sheet is pre-scanned to obtain pre-scanned image data of a bit map form with a low resolution. The pre-scanned image data is converted to JPEG thumbnail image data. An EXIF file is formed in an external media to store the JPEG thumbnail image data in the EXIF file. The original copy sheet is mainly scanned to obtain main image data of a bit map form with a high resolution. The main image data is converted to JPEG main image data. In the EXIF file in the external media, the JPEG main image data is stored.

Abstract: A data communication apparatus includes a calling section that performs a communication by sequentially transmitting a calling signal to a destination, and transmitting a shift notification signal that indicates a shift to a short previous-procedure. A memory stores destination information and modem control information in association with each other. When the destination to which the communication is performed corresponds to the destination information stored in the memory, the calling section transmits the shift notification signal, and controls a modem based on the stored modem control information so as to shorten a previous-procedure.

Abstract: At the time of rewriting a program provided in a facsimile apparatus using a memory card, a mode is changed by determining the content of the memory card and the presence and absence of a predetermined operation. Then, at the time of rewriting the program, the program is rewritten to a program stored in the memory card regardless of old and new versions, while the content of the memory card is erased as required.

Abstract: A data communication apparatus includes a calling section that performs a communication by sequentially transmitting a calling signal to a destination, and transmitting a shift notification signal that indicates a shift to a short previous-procedure. A memory stores destination information and modem control information in association with each other. When the destination to which the communication is performed corresponds to the destination information stored in the memory, the calling section transmits the shift notification signal, and controls a modem based on the stored modem control information so as to shorten a previous-procedure.

Abstract: Various kinds of modem control information is stored for each destination, the modem is operated based on stored various kinds of control information to shorten a communication pre-protocol and transmit data when execution is carried out. Also, when a short previous-procedure does not normally proceed, communication is shifted to a second communication procedure whose speed is low so as to continue communication after a lapse of a predetermined period of time. When abnormality occurs after executing the short previous-procedure, various kinds of control information stored in memory means are erased and up-dated. Therefore, time for communication preprotocol is shortened, and a mounted short previous-procedure function appropriately operates even when a communication error rate is high or a line characteristic is changed.

Abstract: A method of gene diagnosis of diseases wherein TNF-&agr; promoters participate, such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, chronic rheumatism or diabetes, by determining in the nucleotides at the −857, −863 and/or −1031 positions in the 5′-flanking region of a TNF-&agr; gene.

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus comprises a receiving buffer for receiving video data, a scanner for reading an image, a VRAM for storing a coded data, a single coding/decoding (C/D) IC for MR-coding, MR-to-MMR coding, decoding, and error-checking, and a page printer, and a control circuit, when an event requiring more than two operations of the C/D IC at the same time, the control circuit permits only one operation and force the other operations to wait in some condition. In another condition, the control circuit permits one of the other operation and force the other operations to wait. For example, when the scanner reads an image to produce read data and the C/D IC codes the read data to store the read data in the VRAM and there is a call, the control means connects the line but keeps the coding if the receiving buffer has a space. In the presence of the space the control circuit interrupt the coding and starts the decoding.
