Abstract: An optical testing device for use in testing an optical measuring instrument provides incident light from a light source to an incident object and receives reflected light due to reflection of the incident light at the incident object. The optical testing device includes an incident light receiving section that receives incident light, and a light signal providing section. The light signal providing section provides a light signal to the incident object after a predetermined delay time since the incident light receiving section has received the incident light. A reflected light signal due to reflection of the light signal at the incident object is provided to the optical measuring instrument. The delay time is approximately equal to the time between emission of the incident light from the light source and reception of the reflected light by the optical measuring instrument in the case of actually using the optical measuring instrument.

Abstract: A data transmission/reception system provides the recipient of image data with flexible options for handling the image data. The system transmits notification mail to a cellular phone owned by the recipient when transmitting facsimile data from a transmitting facsimile machine to a receiving facsimile machine. The recipient transmits a command from the cellular phone indicating how the facsimile data received by the receiving facsimile machine should be handled. In response to the command received from the cellular phone, the receiving facsimile machine either forms an image based on the facsimile data on paper or forwards the facsimile data to another facsimile machine near the recipient. Accordingly, the recipient can transmit a forwarding command instructing the receiving facsimile machine to transmit the facsimile data to a facsimile machine nearby when the recipient is in a remote location, thereby enabling the recipient to view an image based on the facsimile data at any time.
