  • Patent number: 8264703
    Abstract: An access rights control system can set permission/inhibition of print processing for respective users and files, but it cannot set permission/inhibition of print processing for respective printer devices. Hence, a first identifier required to identify a printer device is obtained from data, a second identifier required to identify an available printer device is obtained from a memory, and a printer device which is permitted to print the data is determined based on the relationship between the first identifier and the second identifier.

  • Patent number: 8248653
    Abstract: From contents of each record of variable data, a post-printing process to the record is predetermined. A time to start the post-printing process is read out of a distribution route running information table. Based on the time, a post-printing process start time (departure time of a truck) is decided every record. A print start time is decided every record in consideration of the decided post-printing process start time (departure time of the truck) and the printing of the record is started at this time.

  • Patent number: 7921127
    Abstract: This invention allows a user to play back desired information even in the form of an icon indicating a file, check the contents of the file, and open the file. The invention stores, in a search attribute file written in a structured format, location information indicating the location of a management target file, search item information used for searching, icon image for brief display created from the target file, and brief playback information for brief playback of a desired portion in the target file. When search key is input, a search attribute file matching the key is searched so that the attribute file is displayed as an icon based on icon image in the file. When right-clicking a desired icon, brief playback information in the attribute file is played back. When left-clicking the icon, the target file is opened according to location information in the attribute file.

  • Patent number: 7911172
    Abstract: An accurate load position control is made possible even when rigidity of a load drive system using a motor is relatively low. Load position signal xl is a present-position measurement value of a load, and after compensation in response to a phase delay thereof has been performed by a stability compensation circuit, the high-frequency portion thereof is taken as a control-target position signal xfb by replacing, in a position-signal combination circuit, a motor position signal xm as a present-position measurement value of a motor, and then the control-target position signal xfb is fed back to a position control circuit. Thereby, a torque command signal indicating a torque target value for driving the load is outputted.

  • Patent number: 7715048
    Abstract: A print-data generating apparatus utilizes advantages of both a printed matter and electronic data. Information to be contained on a sheet of paper is separated into secret information and public information. The public information is presented such that the content thereof can be made public on a sheet. The secret information is embedded in the sheet as watermark image data, which is reversibly convertible electronic data. Print data based on a portion including the public information and a portion including the secret information is generated on the same sheet and a printed matter is printed. Accordingly, information contained on paper is prevented from leaking, and the convenience of paper is ensured.

  • Patent number: 7690461
    Abstract: An all terrain vehicle is constructed to prevent rainwater or the like from entering an inner portion of an air cleaner without complicating the structure of the vehicle or making the assembly work difficult, while improving the external appearance of the vehicle. An air cleaner is provided below a seat, and the air cleaner is positioned between left and right rail main bodies when viewed from above. Left, right, bottom and rear surfaces of the air cleaner are covered with an undercover, which is separate from the air cleaner.

  • Patent number: 7671553
    Abstract: In a servo controller according to the invention, a position feedback correction unit (3) calculates a first-axis position feedback signal (pmfb1) based on a first-axis position (pm1) as a self-axis position, and a second-axis position (pm2) as an other-axis position; and a deviation between a model position (pa1) and the first-axis position feedback signal (pmfb1) is inputted from a subtracter (5) to a position control unit (4), which performs positional control to output a velocity command. A velocity feedback correction unit (6) calculates a first-axis velocity feedback signal (wmfb1) from a first-axis velocity (wm1) as the self-axis velocity, and a second-axis velocity (wm2) as the other-axis velocity; and the velocity control unit (8) adds a model velocity (wa1) and the velocity command outputted from the position control unit (5), and subtracts the first-axis velocity feedback signal (wmfb1) therefrom, and outputs a feedback torque command (Tfb1) based on the corrected velocity command.

  • Publication number: 20100011286
    Abstract: Upon adding a visible electronic signature to an electronic file, deterioration in visibility of characters is prevented by arranging a character image data of a portion overlapping with a region of the visible electronic signature in an upper position layer above the visible electronic signature. There are included a step for extracting a character image data from an image data, a step for generating a character image layer data in which only the character image data is described on a transparent background if a region where the visible electronic signature is arranged and the region of the character image data overlap with each other, and a step for generating an electronic file with a layered structure having the character image layer data, the visible electronic signature and the image data in that order from an upper position of the layered structure.

  • Publication number: 20090284208
    Abstract: Even when rigidity of a load drive system using a motor is relatively low, by performing a load position control in which a load position signal is fed back as stable as a semi-closed control system in which only a motor position signal is fed back, an accurate load position control can be made possible. Therefore, regarding a load position signal xl as a present-position measurement value of a load 20, after compensation in response to a phase delay thereof has been performed by a stability compensation circuit 80, the high-frequency portion thereof is taken as a control-target position signal xfb by replacing, in a position-signal combination circuit 90, by a motor position signal xm as a present-position measurement value of a motor 30, and then the control-target position signal xfb is fed back to a position control circuit 110; thereby, a torque command signal indicating a torque target value that the motor 30 drives the load 20 is configured to be outputted.
