Abstract: An initiator has logical devices A, B and C. In the directory structure of the config ROM showing the unit structure, instance directories A, B and C are made; initiator unit directories 1, 2, and 3 are made under the respective instance directories A, B and C; and feature directories showing the functions provided by the respective logical devices are made under the initiator unit directories 1, 2, and 3. This structure allows the functions available from the initiator to be shown and allows the available functions to be known to another node such as a target device.

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.

Abstract: An all terrain vehicle is capable of preventing the temperature of air supplied to an engine and the temperature of a battery from being excessively increased and has a large minimum ground clearance. An object-mountable supporting box is bridged between left and right frame members of a body frame. A battery is located above a bottom plate of the supporting box. An air cleaner is located between the left and right frame members and rearward relative to the supporting box. An intake passage is located in an area which is between the left and right frame members, above the bottom plate of the supporting box, and beside the battery. An exhaust passage passes through an area above a bottom of the frame body and below the bottom plate of the supporting box.

Abstract: A printer has a queue for queuing a queued execution command, an immediate execution agent for executing a write command, and a queued execution agent for executing a read command. The immediate execution agent immediately executes the received write command, and writes data in a host. The queued execution agent picks up a read command from the queue, and reads out data from the host. The host appends a data transfer request from the printer to a queue, issues a write command to the printer on the basis of that data transfer request, and issues a read command to the printer on the basis of a print data transmission request or the like from an application. Independent full-duplex channels can be provided in two directions. Also, a write command can be immediately processed.

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.

Abstract: In an access rights managing system, an application that can set access rights is limited, and if an information apparatus that the user uses does not install any specific application, the system cannot set desired access rights in a digital document. To solve this problem, data is received externally, and first identification information associated with access rights control is extracted from a predetermined position of the received data. Second identification information corresponding to the first identification information is obtained, and is appended to the received data. The received data is then stored in a memory.

Abstract: Cancellation of transmission of print data from a host computer to a printer is implemented under a USB Printer Class protocol without increasing the burden upon a printer on the receiving side. Specifically, when the host computer issues a transmit-abort request to the printer during the transmission of print data, the host computer notifies the printer of cancellation of data transmission via a channel different from that used for the data transmission. Upon being so notified, the printer suspends processing and discards the data that has been received. After suspending the processing, discarding the received data completing the preparation of receiving next data stream the printer notifies the host computer of the completion of abort procedure. Host computer will not send next data stream until receiving the completion of abort procedure from printer.

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.

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.

Abstract: A communication control apparatus re-establishes connection of a line when a user disconnects the line by mistake during the transmission of data. When a lower layer is disconnected while data is being transmitted to another apparatus, an upper layer is controlled to maintain a session for a predetermined period of time, and when a line connection is re-established within the predetermined period of time, a connection is established for the transmission of data.

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 (pal) 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.

Abstract: An initiator has logical devices (A, B, C). A target to obtain services from the initiator designates the ID of provided services and the directory ID indicating a directory where the information concerning a logical device is stored, and further the target issues a connection control request to the initiator. The initiator provides the designated logical device and services to the target via the established connection.
