Abstract: In a communication system, an information processing apparatus including a first controller and a memory and a mediation apparatus including a second controller can communicate with each other via a firewall. The mediation apparatus can communicate with a device via a local network. Based on an acquired plurality of instruction information, the first controller generates first commands. When a setup is performed by the mediation apparatus, the first controller transmits the generated first commands to the mediation apparatus, and receives a response thereto. Upon receiving the first commands, the second controller generates second commands based on the first commands, and transmits the generated second commands to the device. One of the first controller and the second controller sets a transmission order for the second commands by setting a priority for each second command A second command having higher priority is transmitted prior to another second command having lower priority.

Abstract: In a maintenance system, a controller of an information processing device is configured to perform receiving; storing; determining; and transmitting. The receiving receives a set of input information including device information, time information, and setting information via an input interface. The device information specifies a target image forming device. The time information specifies access time to access the target image forming device. The setting information relates to control data to be set in the target image forming device. The storing stores correlation information correlating the device information with the time information and setting information in a memory. The determining determines whether the access time has come. The transmitting transmits, in response to determining that the access time has come, the control data to the target image forming device via a network interface. The target image forming device is specified by the device information correlated by the correlation information.

Abstract: A communication system includes a mediation apparatus communicating with a device via a local network and an information processing apparatus communicating with the mediation apparatus through firewall. The information processing apparatus including a first control device. The mediation apparatus includes a second control device transmitting to the information processing apparatus through the firewall a first request for requesting transmission of a first command for the device, and a second request for requesting transmission of a second command for the mediation apparatus. In response to receiving the first command, the second controller transmits to the device via the local network a device command. In response to receiving the second command, the second controller performs a second-command dependent instruction. In response to receiving the first request and the second request, the first control device transmits respectively the first command and the second command to the mediation apparatus.

Abstract: A management system includes: a first information-processing apparatus connected with the Internet; and a second information-processing apparatus connected with a local network connected to the Internet via a firewall. The first information-processing apparatus transmits communication information and an installer to a request source that has transmitted an installer request. After the mediation program is installed on the second information-processing apparatus, a specific communication mode in which the firewall allows transmission of a specific command from the first information-processing apparatus to the second information-processing apparatus is started using the communication information. The specific command includes a specific instruction for a device connected with the second information-processing apparatus via the local network. The specific command is generated independently of requests that the second information-processing apparatus transmits.

Abstract: In a communication system, a first mediation apparatus includes a first control device. The first control device stores in a memory a correlation database correlating a mediation apparatus ID of the second mediation apparatus with a first device ID of a device. The first controller requests a management server to register the first device ID, and receives a first command from the management server. The first controller transmits a second command to the second mediation apparatus through the firewall by using a series of procedures. The second command includes second instruction information based on the second command. The first controller transmits a first response to the management server. The second mediation apparatus includes a second control device to initiate the series of procedures and transmits a third command based on the second command to the device, and transmits a second response as to the first mediation apparatus through the firewall.

Abstract: In an apparatus which applies periodic pulsation to a solution flowing through a conduit while undergoing perfusion by a pump, a first valve is disposed in the conduit downstream of the pump, a bypass line is provided to the conduit downstream of the first valve, and a second valve is disposed in the bypass line for withdrawing some of a first pulsed flow formed in the conduit by opening and closing the first valve, through the bypass line as a second pulsed flow. A valve driving circuit periodically opens and closes the first valve and second valve at predetermined time schedules so that the second pulsed flow is superimposed upon the first pulsed flow to form a waveform in the conduit. Any desired pulsatile waveform can be obtained by adjusting the pulse width, the crest values, the delay time, etc., of the two pulsed flows.
