Abstract: An operation panel of an image forming apparatus receives in a login state and does not receive in a logout state a job setting instruction, etc. When a communication section receives a confirmation request to confirm use status of the image forming apparatus, a controller of the image forming apparatus specifies a requester who is a user of a communication device having transmitted the confirmation request and determines whether the image forming apparatus is to be set in a reserved state based on communication with the communication device. When a user information set of the requester is input in a state in which the image forming apparatus is in the reserved state, the controller causes the operation panel to transition from the logout state to the login state. The controller refuses additional login from a user other than the requester during the image forming apparatus being in the reserved state.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes first and second buffers respectively outputting reception data and clock signals; a latch circuit latching the reception data signal in response to the reception clock signal; a delay circuitry delaying the reception clock signal by a set delay time; and a delay control circuitry which searches a first delay time while increasing the set delay time from an initial value; searches a second delay time while increasing the set delay time from the first delay time; searches a third delay time while decreasing the set delay time from the second delay time; and determines an optimum delay time from the first and third delay times. The first and third delay times are determined so that the reception data is stabilized to a first value and the second delay time is determined so that the reception data is stabilized to a second value.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for improving a scheduling request transmission between a UE and a base station. The transmission of the scheduling request is postponed, by implementing a threshold that the data in the transmission buffer has to reach, before a transmission of the scheduling request is triggered. In one variant, the data in the transmission buffer needs to reach a specific amount, to trigger a scheduling request. The invention refers to further improvements: the PDDCH monitoring time window is delayed after sending a scheduling request; the dedicated scheduling request resources of the PUCCH are prioritized differently such that low-priority scheduling requests are transmitted less often.
