  • Publication number: 20170206432
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a feature value extractor and an image adjuster. The feature value extractor extracts feature values of a first specified image, which is an image of a region specified in advance in a first image. The image adjuster changes, in a case where the feature values of the first specified image are to be reflected in a second image, for each region of the second image, a degree to which the feature values of the first specified image are to be reflected, and adjusts an image quality of the second image.

  • Publication number: 20170132499
    Abstract: Delaying processing based on received commands is suppressed while preventing executing parallel processes involving operation of hardware. Servers can send printing commands and non-printing commands to a printing device. When a printing command is received from a first server and a printing command is then received from another server different from the first server while a process based on the printing command received from the first server is executing, the printing device does not execute the process based on the printing command received from the other server; but if a non-printing command is received from another server, the printing device executes a process based on the non-printing command received from the other server parallel to the process based on the printing command received from the first server.

  • Publication number: 20170104849
    Abstract: Increasing the processing load on the server is suppressed in a network system in which response requests are intermittently transmitted from a client to a server. A network system has a client configured to transmit response requests at a specific time interval, and a server configured to send a response to the client according to a received response request. The server calculates a communication interval indicating an interval at which the client is to transmit its response request based on a factor affecting the processing load of the server, and sends communication interval information indicating the calculated communication interval to the client. The client transmits its response request at the time interval indicated by the communication interval information received from the server.

    Abstract: A vapor jet system to continuously jet vapors while suppressing cavitation. One vapor jet system includes a liquid storage part for separately storing two or more kinds of mutually insoluble liquids; a jet orifice; and a jet control part. Jetting the vapors is from a state where pressure in the space storing the vapors in the liquid storage part is higher than the saturated vapor pressure in any of the two or more kinds of liquids. Alternatively, a vapor jet system can include a fluid storage part storing one kind of liquid and at least one kind of inactive gas having a composition different from the liquid; a similar jet orifice; and a similar jet control part. Jetting the vapors and inactive gas(es) is (are) from a state where pressure in a vapor storing space in the fluid storage part is higher than the saturated vapor pressure in the liquid.
