  • Image forming apparatus responding to request during use of erasable ink
    Patent number: 8979233
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a first image forming unit configured to form an image with erasable first ink; a second image forming unit configured to share a conveying path with the first image forming unit and form an image with not erasable second ink; a recording unit configured to record a level of use of a recording medium on the recording medium; a detecting unit configured to detect the level of use; and a control unit configured to control the first image forming unit or the second image forming unit according to a detection result of the detecting unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Interface circuit
    Patent number: 8027389
    Abstract: A transmission circuit (101) for transmitting data onto a transmission line, and a mask circuit (102) for generating a mask signal (105) for removing a reflected wave based on a transmission timing notification signal (104) supplied form the transmission circuit (101) are provided. For example, a timer circuit (301) causes the mask signal (105) to be effective only for a predetermined time immediately after transmission. A logic circuit (302) is used to remove a reflected wave from the received signal (106) based on the mask signal (105), and a resultant masked received signal (107) is input to a reception circuit (103).
