  • Patent number: 5973791
    Abstract: Document data is transferred from a facsimile server 118 to a facsimile apparatus 201 to transmit the document data to a plurality of destinations via a communication line 116. The document data is stored in an image memory in the facsimile apparatus 201. A cover page specific to each of the destinations is input from the facsimile server 118 to the facsimile apparatus 201. The facsimile server 118 specifies IDs and the order of transmission of the files so that the cover page is transmitted first, followed by the document data, in a series of information. The facsimile apparatus 201 transmits them to the proper destination in accordance with the cover page. This process is repeated each time a cover page input is made until transmission to all destinations is completed.

  • Patent number: 5867952
    Abstract: An aseismic support structure which includes a fixed part which is attached to a stationary floor, an equipment connection part for holding part of the equipment and a moving part coupled to the fixed part and the equipment connection part and wherein the moving part is freely movable relative to the fixed part in any direction parallel with the stationary floor and the equipment connection part is freely rotatable about the moving part. The equipment can have a caster which is held by the equipment connection part. For a weak earthquake shock, a caster lock portion of the equipment connection part locks the caster of the equipment to prevent the movement of the equipment. For a stronger earthquake, resonance is prevented by the moving part moving in a direction parallel with the stationary floor, and for a ruinous earthquake the vibration of the moving part is absorbed by a shock absorbing member attached to the fixed part.
