Abstract: A conductive film includes a metal oxide as a main component. The metal oxide contains the same components as components of a compound represented by a formula (I): (AO)2B6O11??(I) where A in the formula (I) is a metal element capable of having a valence of +1 or +2, B in the formula (I) is a transition metal element capable of having a valence of +4 or +5, O in the formula (I) is an oxygen element, and an average valence of B in the formula (I) is less than the maximum oxidation number of B. The metal oxide has a crystal structure in which diffraction peaks in an X-ray diffraction pattern of the metal oxide appear at same diffraction angles as diffraction angles at which diffraction peaks in an X-ray diffraction pattern of the compound represented by the formula (I) appear.

Abstract: In a case where a standard authentication system is being connected to an image forming device, a cooperation processing unit of the image forming device uses a set value managed by a set value management unit thereby to cooperate with the standard authentication system. In a case where an extension authentication system is being connected to the image forming device, the cooperation processing unit of the image forming device uses a set value managed by a set value management service, which is an extension service that provides a function other than a standard function of the electronic device, thereby to cooperate with the extension authentication system. A program for the cooperation processing unit and a program for the set value management unit are included in firmware of the image forming device. A set value management program for the set value management service is not included in the firmware.

Abstract: When a first image forming apparatus 1 cannot perform printing based on a print instruction from a user, the first image forming apparatus 1 (a1) makes a substitution printing request to a second image forming apparatus 2 and (a2) receives a temporary authentication ID from this second image forming apparatus 2 and notifies the user of it if the user is not managed by an authentication server 4 that manages this second image forming apparatus 2. If the user is not managed by the authentication server 4 and not authenticated when receiving the substitution printing request, the second image forming apparatus 2 (b1) requests the authentication server 4 to issue the authentication ID, (b2) receives the authentication ID and notifies the apparatus 1 of it, and (b3) receives a user inputted authentication ID and performs the printing if the inputted authentication ID is identical to the received one.

Abstract: To provide an image forming system, an image forming device, a mobile communication terminal, and a relay server, all of which are interrelated to each other such that the mobile communication terminal is capable of remotely controlling the image forming device without having to conduct a confirmation of the image forming device. When a user changes a setting value through a setting value operation screen that appears on an operation panel, the mobile communication terminal transmits a setting value change demand notification including the changing setting value to the relay server. The relay server compares the preceding setting value to a setting value of the image forming device that the relay server stores currently to detect a setting value of the image forming device which is to be rewritten. The relay server rewrites the resulting setting value.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a menu management section, a variant-attribute menu management section, and a display processing section. The menu management section manages a tree structure including a plurality of menus hierarchized according to their attributes. The variant-attribute menu management section manages a variant-attribute menu associated with a specified menu as a quasi lower-level menu. The specified menu is classified according to its variant attribute different from corresponding one of the attributes used for the tree structure. The display processing section displays the quasi lower-level menu on a display according to selection of the variant-attribute menu and displays, once the quasi lower-level menu is selected, a next-lower-level menu of the quasi lower-level menu on the display based on path information and the tree structure. The path information shows pathways to be selected to reach the specified menu in the tree structure.

Abstract: The present invention provides a manufacturing method of a carbon nanotube composite which manufactures the carbon nanotube composite by integrally bonding a mixed powdery body which is formed by mixing a metal powdery body and carbon nanotubes. A mixed powdery body is pressurized in the uniaxial direction using the first mold and the second mold, and a strain stress is applied to the pressurized mixed powdery body in a non-heated state which applies no heat to the mixed powdery body from outside. The strain stress may be a stress generated by a rotational strain which is imparted to the mixed powdery body by rotating at least one mold of the first mold and the second mold with respect to another mold.
