Abstract: The facsimile apparatus of this invention performs recognition processing by storing image data received from a transmitting terminal and by decoding the image data stored. The image data received is relayed and transmitted to multiple destinations on the basis of the result of this recognition.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for production of water-soluble vegetable fibers in a high yield with minimizing contamination of protein or amino acids resulting from degradation of protein by degrading water-insoluble vegetable fibers containing protein under acidic conditions of at about the isoelectric point of the protein and at a temperature of 130.degree. C. or lower. Biodegradable films, paste, chewing gum and low calorie food products using the water-soluble vegetable fibers are also disclosed.

Abstract: A communicating apparatus to communicate image data such as in a facsimile apparatus comprises: a receiving circuit to receive image information from a distant side terminal; a recognition section to perform the character recognition on the basis of the received information from the receiving circuit; and a transmitting circuit to transmit an abnormal reception signal to the distant side terminal when the recognition by the recognition section cannot be executed. The recognition section discriminates whether the received image information has been obtained by reading an OCR sheet or not. When an unrecognizable character exists on a received document, the unrecognizable character position, the result of the recognition, an abnormal reception signal, the input image data, and a request for retransmission of the image data are sent back from the distant side terminal to the transmitting side apparatus, so that the image data can be automatically retransmitted therefrom by the simple operation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sheet supplying apparatus with a sheet stacking plate on which a plurality of sheets can be stacked, a sheet supply unit for successively supplying the sheets rested on the sheet stacking plate one by one, and a sheet regulating device for regulating a tip end of the sheet stack rested on the sheet stacking plate. The sheet supply unit has a rotary member and the rotary member has a cooperation portion for switching regulation and release of the tip end of the sheet stack by the sheet regulating device. Further, when the rotary member is rotated in a sheet conveying direction, the sheet regulating device is shifted by the cooperation portion to a position where the regulation of the tip end of the sheet stack is released.

Abstract: A process for producing a soybean protein material involves heating a soybean protein solution in the presence of an alkaline earth metal and then slowly freezing the solution. The soybean protein material formed by the method has a structure in which the layers are oriented along the non-cell ice crystals. The soybean protein material produced by the method has a very smooth mouthfeel in its raw condition but has a mouthfeel similar to that of meat when heated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a technology regarding an intelligent network. When an originating subscriber accesses an information offer service by inputting service access information, a service switching point accesses a service control point. The service control point further implements a desired service process corresponding to the service access information, in response to the above step. When the service switching point is informed of the process result, the service switching point is connected to a destination station which accommodates a destination subscriber providing an information offer service, using a method of discriminating an intelligent network call, based on the result processed by the service control point, so that an incoming call to the destination subscriber is established. The object is to regulate certainly a bypass call in a information offer service.

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus facilitates the setting of SUB/SEP/PWD of the ITU-T Recommendation T.30.A service access number area for storing information for generating a SUB or SEP signal and a service access password area for a PWD signal are provided in an auto-dial such as one-touch dial or abbreviated dial to eliminate need of a user to set SUB/SEP/PWD for each transmission.

Abstract: A communicating apparatus connected to an extension line of a private branch exchange (PBX) network comprises: a judging unit to judge whether a call was performed to an external line of the PBX network or a call was executed to an extension terminal; and a transmission unit to transmit terminal information according to the result of the judgment by the judging unit through the extension line. The terminal information includes a calling party number in an SETUP command. The transmission unit transmits the terminal information in a G4 facsimile procedure.

Abstract: A transferring method from an ISDN telephone to an ISDN data terminal comprises the steps of: transmitting a message to request a temporary interruption of a call to the ISDN from the call received ISDN telephone; transmitting a message to request a start of the interruption call to the ISDN from the ISDN data terminal connected to the same bus, as that of the ISDN telephone; and executing a data communication such as a G3 facsimile communication by the ISDN data terminal.

Abstract: A process for producing an edible proteinaceous film entails kneading and melting a raw material containing water and protein with heating by an extruder, extruding the melted material through a die in an extruder to form a tubular extrudate, providing a gas at a pressure above atmospheric pressure to the interior of the tubular extrudate while exhausting the gas, and holding and receiving the tubular extrudate with a take-off means. An apparatus for use with the method affords edible films. The apparatus and process are particularly advantageous for forming edible films from various sources of soybean protein.

Abstract: A serial printer easy to assemble and capable of being assembled through an automatic assembling process. A control device is disposed near and along one of the opposite sides of a chassis and electrical components and distributed functional devices are disposed opposite to the control device. The electrical components and the distributed functional devices are connected electrically to the control device by connectors having elastic contact portions which maintain elastic contact with the signal terminals of the control device, the electrical components and the distributed functional devices (210, 220, 230).
