Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store a startup file for determining an initialized state of a plurality of devices, and a storage unit configured to store a state of each device after initialization as a startup image. When a shutdown request is issued, the image forming apparatus compares the startup file of any device specified by the startup image with the stored corresponding startup file to determine whether the state is changed. In a case where it is determined that the state of the startup file is changed, the image forming apparatus deletes the startup image stored in the storage unit for the state.

Abstract: A travel control apparatus for a forklift is disclosed. The forklift is provided with a loading device that performs load handling operations by raising and lowering a load, and a drive motor which generates a drive force for travel and is capable of generating a braking force. The apparatus is provided with a sensor for detecting the speed of the motor, a seat switch, a height switch, a load sensor, and a control section. The control section causes the drive motor to generate a braking force when the seat switch detects that the driver has left the seat in the case where the motor speed sensor detects a traveling state, and also changes the strength of the braking in accordance with the height of the loading device and the weight of the load.

Abstract: A shock-detecting apparatus for an industrial vehicle has a shock-detecting sensor that is fixed to the industrial vehicle for detecting a shock and generating an output signal, a shock value computer for computing a shock value based on the output signal which is received sequentially, a judging device for judging whether or not the shock value is greater than a threshold value, a warning generator for generating a warning signal when the judging device judges that the shock value is greater than the threshold value and a threshold value setting device for setting the threshold value. The threshold value setting device includes a display for displaying a peak value in a predetermined period which allows a user to read the peak value, wherein the peak value is determined by the computed shock value during the predetermined period and a threshold value input unit for inputting the threshold value manually.

Abstract: When a control unit is in a power saving mode, if a job is received from a host apparatus, a NIC unit responds by proxy to the job by using only some of devices in the control unit. In a case where it is determined that the NIC unit cannot respond by proxy to the job, it is determined based on a packet pattern of the job whether the job can be dealt with using only some of devices disposed in the control unit. If it is determined that the job can be dealt with using only some of devices, the NIC unit deals with the job using some of devices.

Abstract: A traveling operation detecting portion detects traveling operation and non-traveling operation selectively. The traveling operation corresponds to operator operation that involves traveling of an industrial vehicle. The non-traveling operation corresponds to operator operation that does not involve the traveling of the industrial vehicle. An upper setting portion selectively sets a first engine speed upper limit and a second engine speed upper limit, which are different from each other, as an upper limit of an acceptable speed range of an engine in correspondence with a detection result of the traveling operation detecting portion. Thus, maximum advantage of the performance of the engine is ensured in correspondence with operation of the industrial vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus for cooking food capable of quickly regulating the temperature in a housing and not causing uneven heating of food in the housing in the temperature regulation. The apparatus (50) has a housing (1) having a heater (20) in it and provided at a predetermined place in a conveyance route formed by a conveyor (49). The apparatus (50) heats food (E) to be heated by causing it to be conveyed and pass in the housing (1). An air supply opening (1f) is formed in a predetermined place of the housing (1), an air blower (48) is connected to the air supply opening (1f), and outside air can be supplied to the inside of the housing (1) by the air blower (48) via the air supply opening (1f). When the outside air is supplied from the air supply opening (1f), the air in the housing (1) is discharged from an entrance/exit (6, 6?) for the food (E) formed in the housing (1).

Abstract: In a communication system for transmitting/receiving redundant data between a first communication device and a second communication device, using first and second lines, the first communication device transmits first transmitting data to the first line, and also delays the first transmitting data by a prescribed time and transmits the delayed transmitting data to the second line as second transmitting data. The second communication device delays first receiving data inputted from the first line by the prescribed time and generates the delayed receiving data, and selects one of the second receiving data inputted from the second line and the delayed receiving data.

Abstract: This invention provides a URL management system and URL management server that is able to reduce the inconvenience that arises when the URL of a web site is changed. The system comprises a web site server 20 containing the content of a web site, a URL management server 30 that associates the URL of the web site with an intermediate URL corresponding thereto and a search server 40 that associates information regarding the content of the web site with the intermediate URL. The search server 40 sends out the intermediate URL in response to a request from a search based on the information, and the URL management server 30 converts the access destination to the URL of the web site in response to an access request made using the intermediate URL. Thereby, even in the case in which the URL of a web site is changed, there is no need to change the content registered in each search engine.

Abstract: In a process control data base, intermediate characteristics, processing condition for controlling a characteristic and a final characteristic in a process of manufacturing products are stored as a set of data for each product lot. In Process 1, a set of data for each product lot are prepared. Next, in Process 2, cluster processing is conducted on each set of data obtained in Process 1. In Process 3, using the set of data obtained in Process 2, the intermediate characteristics and the processing condition for controlling a characteristic are inputted and the final characteristic is outputted, and a causal relation between the input and output is quantified by a neural network so as to make a learning model. In a model applying stage, the most appropriate processing condition for controlling a characteristic is retrieved by using the learning model and the intermediate characteristics in the previous steps.
