Abstract: A label address translating device includes a unit for processing a program and judging, when processing the program, whether or not an address is obtained from a label, and a label address translating unit for reading the address corresponding to the label from a label table in an exception handling, and writing the address to the program. The program, after being processed by the label address translating device, comes into a state where the label is rewritten into the address. The rewriting into the address is performed in the exception handling, and a time needed for processing (compiling) the program is reduced.

Abstract: In a discharge control section of an inverter control device, when the connection of the battery and the smoothing capacitor is disconnected by means of a contactor, the charge accumulated on the smoothing capacitor is discharged by applying high-frequency voltage to the stator windings of the motor by controlling the main inverter circuit.

Abstract: An image forming system comprises a request analysis section which analyzes an input image forming process request and specifies a peripheral device for use in executing an image forming process and a judgment section to judge whether or not a version upgrade is performed in the peripheral device. A process execution control section executes the process when it is judged that no version upgrade is being performed in the peripheral device, and instructs an input/output section to display, via a report section, a message indicating a version upgrade being performed when it is judged that a version upgrade is being performed. In this manner, user convenience during version upgrade time is enhanced.

Abstract: In the image forming apparatus, when a RECEIVE PROCESSING UNIT receives program data downloaded from the outside, a transfer control unit judges whether the program data corresponds to the peripheral device connected to the image forming apparatus by comparing a type of the peripheral device identified by a peripheral device identification unit and the type of the peripheral device which can be specified with the downloaded program data. The transfer control unit judges that the program data is program data which corresponds to the connected peripheral device and transfers the program data to the peripheral device. In the peripheral device, a write control unit updates program data by writing the transferred program data to a data storage unit.

Abstract: A pressure wide-mouth container made of synthetic resin and having a cylindrical body portion, a flange portion projecting from the periphery of a wide mouth formed at one end of the body portion; and a bottom portion closing the other end of the body portion. The flange portion and a peripheral portion of the wide mouth are formed by injection molding and not drawn after the injection molding is carried out. The body portion except the peripheral portion of the wide mouth and the bottom portion are formed by the injection molding and drawn by a blow molding to be performed after the injection molding is carried out and the bottom portion is drawn at a lower drawing ratio than the body portion.

Abstract: If there is competition among printing jobs received by a printer, the most suitable priority ranking is determined. A printer includes a storage unit for storing job data converted to bitmap data and a control unit for implementing storage processing for converting a received print job to bitmap data and storing this data in the storage unit in job units, and print processing for reading out the stored bitmap data and executing printing operations in page units. The control unit compares the numbers of print pages for a plurality of jobs for which bitmap data has been stored, determines priority rankings for the jobs that are to be printed.

Abstract: A controller 1 reads first identification information preset for devices 2, and stores the read first identification information. Each device 2 accepts unique second identification information for identifying the device, and outputs the accepted second identification information to the controller 1. The controller 1 stores the outputted second identification information in association with the stored corresponding first identification information. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent errors in setting device names for the devices and reduce the administrator's burden.
