Abstract: A facsimile apparatus prints out a received image interrupted during the reception by the same process for both the interruption of a communication line and the power failure of a power supply. A bit pattern called a page interruption code which does not appear in normal code data is used as data to be overwritten to erase the past image data stored in a buffer memory. In a decoding process, a function to detect an RTC code which is a normal page end code and a function to detect the page interruption code are provided so that the image interrupted during the reception is printed out to at least the last point of the received image.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an antiinflamatory agent or immunosuppressant that contains as its active ingredient a peptide that inhibits phosphorylation of I.kappa.B.alpha., an example of which is the peptide having the following amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1): Met-Leu-Pro-Glu-Ser-Glu-Asp-Glu-Glu-Ser-Tyr-Asp-Thr-Glu-Ser-Glu-Phe-Thr-Gl u-Phe-Thr-Glu-Asp-Glu-Leu.

Abstract: A change over unit 12 is controlled to become conductive only when useful data is stored in a memory 15 for storing data to be processed. Therefore, when a main power supply is shut off, a memory backup function of a backup battery 13 is operated only when useful data is stored in the memory 15, thereby preventing unnecessary backup, which results in preventing the backup battery 13 from unnecessarily discharging and realizing a reliable memory backup.

Abstract: There is disclosed an image processing apparatus which decodes code data to generate pixel data and prints an image on the basis of the pixel data by using a page printer, such as a laser beam printer, which prints an image on sheets of paper.

Abstract: A novel method for production of an exogenous protein is provided, the method being suitable for expression of an exogenous protein, especially a recombinant antibody etc., in an eucaryotic cell by utilizing a genetic recombination technique. That is, a novel method for production of an exogenous protein is provided which allows for culture of a cell in which an exogenous gene is introduced in a serum-free medium and an efficient production of an exogenous protein, by using, as a host cell for expression, a fused cell which is prepared by fusing a mouse myeloma and a lymphatic cell and which can be cultured in a serum-free medium.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus forms interpolating image data of a plurality of lines subjected to smoothing processing including original image data from the original image data. The apparatus selects and outputs image data of a predetermined number of lines corresponding to a reduction ratio from among the image data of the plurality of lines. A reduced image subjected to smoothing processing with high picture quality without loss of information of original lines is thereby obtained.

Abstract: Shrinkage mark due to difference in thickness between a thick bottom portion and a thin bottom wall portion of a cassette is reduced by forming a recess in the thick wall portion and life of molding dies is elongated by forming an end wall of the recess having a top surface in common with the parting line of the thick bottom wall portion.

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus has a first coder for coding image data by a one-dimensional coding method or a two-dimensional coding method, and a second coder for performing coding by a second coding method different from these coding methods. When the amount of code of one line coded by the first coder exceeds a predetermined amount, coding by the first coder is suspended and the image data are coded upon making a changeover to coding by the second coder. In addition, a code resulting from coding by the one- or two-dimensional coding method and a code resulting from coding by the second coding method can be received and decoded.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus comprises: code analyzing means for analyzing input code data encoded by a two-dimension encoding system; developing means for developing the code data in accordance with an analysis result by the code analyzing means, to produce decoded data; and means for stopping the analysis by the code analyzing means by detecting a horizontal mode code by the code analyzing means, and resuming the analysis by the code analyzing means by the completion of the development of the analyzed code data by the developing means. The code analyzing means and the developing means are parallelly operated, and upon detection of the horizontal mode code, the analysis by the code analyzing means is temporarily stopped until the development of the analyzed code data is over.

Abstract: A decoding device for two-dimensional codes employs a first serial reference line signal which assumes the value "1" only at the change point from black to white, and a second reference line signal which assumes the value "1" only at the change point from white to black, either of which is selected according to the color of the start pixel. The end of a reference line can be identified by the value "1" in both reference line signals. The decoding device can thus achieve high-speed development of two-dimensional codes without a large-scale logic circuit.
