Patent number: 8130401Abstract: The image forming system is provided with: a printer that superposes and transfers plural images formed by use of plural image forming materials to a medium; and a data processor that supplies data of the images to the printer. The data processor includes: a data generation unit that generates data of image components corresponding to the respective kinds of the image forming materials; a data forwarding unit that forwards the generated data to the printer; and an assigning unit that assigns the image components in accordance with the data amount of the forwarded data. The printer includes: an output controller that controls an image forming mechanism to form an image by use of the image forming materials; and a switch processing unit that transmits the data received from the data processor, to the output controller corresponding to the image components of the received data.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2008Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinori Awata, Yoshihiro Ohshima, Yukiharu Inoue, Kazuya Hashimoto, Fumio Takatani, Yasuaki Mitobe

Patent number: 7333740Abstract: An image-formation control apparatus is connected to an image forming apparatus for forming an image on a medium with a plurality of color materials. The image-formation control apparatus includes a receiving unit and a first calibration unit. The receiving unit receives an image formation command, which is to be executed by the image forming apparatus. The first calibration unit generates a first formation command to form a first number of color patches for adjusting output characteristics of the color materials in the image forming apparatus and outputs the generated first formation command to the image forming apparatus. The first calibration unit calculates an estimated consumption amount of each color material used in the image forming apparatus on a basis of the received image formation command and determines colors of the color patches formed on a patch sheet on a basis of the estimated consumption amount.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2005Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaomi Sakamoto, Masao Seki, Ryuichi Ishizuka, Yukiharu Inoue, Toshifumi Takahira, Ryo Agehama

Patent number: 5598717Abstract: An air conditioner using a non-azeotropic mixture refrigerant formed of a high boiling-point refrigerant and a low boiling-point refrigerant is provided with a first temperature sensor for detecting a temperature at an inlet of an outdoor heat exchanger when the outdoor heat exchanger serves as an evaporator in heating cycle, a second temperature sensor for detecting an outside air temperature, and a controller for controlling an opening degree of an expansion valve on the basis of a temperature difference between the outside air temperature and the inlet temperature of said evaporator. For example, the opening degree of the expansion valve is controlled so that the temperature difference between the outside air temperature and the inlet temperature is equal to a predetermined value.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1995Date of Patent: February 4, 1997Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Naohito Sakamoto, Ichiro Kamimura, Yukiharu Inoue, Kazuhiro Shimura
