Abstract: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus, a controller, and a management device managing keyword information for determining permission or prohibition of image formation and location information of the image forming apparatus. The controller includes an information acquiring section, an information comparing section, and an instruction section. The information acquiring section acquires data information of image and location information of the image forming apparatus. The information comparing section compares the acquired data information of the image and the location information of the image forming apparatus with the keyword information and the location information of the image forming apparatus each managed by the management device, and determines permission or prohibition of image formation.

Abstract: An authentication method selecting unit 31 automatically selects one user authentication method among predetermined plural user authentication methods on the basis of an output from at least one among an imaging device 17 built in this electronic apparatus, an acceleration sensor 15 built in this electronic apparatus and a position detecting device 14 built in this electronic apparatus. Further, a user authenticating unit 32 performs user authentication in accordance with the user authentication method selected by the authentication method selecting unit 31.

Abstract: Provided is an authenticating apparatus that by a simple method improves security when entering a password. The authentication-processing unit executes user authentication by comparing an entered password that is entered with a preset set password. The input-receiving unit receives dummy keys while the entered password is entered that are not compared with the set password. The dummy-input-notification unit notifies using vibration of dummy key input timing and the number of times input is required. The authentication-processing unit, together with comparing the entered password with the set password, compares the number of times dummy keys are inputted with the number of times input is required. When the entered password and the set password match, and the number of times dummy keys are inputted and the number of times input is required match, authentication is determined to be successful.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus (2) comprises: a consumables managing unit (42) that detects consumables exhaustion of a printing device (31), and a wireless beacon (34) that transmits a consumables exhaustion signal without specifying a receiver when the consumables exhaustion of the printing device is detected. One or plural mobile terminal apparatuses (1) comprises a wireless communication device (11) that receives the consumables exhaustion signal, and a notification device that notifies of consumables exhaustion when the consumables exhaustion signal is received.

Abstract: This application is an invention relating to an improvement in a gas burner for a stove for leading a mixed gas to flame holes, and burning the gas therein, through a gas passage (18) from a mixing tube (5) which produces the mixed gas by mixing a gas introduced in a jet from a nozzle and primary air drawn in with introduction of the gas. A sub-chamber (Ca) is provided separately from the gas passage for storing the mixed gas in a state of flux. The sub-chamber (Ca) communicates with the gas passage (18) through an inlet (3), and discharges the mixed gas stored therein through outlets (2) disposed adjacent the flame holes. With this construction, even when a continued combustion in the flame holes becomes difficult due to air-rich air resulting from an operation of an adjusting lever of the gas burner for a stove to adjusts the quantity of gas rapidly from large to small, the mixed gas stored in the sub-chamber (Ca) is discharged from the outlets (2) to continue the combustion.
