Abstract

An image forming apparatus records identification information of an external memory and identification information of a scan job as a log when the external memory is attached to start the scan job. When the external memory is removed in the middle of the scan job, scan data is temporarily saved together with the identification information of the job. When the removed external memory is attached, for example, in a ready state, log data is referred to determine whether the external memory is that removed in the middle of the job and whether the scan data associated with the external memory is saved. When it is determined that the scan data is saved, the scan data is saved in the external memory.

Abstract

An optical scanning device includes a light emitter, a driver, and a signal outputter. The light emitter emits a laser beam. The driver operates, depending on a signal inputted thereto, in a master state in which the driver performs initialization by reading data from a storage device or in a slave state in which the driver drives the light emitter according to an operation mode corresponding to the signal. The signal outputter outputs the signal to the driver. For the initialization of the driver, the signal outputter outputs a signal for setting the driver to the slave state and setting the operation mode to a specific operation mode. The driver performs the initialization based on a beam intensity of the laser beam emitted from the light emitter driven according to the operation mode based on the signal outputted from the signal outputter.

Abstract

An optical scanning unit steers a light beam emitted from a laser diode in the main scanning direction by a polygon mirror. The laser diode, a collimator lens, an aperture, a first lens, the polygon mirror, and a condensing lens are sequentially placed in the optical system of the optical scanning unit. The laser diode emits a light beam in which divergent angles in intersecting two directions are different from each other. The direction in which the light beam divergent angle is large is aligned with the sub-scanning direction, and the direction in which the light beam divergent angle is small is aligned with the main scanning direction. The first lens has a first function to condense a beam in the sub-scanning direction and a second function to diffuse a beam in the main scanning direction.

Abstract

In an information processing system, an information processing apparatus saves mobile address book data of a mobile terminal in a temporary database, and refers to the mobile address book data to execute an image transmission job. When user authentication is not performed to the mobile terminal after the mobile address book data has been referenced, the temporary database is deleted at a first timing at which a reset key is operated on an image transmission screen, a second timing at which the image transmission screen transitions from the image transmission screen transitions to another screen, or a third timing after a predetermined time has elapsed. When the user authentication is performed, the temporary database is deleted at a timing of logging out by an explicit logout operation or an automatic logout due to elapse of a time.

Abstract

Provided is a display device with pixel circuits, each having a light-emitting element, a drive transistor, a first compensation transistor connected to a control terminal of the drive transistor at a first conductive terminal, an intermediate node at a second conductive terminal, and a scanning line at a control terminal, a second compensation transistor connected to the intermediate node at a first conductive terminal, a conductive terminal of the drive transistor at a second conductive terminal, and the scanning line at a control terminal, and a capacitor connected to the intermediate node at a first electrode and a control line at a second electrode. The driver circuit changes a potential of the scanning line from on to off level and also changes a potential of the control line from a second level to a first level, in an opposite direction to the change in the potential of the scanning line, at a time corresponding to the change in the potential of the scanning line. Thus, the display device renders it possible to prevent display screen flickering during low-frequency drive.

Abstract

A method of encoding video data by a device is provided. Transform coefficient values associated with a chroma coding block are received. The chroma coding block is one of chroma coding blocks resulting from partitioning a chroma coding tree block and misaligned with a luma coding tree block corresponding to the chroma coding tree block and partitioned into luma coding blocks which are organized into quantization groups such that luma quantization parameters are determined for the luma coding tree block. One of the luma quantization parameters that is mapped to the chroma coding block is identified. A predictive quantization parameter is derived by using a value derived from the identified luma quantization parameter. A chroma quantization parameter is determined by adding a delta quantization parameter associated with each of the chroma coding blocks to the predictive quantization parameter. Level values are generated based on the determined chroma quantization parameter.

Abstract

The fixing device includes: a fixing belt that is heated by a heater lamp; a pressure roller that makes contact with the fixing belt; a fixing pad that sandwiches the fixing belt from the inner side of the fixing belt and is arranged opposing the pressure roller, and which forms a nip portion between the fixing belt and the pressure roller; a sliding sheet provided between the fixing pad and the fixing belt, which reduces the frictional force with the fixing belt; and a pad heat transfer plate provided between the sliding sheet and the fixing pad, which adjusts the heat transfer in a longitudinal direction of the fixing belt. The fixing pad has protrusions and that make contact with the pad heat transfer plate, and forms a gap between the fixing pad and the pad heat transfer plate in a location where the protrusions and are not making contact.
