20140357804 | RUBBER COMPOSITION FOR TIRE, VULCANIZED RUBBER COMPOSITION FOR TIRE, AND TIRES USING SAME - An object of the present invention is to provide a rubber composition for a tire, capable of achieving both good rolling resistance properties and good wear resistance in a sufficiently compatible manner when the rubber composition is applied to a component member of a tire. Specifically, the present invention provides a rubber composition comprising a rubber composition and hydrated silica, wherein “CTAB” (m | 12-04-2014 |
20140376025 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A CPU of an image forming apparatus acquires a transmission instruction for a log, destination information on a WebDAV server, authentication information, and the like from a management server in accordance with a schedule set by the management server, determines whether or not special log information is to be transmitted to the WebDAV server in accordance with a link speed with respect to the WebDAV server, and notifies the management server of an error when it is determined that the special log information is not to be transmitted. Further, when it is determined that the special log information is to be transmitted, the CPU transmits the special log information to the WebDAV server by using the destination information and the authentication information. | 12-25-2014 |
20150138582 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME AND STORAGE MEDIUM - In a communication system, an image forming apparatus provides screen data for displaying a setting screen (remote UI) through which the settings of the image forming apparatus can be changed to a client PC via a network. Further, in the case where a change in the image forming apparatus is received via an operation panel (that is, via a local UI), the image forming apparatus transmits, to the client PC, data for inhibiting input related to the changed setting via the setting screen. Thereafter, when an operation of the image forming apparatus related to the changed setting is completed, the image forming apparatus transmits, to client PC, data for cancelling the inhibition of input related to the changed setting via the setting screen. | 05-21-2015 |
20150153978 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS CAPABLE OF NOTIFYING TEMPORARY DISCONNECTION FROM NETWORK, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, METHOD OF CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printing system capable of distinguishing between disconnection of a communication apparatus from a network caused by power-off of the communication apparatus and temporary disconnection of the communication apparatus from the network caused by a change in an operation mode of the communication apparatus. A printing system includes a printing apparatus and a print server. When the printing apparatus has shifted from a first communication mode for performing wireless communication between the printing apparatus and the mobile terminal to a second communication mode for communicating with the print server, the printing apparatus notifies the print server of predetermined information. When the predetermined information is received, the print server transmits a print job spooled therein to the printing apparatus. | 06-04-2015 |
20150301765 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A communication system includes an image processing apparatus, a supporting apparatus capable of providing the remote support service to a user of the image processing apparatus, and a management server configured to associate the image processing apparatus with the supporting apparatus providing the remote support to the image processing apparatus to manage the image processing apparatus and the supporting apparatus. Upon receipt of the remote support service start request from the user, the image processing apparatus requests a relay server to allocate relay information for communication via the relay server, and notifies the management server of the relay information allocated by the relay server. The management server notifies the supporting apparatus managed in association with the image processing apparatus of the relay information. Using the relay information enables the image processing apparatus and the supporting apparatus to communicate with each other to provide the remote support via the relay server. | 10-22-2015 |
