| 20090073512 | DOCUMENT FEEDING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - A document feeding device has: a document placement stand on which documents of different sizes can be placed; a conveying section separating, one-by-one, documents of a document stack placed on the document placement stand, and conveying a separated document to a discharging section; a first document width sensing unit sensing a maximum document width of the document stack placed on the document placement stand; a second document width sensing unit sensing a document width of a document separated from the document placement stand by the conveying section; and a controller that, in a case in which a mixed size document mode that permits conveying of documents of different sizes is not set, causes the conveying section to restartably interrupt conveying of the document when the maximum document width sensed by the first document width sensing unit and the document width sensed by the second document width sensing unit differ. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20100079689 | LIQUID CRYSTAL MOLECULE, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND LIQUID CRYSTAL OPTICAL SPATIAL MODULATION DEVICE - A liquid crystal molecule is disclosed, having a structure represented by the following general formula (1): | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100079719 | LIQUID CRYSTAL MOLECULE, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE, AND LIQUID CRYSTAL SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATION DEVICE - A liquid crystal molecule includes a structure represented by Formula (1): | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100085530 | LIQUID CRYSTAL MOLECULE, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND LIQUID CRYSTAL OPTICAL SPATIAL MODULATION DEVICE - A liquid crystal molecule is disclosed, having a structure represented by the following general formula (1): | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100085531 | LIQUID CRYSTAL MOLECULE, LIQUID CRYSTAL MATERIAL, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND LIQUID CRYSTAL OPTICAL SPATIAL MODULATION DEVICE - A liquid crystal molecule is disclosed, having a structure represented by the following general formula (1): | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100201064 | TRANSPORTING DEVICE, IMAGE READING DEVICE, METHOD AND PROGRAM STORAGE MEDIUM - The present invention provides a transporting device that includes: a transport unit that transports a document placed on a document tray; a detector that detects the width of the document placed on the document tray; a controller that controls the transport unit to transport the document when the width of the document detected by the detector is a predetermined definite size, and prohibits the transport unit from transporting the document when the width of the document detected by the detector is a predetermined size that is different from the definite size; and a cancellation unit that cancels the prohibition on the document transportation imposed by the controller. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20110102731 | LIQUID CRYSTAL MATERIAL, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE, LIQUID CRYSTAL OPTICAL SPACE MODULATION DEVICE, AND LIQUID CRYSTAL SHUTTER - A liquid crystal material in which liquid crystal molecules have uniform alignment state is provided. A liquid crystal layer containing a liquid crystal material is included between a TFT array substrate and an opposed substrate. The liquid crystal material has a phase system continuously showing an isotropic phase, a nematic phase, and a smectic ‘A’ phase in this order as temperature changes from higher state to lower state and shows electroclinic effect in the smectic ‘A’ phase. As the liquid crystal material is heated (temperature is increased), the nematic phase is shown after the smectic ‘A’ phase without other phase in between, and the isotropic phase is shown after the nematic phase without other phase in between. Since the alignment state of the liquid crystal molecules becomes uniform, the transmittance is precisely controlled. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110310465 | ELECTROPHORETIC DEVICE, DISPLAY, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - An electrophoretic device includes an insulating liquid, an electrophoretic particle in the insulating liquid, and a porous layer in the insulating liquid. The porous layer includes a fibrous structure that includes a non-electrophoretic particle having an optical reflective property different from that of the electrophoretic particle. | 12-22-2011 |

| 20080244264 | PUBLIC KEY CERTIFICATE VALIDATION SYSTEM - To validate a certificate of a service provider apparatus, a service receiving apparatus determines a certificate validation method on based on a combination of the performance of the service receiving apparatus, the performance of a CRL repository apparatus, the performance of a certificate validation apparatus, and the performance of a network, and performs validation of a certificate by the determined method. Furthermore, to validate a certificate of a service provider apparatus, a service receiving apparatus requests a method selection apparatus to validate the certificate, and the method selection apparatus determines a certificate validation method based on a combination of the performance of the method selection apparatus, the performance of the CRL repository apparatus, the performance of the certificate validation apparatus and the performance of the network, validates the certificate by the determined method, and notifies a validation result to the service receiving apparatus. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090249461 | BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - There is provided a management server technology that allows a user to continuously use a business function of a business server without logging in again to the business server, even if the authority of the user to the business server is changed. The business server receives an access from a user terminal, and requests a management server to perform user authentication. In response to the authentication request, the management server determines a future scheduled authority of the user, generates not only authority information at the time of the user authentication, but also a determination result including the future scheduled authority information, and transmits them to the business server. The business server provides the user terminal with a new business function based on the scheduled user authority information, upon expiration of a validity period of the user authority to the current business function. | 10-01-2009 |
