20110024967 | MANAGING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE MANAGING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - Degrees of wear of sheet-feed rollers corresponding to sheet-feed cassettes are managed by considering types of sheets set at feeding units. A control method for controlling a managing apparatus for managing a feeding device that feeds sheets, set in the feeding units, by driving the sheet-feed rollers corresponding to the feeding units includes storing sheet information in a storage unit, the sheet information indicating types of the sheets that are set in the respective feeding units; and managing degrees of wear of the sheet-feed rollers for the respective feeding units in accordance with the numbers of fed sheets and the sheet information stored in the storage unit, the degrees of wear resulting from the sheets fed from the feeding units. | 02-03-2011 |
20110283121 | MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, SYSTEM INCLUDING THE MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND MULTIPLE DEVICES, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE APPARATUS AND THE SYSTEM - In a system including multiple devices and a management apparatus, the management apparatus receives target power consumption, and a setting of a time period for performing power saving control, calculates target power consumption of each device and sets the calculated target power consumption for each device. When a power amount reallocation request is received from a first device in which power consumption of the device has reached a power saving transition power amount within the time period, the management apparatus calculates predicted power consumption of each of the multiple devices when the time period ends and chooses a second device that will not reach the corresponding power saving transition power amount of the device by the end of the time period and determines an amount of power consumption allocatable from the second device to the first device is determined. | 11-17-2011 |
20120166850 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - An information processing apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store data, a supply unit configured to supply electric power to the storage unit, a determination unit configured to determine whether to cause the information processing apparatus to operate in a power saving mode, a measuring unit configured to measure an elapsed time after a power source of the information processing apparatus is turned on and until the determination unit determines to cause the information processing apparatus to operate in a power saving mode, and a control unit configured to control the supply unit to decrease electric power supplied from the supply unit to the storage unit at a timing determined based on the elapsed time and a predetermined reference time, in case that the determination unit determines to cause the information processing apparatus to operate in a power saving mode. | 06-28-2012 |
