20090060392 | IMAGE READING DEVICE AND IMAGE READING-TRANSMITTING METHOD - The present technique provides an image reading device that allows an image transmission destination terminal to be designated simply from a console. The communication unit of the image reading device receives verification data from terminals via a network. The storage unit stores each of the received verification data in association with the terminal which had transmitted the verification data. The user inputs authentication data to the console after setting the document in place. When the authentication data is input to the console, a list of terminals associated with the verification data matching the authentication data is displayed. The user may select from the displayed list, via the console, the transmission destination terminal to which the image is to be transmitted. When the transmission destination terminal is selected by the user, the reading control unit reads out an image and transmits the image to the selected transmission destination terminal. The number of terminals displayed as candidates for the image transmission destination can be limited. The user is therefore able to easily designate the image transmission destination terminal. | 03-05-2009 |

20120032934 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DRIVING A BISTABLE NEMATIC DOT-MATRIX LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL - Voltage consumption during flashing of a frame is suppressed. Under a state in which an image is written and held, when a waveform of low voltage at low frequency is applied to the whole surface of a bistable liquid crystal display panel, the liquid crystal molecules are inclined to some extent, if not to the state vertical to a substrate, and the frame displays gray close to white. After that, when the voltage application is stopped, the image displayed before the application appears because the orientation state of the bistable liquid crystal display panel is not broken. By utilizing this phenomenon, a state of applying the waveform of low voltage at low frequency and a non-application state are repeated at a given time interval, and hence the frame can be flashed with low power consumption. | 02-09-2012 |
