A radiation image capturing system includes a capturing room and a console. The capturing room includes a bucky apparatus, a radiation irradiating apparatus and a detecting unit. A plurality of portable radiation image capturing apparatuses can be loaded on the bucky apparatus. The radiation irradiating apparatus is able to simultaneously irradiate radiation to the plurality of portable radiation image capturing apparatuses. The console is associated with the capturing room and obtains capturing order information. The console allows the portable radiation image capturing apparatuses to advance to a capturing possible state when the console judges that capturing in the capturing order information is long length capturing. The console allows only one of the portable radiation image capturing apparatuses to advance to the capturing possible state when the console judges that the capturing is not the long length capturing.

Radiation image capturing system

If a defect flag stored in a CFwhile a BIOS is being booted, an information processing deviceboots a second program stored in an external deviceconnected to a connection section, and if the defect flag is not detected, the information processing deviceconfirms whether or not the first program is bootable. If the first program is confirmed to be bootable, the first program is booted and if not, the defect flag is set in the CFand the power of the information processing apparatusis turned off.

Information processing apparatus and program

An image processing apparatus comprises a memory; a store control section to divide and store image data in plural vacant memory regions in the memory; and an image administrating information registering section to register each divided image data divided by the store control section by correlating position information of each divided image data in the image data before dividing the image data with storing position information of each divided image data indicating a storing memory region.

Image forming apparatus

An information processing apparatus including: a first recording medium which stores a first program; a connection section which is capable of connecting to a second recording medium outside of the information processing apparatus; an instruction input section to input, while the information processing apparatus is in an activated state, an instruction for booting a second program stored in the second recording medium that is connected to the connection section on booting of the BIOS; and a controller which, performs a check when booting of a BIOS, if the second recording medium is connected and the instruction has been input while the information processing apparatus is in an activated state; in case when the second recording medium is connected and the instruction has been input is confirmed, the control section boots the second program; and in case when it is not confirmed, the control section boots the first program.

A data processing apparatus which saves data in a volatile memory into a nonvolatile memory when power is off, the data processing apparatus including:

Data processing apparatus and program

An information processing apparatus including: a first recording medium which stores a first program; a connection section which is capable of connecting with a second recording medium from outside; and a controller which determines, during BIOS boot-up operation, whether or not the connection section is connected with the second recording medium which stores predetermined authentication information, and if connected, boots a second program stored in the second recording medium, while if not connected, boots the first program stored in the first recording medium.

A memory apparatus including: a cache control section to control a cache memory for an auxiliary storage apparatus; a volatile memory; and a nonvolatile memory, wherein the cache memory for the auxiliary storage apparatus is configured to have a volatile cache memory provided in the volatile memory and a nonvolatile cache memory provided in the nonvolatile memory, and wherein the cache control section accesses the nonvolatile cache memory using a write back method.

Memory apparatus, cache control method, and cache control program

An information processing apparatus including: a nonvolatile memory; a volatile system memory in which predetermined data stored in the nonvolatile memory is developed; a control section to save the predetermined data stored in the system memory in the nonvolatile memory when a start of power-off operation is detected; and a storage section that stores a first timing information representing a time point of terminating the operation of saving the predetermined data in the nonvolatile memory, and a second timing information representing a power-off time point, wherein the control section compares the first timing information stored in the storage section with the second timing information, subsequent to the next operation of turning on of the power.

Verifying the validity of data saved at power down by comparing the time of save to time of power-off upon start up

There is described an image processing apparatus which enables an additional image, such as a 'Confidential' mark, to be added to an original image only during the period when it is necessary to be outputted. The image processing apparatus includes an image signals obtaining section which obtains image signals corresponding to an image; an additional image setting section which sets an additional image with the image corresponding to the image signals; a day and time information setting section which sets a day and time information used for judging whether the image is outputted with or without an additional image in outputting the image based on the image signals; and a judgment section which judges whether date and time information meets date and time for output when the image is outputted based on the image signals.

Image processing method and image processing apparatus

An image processing apparatus comprises an input section which inputs a user identification information; and a registration section which registers an image data in association with the user identification information.

Image processing apparatus and image processing system

A memory administrating method of administrating a memory divided into plural regions each of which consists of consecutive memory addresses, where the method includes the steps of: providing each region of the plural regions with usage information; and when releasing a release target region currently in use, determining usage of the release target region based on the usage information of at least one of neighboring regions positioned before and after the release target region.

Memory administrating method

An image processing apparatus includes: a first memory for storing 2-D image data wherein pixels are arranged in a matrix in the main scanning direction and sub-scanning direction orthogonal to each other; a second memory; and a data control section for controlling the first memory and second memory, wherein at least one of the first and second memories is constituted by a SDRAM. The data control section reads the image data from the first memory in blocks of m pixels in the main scanning direction and n pixels in the sub-scanning direction (where n and m are natural numbers), writes the read data into the second memory, and transmits data to the memory composed of the SDRAM by burst transmission and continuous supply of desired column addresses, thereby allowing the read image data to be rotated.
