There is provided a master communication apparatus. A selection unit selects a representative slave from a plurality of slave communication apparatuses. A notification unit notifies the plurality of slave communication apparatuses of the representative slave. Each of the plurality of slave communication apparatuses is configured to, if it is not the representative slave, transmit state information that indicates a state of the slave communication apparatus to the representative slave. A reception unit receives the state information of the plurality of the slave communication apparatuses from the representative slave. A transmission unit transmits a control signal for controlling the plurality of slave communication apparatuses based on the state information.

Apparatus and method for controlling a plurality of slave communication apparatuses based on state information

A communication apparatus includes a memory that stores instructions and a processor that executes the instructions to communicate with an external apparatus. In a case where an operation mode of a communication apparatus is a predetermined operation mode for transferring predetermined transfer target data, communication is enabled by a first wireless communication interface. In a case where the operation mode of the communication apparatus is not the predetermined operation mode and the external apparatus has been registered in advance, communication is enabled by a second wireless communication interface. In a case where the operation mode of the communication apparatus is not the predetermined operation mode and the external apparatus has not been registered in advance, processing is enabled for registering, using the second wireless communication interface, the external apparatus.

PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process for roughening both sides of a copper plate by forming a protrusion with a fine bump shape on the both sides of the copper plate, and then to provide a process for a deterioration of an electroplating solution for plating copper to become hard to progress therein. MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS: First of all, there is designed to be arranged electrodes () as a similar pole for therebetween to be opposed to each other in an electroplating copper solution, and then to be arranged a copper plateat therebetween. And then at first there becomes to be performed an anodic treatment for generating a copper fine particles on both surfaces of the copper plate, by performing an electrolytic process with the copper plateas a positive electrode and the electrodesas negative electrodes. And then thereafter there becomes to be performed a cathodic treatment, by performing an electroplating of copper with the copper plateas a negative electrode and the electrodesas positive electrodes, for the copper fine particles to be fixed onto the surfaces of the copper plate. Furthermore, there becomes to be formed the above mentioned protrusion with the fine bump shape thereon, by performing the anodic treatment and then the cathodic treatment as not less than one cycle thereof.

Production method and device of surface roughened copper plate, and surface roughened copper plate

A communication apparatus selects at least one function out of a plurality of functions, searches for an external apparatus, identifies a service provided by the external apparatus searched for by the search unit, acquires functional information about a function of the external apparatus searched for by the search unit, and determines whether the searched-for external apparatus has a function corresponding to the function selected by the selection unit based on functional information acquired by the acquisition unit, wherein the determination by the determination unit is executed before participating in a wireless network, and performs control not to participate in a wireless network for communicating with the searched-for external apparatus if the searched-for external apparatus is determined not to have a function corresponding to the function selected by the selection unit.

Communication apparatus, control method therefor, and program

A master flash apparatus which emits light when an image capturing device outputs a synchronous light emission command after the image capturing device outputs a first light emission start command. The apparatus can perform wireless communication with a slave flash apparatus which emits light in response to a second light emission start command received from the master flash apparatus. A transmission unit transmits the second light emission start command to the slave flash apparatus when a predetermined time has elapsed after the image capturing device outputs the first light emission start command. A measurement unit measures a time from the output of the first light emission start command from the image capturing device to the output of the synchronous light emission command from the image capturing device. An adjustment unit adjusts the predetermined time based on the time measured by the measurement unit.

Master flash apparatus and method

A control apparatus that is connected to at least one image capturing apparatus by wireless communication transmits, by multicast or broadcast via the wireless communication, a command for instructing to start a prescribed operation to each image capturing apparatus, in response to detection of an operation for instructing to start the prescribed operation, and transmits, by unicast via the wireless communication, a command for instructing to end the prescribed operation to each image capturing apparatus, in response to detection of the operation for instructing to end the prescribed operation. Then, the control apparatus confirms a response to transmission of the command for instructing to end the prescribed operation, and retransmits, by unicast, the command to end the prescribed operation to each image capturing apparatus whose response is not confirmed.

Control apparatus, control system, command transmission method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An imaging apparatus receives a signal regularly transmitted from a control apparatus, determines whether or not the imaging apparatus is disconnected from the network based on a status of the reception of the signal, transmits a request for participation in the network to the control apparatus according to a determination that the imaging apparatus is disconnected from the network to notify the control apparatus that the imaging apparatus is disconnected from the network, and participates in the network after the control apparatus receives the request for participation.

Imaging apparatus, control apparatus, control method therefor, and recording medium

A process is provided for roughening both sides of a copper plate by forming protrusions with fine bump shapes on both sides of the copper plate in an electroplating solution for plating copper while reducing deterioration of the electroplating solution. Opposed pairs of negative electrodes () and positive electrodes () are provided in an electroplating copper solution (), and a copper plate () is arranged between the pair of negative electrodes (). An anodic treatment for generating copper fine particles on both surfaces of the copper plate () is carried out by performing an electrolytic process for three to ten minutes with the copper plate () as a positive electrode between the negative electrodes (). Then a cathodic treatment is carried out by moving the copper plate () between positive electrodes () and performing an electroplating of copper for three to ten minutes with the copper plate () as a negative electrode for fixing the copper fine particles onto the surfaces of the copper plate (). The cycle of anodic and cathodic treatment may be performed more than one time.

Method for producing a surface roughened copper plate

An image sensing apparatus that is capable of communicating with an external apparatus, comprising: an image sensing unit configured to sense an object and generate image data; an identification data generation unit configured to generate, from the image data, identification data for identifying a feature of the object; a storage unit configured to store the identification data; a display unit configured to display the image data; a communication unit configured to receive identification data for identifying a feature of an object captured by another image sensing apparatus during communication with the other image sensing apparatus; a determination unit configured to determine the image capture status of each object based on the identification data received by the communication unit; and a control unit configured to control the display unit to identifiably display the image capture status of each object determined by the determination unit.
