A power control device includes non-volatile memory, a controller, and a logic circuit. The non-volatile memory includes a function of externally outputting a logical state of a bit stored in a specific area as a state hold signal that indicates an ON/OFF state of a device function unit before a power cutoff. The controller controls the ON/OFF state of the device function unit and also writes the ON/OFF state of the device function unit to the specific area of the non-volatile memory. The logic circuit controls power supply to the controller on the basis of a logic level of the state hold signal from the non-volatile memory.

Power control device, electrical apparatus, and image forming device

An information processing apparatus includes an execution unit that executes a program, a main storage unit that includes a first non-volatile memory which is readable and writable and is capable of retaining stored information even when no power is supplied and is provided with a first storage area which stores the program executed by the execution unit and a second storage area which stores data generated by the execution of the program by the execution unit, a connection unit that connects the execution unit and the main storage unit, and a condition storage unit that includes a second non-volatile memory which is readable and writable and is capable of retaining stored information even when no power is supplied and stores conditions which are set by the connection unit to transmit and receive the program and the data between the execution unit and the main storage unit.

Information processing apparatus, image forming apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium storing program, and information processing method

A communication control device includes: a first processing unit that converts an electrical signal received by a communication channel into digital data and outputs the digital data, and in a second operation mode in which an amount of power supplied to the communication control device is lower than in a first operation mode, outputs a notification signal upon receiving an electrical signal indicating an arrival of packet data; a clock controller that, in the second operation mode, initiates supplying a clock signal upon receiving the notification signal; and a second processing unit that (i) has a receiving unit that extracts packet data from the digital data and outputs the extracted packet data, and (ii) in the second operation mode, stops receiving packet data during a time that the clock signal is not supplied, and upon reception of the clock signal, starts receiving packet data using the received clock signal.

Communication control device and information processing apparatus

A communication control apparatus including: a count portion that counts the number of received data; and a discard portion that is provided at an upstream side of a control portion on a forwarding route of the received data, and discards received data according to a counted value by the count portion.

Dynamic control of packet filtering period

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms an image and a controller that controls the image forming unit, wherein the controller includes a first execution unit that executes a first program, a first main memory that includes a first non-volatile memory, is connected to the first execution unit, and stores a first start program, a first transmission and reception controller that is connected to the first bus, controls the transmission and reception of data, and includes a volatile memory, a second execution unit that is connected to the first execution unit and executes a second program, a second main memory that includes a second non-volatile memory, is connected to the second execution unit, and stores a second start program, and a second transmission and reception controller that is connected to the second bus, controls the transmission and reception of data, and includes a third non-volatile memory.

Image forming apparatus and information processing apparatus

A program executing apparatus, includes: a nonvolatile memory that stores a program for activating an equipment and a variable used in the program and sustains the stored program and the variable even though power is not supplied, the program and the variable being able to be read out and written into the nonvolatile memory; and an executing unit that transmits the program and the variable to the nonvolatile memory when the activation of the equipment is instructed at an initial status where the program and the variable are not stored in the nonvolatile memory, and successively executes the program using the variable stored in the nonvolatile memory, and, when the activation of the equipment is re-instructed, executes the program using the variable stored in the nonvolatile memory.

Program executing apparatus, image processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium for activating an equipment using stored variable

An image forming apparatus includes: a communication unit that receives a request that requests a reply and includes a source of the request and a destination of the request; and a controller that returns from a low electric power condition after moving into the low electric power condition of which the power consumption is low, and that controls the communication unit, wherein when the controller is in the low electric power condition, the communication unit returns the reply to the request received and detects a duplication between an identification information that identifies the source and an identification information that identifies the destination based on the request.

Image forming apparatus, communication device, computer readable medium, and communication method

An interrupt control apparatus includes: an interrupt request supply unit that supplies interrupt request information; a processing unit that performs interrupt processing based on the interrupt request information supplied by the interrupt request supply unit; and a time measuring unit that is used to measure an elapse of a predefined time period from a time point when the interrupt request supply unit starts to supply the interrupt request information, wherein: even if new interrupt cause information is stored during the time when the time measuring unit is measuring the elapse of the predefined time period, the interrupt request supply unit does not supply interrupt request information based on the new interrupt cause information to the processing unit; and after the elapsed time measured by the time measuring unit reaches the predefined time period, the interrupt request supply unit supplies the interrupt request information to the processing unit.

Interrupt control apparatus and image forming apparatus

A communication information processing device that includes a reception component, an image processing component, a memory component and a control component is provided. The reception component receives communication information through an external communication line. The image processing component performs image processing on image information. The memory component is provided for memorizing image information for image processing by the image processing component, and that memorizes image information and the communication information received by the reception component. The control component, when a pre-specified setting condition is satisfied, controls the memory component so as to delete the communication information memorized in the memory component and to memorize image information to be used by the image processing component as a priority.
