Communication apparatus, control method, and program for connecting at least two types of wireless communication units according to an operative state of an access point

Communication apparatus and a control method relating communication with a target apparatus by using wireless communication method

To store image data scanned by an image scanning unit in a way that corresponds to each page group, an image processing system scans an original and generates image data, and stores the image data in a storage unit separately from image data previously stored in the storage unit if a scan command is given via a first command input unit, and stores the image data in the storage unit by associating the image data with image data previously stored in the storage unit if a scan command is given via a second command input unit.

A porous Si layer is formed on a single-crystal Si substrate, and then a p-type Si layer, p-type Si layer and n-type Si layer which all make up a solar cell layer. After a protective film is made on the n-type Si layer, the rear surface of the single-crystal Si substrate is bonded to a tool, and another tool is bonded to the front surface of the protective film. Theo, the tools are pulled in opposite directions to mechanically rupture the porous Si layer and to separate the solar cell layer from the single-crystal substrate. The solar cell layer is subsequently sandwiched between two plastic substrates to make a flexible thin-film solar cell.

Method for separating a device-forming layer from a base body

A data management apparatus capable of managing data stored in a storage unit includes a designation unit, setting, search, management units, and a first display control unit. The setting unit sets, based on predetermined date information included in designated data, information on a date to data to be stored and is other than the designated data. The search unit searches data, from among stored data, based on a date or period search condition. The management unit manages data to add, from among the searched data, data of known predetermined date information to a first result list and data to which the date information has been set to a second result list. The first display control unit causes a display such that each displayed data is accompanied with an identifier for distinguishing whether the data is searched out from among the data of the first or second result list.

Image data management apparatus and method, image data search apparatus and method, and recording medium

Provided are an image forming apparatus and a method of controlling the same, an information processing apparatus and an information processing method, and a program for implementing these methods, in which the fact that a setting is to be changed can be reported to a host apparatus through a simple arrangement. The image forming apparatus for attaining this object includes storage unit for storing the latest set value of the apparatus, transmitting unit for transmitting the latest set value, which has been stored in the storage unit, to the host apparatus in response to a request from the host apparatus, and updating unit for receiving a print setting from the host apparatus and updating the latest set value stored in the storage unit.

Image forming apparatus and method of controlling same, and information processing apparatus and method

An apparatus capable of managing image data includes a display unit configured to display image data whose predetermined date is known among image data stored in a storage unit, and a setting unit configured to set a date to another image data using the image data displayed on the display unit.

In this invention, when a printer driver uses data obtained by referring to a table, the printer driver searches a first table of two, first and second tables to obtain a search condition of the second table. The printer driver searches the second table using the obtained search condition to obtain required data. When another search condition is added, the search condition is added to the first able, and data corresponding to the added search condition is added to the second table.

Print control apparatus and method

A plurality of solar batteries are provided between a first substrate and a second substrate. The first substrate and the second substrate are formed of, for example, a paper or a non-woven cloth, which is a material including a natural fiber, cellulose, as the main component. Papers and silicon have relatively small difference in coefficient of thermal expansion so that warp caused by changes in the temperature is suppressed. Also, papers are light, easy to be processed and spontaneously decomposed so that disposing becomes easy. The first substrate is preferable to be transparent or semitransparent and preferable to be formed of cellophane paper, glassine paper, parchment paper, or Japanese paper. Oil may be included in the material. The second substrate is preferable to be opaque. A waterproof film may be formed on the first substrate and the second substrate.

Method of manufacturing semiconductor device

The present invention relates to a recording apparatus which has recording sheet discriminating means for discriminating a kind of the recording sheet to be supplied to the recording means, a printer driver for controlling a recording operation of the recording means on the basis of recording sheet an information of conforming to the kind of the recording sheet discriminated by the recording sheet discriminating means, judging means for judging whether the recording sheet of which the kind has been discriminated by the recording sheet discriminating means is included in of a preset specific kind recording sheet, and recording sheet information inputting means for inputting the information of the recording sheet to be supplied to the recording means when it is judged by the judging means that the recording sheet of which the kind has been discriminated is not included in the specific kind of recording sheets.

Recording apparatus

A first device unit is formed by adhering a backside support substrate to a backside of a first device layer. A second device unit is formed by adhering a surface support substrate to a surface of a second device layer. A thin film device comprising the first and the second device layers is manufactured by adhering the first and the second device units to face the first device layer and the second device layer each other. The first and the second device layers are individually formed in the manufacturing process of the first and the second device units. This has no limitation in a method of forming the device layer unlike the case where forming a plurality of device layers by stacking in order.
