Abstract: There is provided a device management system suitable
for accurately calculating an average consumption quantity
of toner and the like per print sheet and thereby accurately
calculating a printing cost depending on use environments.
A network printer 200 detects a remaining quantity of toner
and the like, a total number of printed sheets and a total
number of activations, and send status information including
the detection results to a printer management server 100. When
receiving the status information, the printer management
server 100 registers the received status information with a
status information registration table 400, and calculates an
average consumption quantity by calculating the total
consumption quantity of toner and the like, the total number
of printed sheets and the total number of activations within
an appointed period based on the status information
registration table 400, multiplying the total number of
activations by the consumption-quantity-during-activation
calculation coefficient k 1  and dividing the multiplication
result added to the total consumption quantity of toner and
the like by the total number of printed sheets.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système informatique comprenant un cache d'annuaire et de processeur intégré. Les entrées de l'annuaire sont maintenues pour filtrer les commandes d'essai et le trafic de réponse pour certaines transactions cohérentes. Plutôt que de stocker les entrées de l'annuaire dans une mémoire d'annuaire spécialisée, les entrées de l'annuaire peuvent être stockées dans des emplacements désignés d'un sous-système de mémoire cache (52), tels qu'un cache L2, associé à un noyau processeur (50). Dans un mode de réalisation précis, les entrées de l'annuaire sont stockées dans un sous-système de mémoire cache pour fournir des indications de lignes (ou de blocs) pouvant être mises en mémoire cache dans des états de cohérence modifiés, exclusifs, ou possédés. L'absence d'entrée d'annuaire pour une ligne donnée peut signifier que la ligne est mise en mémoire cache dans un état partagé ou invalide.

Abstract: The attitude of an image sensing apparatus is
detected, and optimum filter processing is selected
based on the result of detection for extracting feature
information of a subject, thus processing is simplified.
While a shutter button is half-depressed, it is
determined whether the image sensing apparatus is
performing landscape image sensing or portrait image
sensing based on attitude information obtained from an
attitude sensor (S105). Then based on the result of
determination, one of two filter processings in
different scan directions is performed thereby a
person's face in an image is detected. Then image
sensing conditions at the next timing are determined
based on the area of the person's face in the image.
When the shutter button is full-depressed, image
sensing is performed in accordance with the latest
image sensing conditions, and an obtained image is
stored into a storage medium such as a memory card.

Abstract: A semiconductor package for power transistors and the like has a heat sink flange with at least one die mounted thereon, a non-ceramic based window frame mounted thereon adjacent the die, and a plurality of leads mounted on the window frame and electrically coupled to the die by wire bonds. The non-ceramic based window frame is thermally matched to copper or other highly conductive material typically used for the flange, to facilitate assembly of the semiconductor package at high temperatures. The non-ceramic based window frame is flexible and is thermally matched to the highly conductive flange so as to expand and contract at a rate similar to the flange to prevent failure during assembly of the semiconductor package. The non-ceramic based material of the window frame includes a matrix of principally organic material, such as polytetrafluorethylene, filled with fibers which may be glass fibers or ceramic fibers. The matrix is clad in a metal such as copper or aluminum, and may be coated with nickel and gold to facilitate bonding of the window frame to the flange and the leads with gold/germanium solder. The window frame may also be bonded to the flange using epoxy. Cladding of the window frame may be performed by laminating copper or other cladding metal on the matrix in a sufficient thickness so as to form the flange. The flange may be provided with a pedestal extending upwardly from an upper surface at a central portion thereof to define a die attach area and forming a barrier to brazing material used to join the window frame to the flange.
