Abstract:
A data carrier apparatus includes: a first determination unit configured to determine a duty ratio of each pulse of a pulse signal that is received; a second determination unit configured to determine a period of each pulse of the pulse signal; and a third determination unit configured to determine a value of data being carried by the pulse signal based on a determination result of the first determination unit and a determination result of the second determination unit.

Claim (Index 17):
A communication system of an image forming apparatus, comprising:\n a data carrier drive apparatus provided in a body of the image forming apparatus; and a data carrier apparatus provided in a replaceable part of the image forming apparatus, wherein the data carrier drive apparatus and the data carrier apparatus are capable of communicating with each other through two communication lines, the data carrier drive apparatus comprises: a selection unit configured to select a period and a duty ratio based on a value of data that is to be transmitted, when transmitting data to the data carrier apparatus; a generation unit configured to generate a first pulse signal that includes a pulse having the period and the duty ratio selected by the selection unit; and an application unit configured to apply a potential difference that depends on the first pulse signal generated by the generation unit to the two communication lines, and the data carrier apparatus comprises: an output unit configured to output a second pulse signal based on the potential difference between the two communication lines; a first determination unit configured to determine a duty ratio of each pulse of the second pulse signal; a second determination unit configured to determine a period of each pulse of the second pulse signal; and a third determination unit configured to determine a value of data transmitted by the data carrier apparatus based on a determination result of the first determination unit and a determination result of the second determination unit.
