Therefore, the conductive ink can enlarge the range of substrates to which the conductive ink is applied in ink jet printing and reduce energy consumption, and has a great significance for the cost control and environmental protection of manufacturers.

Some bus protocols are useful for management of peripheral devices that exist on a computer's system bus. Such bus protocols include the industry standard architecture bus (ISA), peripheral component interconnect (PCI), PCI express (PCIe), etc. The usefulness of such protocols for control messages, interrupt management and more is limited to the short distances over which the protocols operate, usually measured in inches. The use of longer distance transport protocols, such as Ethernet to encapsulate and transport bus protocol messages allows the advantages of the short distant protocols to be used to control remote devices. A master device, with a controller or processor, may be used to manage the operation of a slave device using the bus or control protocol. Such management may include button presses, indicator lights, slave device configuration, etc. The slave device may have a low cost controller or ASIC to provide real-time operational functions, such as routing.

Documents generated by different software programs can only be viewed under the programs they are generated under or compatible programs. This poses a problem in that there is a lack of organized control resulting in difficulty in locating and viewing documents in a timely manner. The present invention provides an one view software program that would be able to provide an organized control and viewing of all documents regardless which software programs they are generated under.

The cost control module 120 controls costs associated with automated access to mobile services for processes running on mobile devices 110. The module 120 performs cost control in a user-friendly manner so the user is affected by the processes as minimally as possible, but the user is also not forced to pay large fees when the processes access certain mobile services. If a program needs to access a mobile data service to complete a function, the module 120 determines what various mobile services are available, and the cost of accessing each service. The module 120 prioritizes the services according to cost. The value of granting the program access to the service is weighed against the cost of access and a determination is made regarding whether access should be allowed.
