Abstract: [Object] To provide a transducer capable of providing a high degree of freedom in deformation and suppressing a risk of breakage and a method of producing the transducer. [Solving Means] In order to achieve the above-described object, a transducer according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an elastomer. The elastomer extends along a predetermined axis direction, and has both end portions in which at least two electrodes having followability are disposed on both sides around a predetermined axis in the predetermined axis direction, the both end portions being elongated to be folded in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined axis. This makes it possible to provide a high degree of freedom in deformation and to suppress a risk of breakage.

Abstract: A multifunction apparatus having a plurality of functions, including a copier function, retrieves user identification information from a memory card carried by the user within a detection area, obtains panel angle information that is set for the authenticated user based on the retrieved identification information, and adjusts, by a panel controller, a panel angle of an adjustable panel for the authenticated user according to the information, the panel being provided for inputting various operational instructions.

Abstract: A destination for a job completion notification that is preset by a user is stored. When the user enters a detection area, an electromagnetic wave signal is transmitted to a memory card that is carried by the user so that the user identification information is scanned. When the job is completed, the job completion notification is transmitted to the stored destination for the job completion notification. Therefore, it is possible to transmit the job completion notification to a desired address even when the user instructs a job, such as copying job or facsimile memory transmission job, by directly setting a document on a multifunction apparatus.
