Abstract: An information processing device has: a definition unit for storing definition information about a predetermined service; an input unit that inputs information regarding a target person who intends to use the predetermined service as an argument of the definition information regarding the predetermined service held in the definition unit; a determination unit for determining whether or not to apply the predetermined service on the basis of the information that is about the subject and input from the input unit, and the definition information that is about the predetermined service and stored in the definition unit; an information generation unit for generating determination result information that is calculated on the basis of the determination result determined by the determination unit about whether to apply the service; and an output unit for outputting the determination result information generated by the information generation unit.

Abstract: Provided is a training equipment, comprising a fixed part, a movable part that is movable by a user relative to the fixed part in a first direction corresponding to a correct training pattern and a second direction corresponding to a deviation from the correct training pattern, and an indicator which notifies the user any deviation from the correct training pattern by using a visual, acoustic, or tactile signal. Optionally, the load or the resistance to the movement of the moveable part in the first direction may be increased with the increase in the deviation from the correct training pattern. Thereby, the user can develop highly efficient muscle power with the correct form and distribution of power because he is notified of any deviation from a correct form or a correct distribution of power substantially simultaneously in such a manner as may be considered as a feedback process.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a sheet perforating apparatus comprising a sheet transfer mechanism; a perforating section for boring at least one filing hole in a sheet being transferred; and a sticking section for sticking a reinforcing pad on the sheet about the periphery of the filing hole. The perforating section comprises a punch cutter for boring the filing hole in the sheet transferred.

Abstract: A solid strong acid catalyst useful for hydrocarbon reactions, especially for the skeletal isomerization of paraffinic hydrocarbons is provided by supporting sulfate (SO.sub.4) and at least one member selected from Group VIII metals on a support consisting of hydroxides and oxides of Group IV metals and Group III metals and mixtures thereof and then calcining and stabilizing the catalyst.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a sheet cutting apparatus suitable for use in pre-cutting off an edge portion of a sheet of a large area. The apparatus comprises a sheet transfer mechanism; a first rotating shaft rotated through the torque of a motor; a turnable frame attached angularly movably along a circular orbit to the first rotating shaft; a second rotating shaft supported rotatably by the turnable frame so as to extend in a radial direction of the circular orbit of the turnable frame and meshed with the first rotating shaft to rotate therewith; a cutter blade and a backing blade, both, rotated by the torque of the second rotating shaft; and a turn control section for angularly moving reciprocally the turnable frame between an initial position at which the surface of revolution of the cutter blade and backing blade extends in a direction transferring a sheet and a separated position at which the cutter blade and backing blade turn aside from the transfer path of the sheet.

Abstract: A sheet folding apparatus comprises a feed roller mechanism consisting of a pair of roller adapted to feed a sheet clamped therebetween, a working roller mechanism mounted on the outlet side of the feed roller mechanism consisting of a central roller, a press roller in press contact with one side of the central roller, and a shift press roller in press contact with the other side of the central roller, and a shift guide mechanism mounted between the feed roller mechanism and the working roller mechanism. The shift press roller of the working roller mechanism is held for shifting movement between a first or access position where it is opposed to the press roller and a second or shifted position where it is in press contact with the other side of the central roller, along an outer peripheral surface of the central roller in a condition remaining in press contact with the central roller.

Abstract: A magnification changing device for use in a copying machine, capable of effecting a scale-up and-down magnification of a manuscript. The device has a first reflecting mirror system adapted to be moved at a constant speed and arranged to receive the optical image from an object, and a second reflecting mirror system adapted to receive the light reflected by the first reflecting mirror system and to move in the same direction as the first reflecting mirror system at a speed which is a half that of the movement of the first reflecting mirror system.
