  • Publication number: 20230412562
    Abstract: A filtering system restricts access to the Internet by User A and User B supervised by User A. The filtering system includes a first terminal to be used by User A, and a second terminal to be used by User B. Access to the Internet by the first terminal is restricted by a first filter. Access to the Internet by the second terminal is restricted by a second filter. The first terminal acquires restriction information indicating access restriction by the second filter, and displays information indicating whether or not the second user can access a predetermined website, based on the acquired restriction information.

  • Patent number: 11390568
    Abstract: To provide a ceramic composite and a production method therefor allowing ease of processing to be improved and fracture toughness to be improved simultaneously. The invention includes the steps of: preparing at least a liquid-form resin and a ceramic sintered body which has been sintered at a temperature which is 700° C. to 100° C. less than a sintering temperature at which a theoretical density is obtained; immersing the ceramic sintered body in the liquid-form resin, causing the liquid-form resin to infiltrate the ceramic sintered body; and hardening the infiltrated liquid-form resin to obtain a ceramic composite having a relative density of between 40% and 90% by causing the resin to infiltrate. Gaps where no resin has infiltrated are formed in the ceramic composite.

  • Publication number: 20220078307
    Abstract: An apparatus includes: a communicator that communicates with another apparatus; and a controller that processes a job, wherein the apparatus, further, is communicable with a storage that stores device identification information and user identification information in association with each other, and the controller acquires, from the other apparatus, an execution request for a guest user's job including the device identification information, acquires the device identification information from the execution request, accesses the storage to search for the user identification information associated with the device identification information, and processes the guest user's job as a registered user's job on the basis of a fact that the user identification information associated with the device identification information is acquired from the storage.

  • Patent number: 9477048
    Abstract: A sleeve for optical communication and method for manufacture for the sleeve for optical communication, for which withdrawal force for ferrules, which are generally used in the technical field of optical communication, or connection loss between ferrules is a predetermined value, and for which manufacturing steps are reduced so as to allow reduction of manufacturing cost. The invention is made by press-molding ceramic feedstock, which after cold isostatic pressing and sintering are performed thereto, and is made so that an inner circumferential surface, of a through-hole for inserting a ferrule formed on the length-direction of the axis, has a sintered state.
