Abstract: A information processing system according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: identify, when a discount condition is satisfied in a case where two or more unregistered products and one or more registered products that were registered by an operation by a customer using a portable terminal are purchased in a set, a combination of the unregistered products including the two or more unregistered products; and notify the portable terminal of the identified combination of the unregistered products.

Abstract: A liquid pressure rotary machine in which a rotation delay of a retainer with respect to a cylinder block is reduced and contact of pistons placed between the retainer and the cylinder block with peripheral members is suppressed is provided. A piston pump includes a rotation shaft, a cylinder block, piston heads, piston rods, a retainer, a swash plate, and a tilt adjustment mechanism. When the tilt adjustment mechanism swings the swash plate, a discharge amount of the piston pump becomes variable. The retainer to be rotated together with the piston heads and the piston rods is supported by a retainer bushing provided in the rotation shaft. By engaging ball pins of the retainer bushing with spherical surface pin grooves of the retainer, the retainer and the retainer bushing are integrally rotatable about the center axis of the rotation shaft and the retainer is swung about the spherical surface center.

Abstract: A hydraulic rotary machine configured to reduce sliding resistance of a reciprocating piston and to suppress a reduction in volumetric efficiency corresponding to an amount of leakage of hydraulic oil. A piston pump includes a rotor shaft, a cylinder block, a piston head, a piston rod, a retainer, a swash plate, and a tilt regulation mechanism. When the tilt regulation mechanism rocks the swash plate, the amount of discharge from the piston pump is variably changed. The retainer which rotates with both the piston head and the piston rod is supported by a retainer bush provided to the rotor shaft. The retainer sphere section of the retainer and the retainer bush sphere section of the retainer bush have spherical shapes having the same curvature. During the regulation of tilt, the retainer rocks while the retainer bush sphere section is in sliding contact with the retainer bush.

Abstract: Provided is an electrically-driven flow rate control valve capable of controlling a flow rate of fluid while application of a high pressure of the fluid to a sub valve body connected to an electric motor is suppressed. A flow rate control valve includes a casing, an elevation drive device, and a main valve body. When the sub valve body moves upward by the elevation drive device, oil in a back pressure chamber is discharged. Moreover, the oil in a first oil chamber flows into the back pressure chamber while the flow rate of the oil is regulated. A balance among pressures in the back pressure chamber, the first oil chamber, and the second oil chamber changes, and the main valve body opens. When the main valve body is closed, a direct application of the pressure of the back pressure chamber to the sub valve body is blocked.

Abstract: Provided is an electrically-driven flow rate control valve capable of controlling a flow rate of a fluid flowing between two inlet/outlet ports, restraining a high pressure of the fluid from being applied to a sub valve body connected to an electric motor. The flow rate control valve has a casing, a raising/lowering drive device, a supply-switching valve, a main valve body, a valve-closing spring. When the electric motor of the raising/lowering drive device moves the sub valve body upward, oil of a back pressure chamber is discharged from a discharge oil passage through a sub valve body communication port and a sub valve body oil passage to open the main valve body. When the main valve body is closed, a pressure of the back pressure chamber is inhibited from being directly applied to a lower end face of the sub valve body.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus secures data from third parties in event of power loss by utilizing a backup power supply to provide power while data is erased from memory. The data is stored in a nonvolatile memory. A first voltage supply unit supplies voltage to the memory, and a second voltage unit supplies voltage to the memory when the first voltage supply unit is incapable of supplying voltage to the memory. When the first voltage supply unit becomes incapable of supplying voltage to the memory, the memory is controlled to erase the data stored therein using a selected one of a plurality of erasing processes depending on the status of processing of the data.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus and a data erasing method therefor which are capable of suppressing the capacity of a backup power supply to be used (operating time) and eliminating the disadvantage that a third party steals a look at data to thereby improve security. Data is input, and predetermined processing is performed on the input data. The data is stored in a nonvolatile memory such as a HD. A first voltage supply unit supplies voltage to the memory, and a second voltage unit supplies voltage to the memory when the first voltage supply unit is incapable of supplying voltage to the memory. When the first voltage supply unit becomes incapable of supplying voltage to the memory, the memory is controlled to erase the data stored therein using a selected one of a plurality of erasing processes depending on the status of processing of the data.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image forming apparatus that can restore a defective area on a storage medium, and can appropriately and immediately notify the user of image data which image data written in the defective area have been destroyed. To accomplish this, when the detection of a defective sector has been started, and a defective sector is detected, a CPU is notified of the logic block address of the defective sector, and a replacement prepared in a spare area is allocated to restore the defective sector. When image data is present in the defective sector, an image data file name pertinent to the logic block address of the defective sector is stored. And when the detection process has been completed up to the last sector, an email is transmitted to the box user pertinent to the logic block address for the defective sector.
