Abstract: An ink refill container includes a container main body including an ink storage chamber, an ink outlet-forming portion provided on an end portion of the container main body forming an ink outlet that allows the ink to flow out from the ink storage chamber, and a valve provided in the ink outlet-forming portion configured to openably seal the ink outlet, in which the ink outlet-forming portion includes a positioning portion on an outer side of the ink outlet-forming portion. in which the positioning portion is closer to the container main body than the valve is to the container main body in a central axis direction of the ink outlet, and in which the positioning portion partially abuts against an ink tank when the valve is opened for refilling the ink to the ink tank, to thereby position the valve relative to the ink tank.

Abstract: Sensing devices in an installation state are flexibly managed and the sensing devices are controlled appropriately. The sensing devices each include a sensor, a selection control unit, and a notification unit. The sensor measures the ambient environment to generate a measurement signal. The selection control unit controls the selection state of the sensing device in response to the measurement signal from the sensor. The notification unit issues a notification that the sensing device has been selected in a case where the selection state indicates that the sensing device has been selected.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to systems, materials, and methods for ore tracking. In particular, the invention relates to metamaterial RFID tags that are chip-free and comprise RF metamaterials to produce unique spectral features when illuminated with microwave radiation. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, each of the metamaterial RFID tags includes one or more tag units that have a particular spectral response representing a one-bit code. As a result, each tag may comprise a specific code that is “assembled” from a plurality of tag units in a modular fashion. One or more embodiments of the present invention further includes a blast-tolerant package for one or more of the metamaterial RFID tags that enables such tags to survive blasting, crushing, and/or other forces inherent in mine operations.

Abstract: A server stores multiple configuration data. A tester hardware is configured to be capable of changing at least a part of its functions according to configuration data stored in rewritable nonvolatile memory, to supply a power supply voltage to a DUT, to transmit a signal to the DUT, and to receive a signal from the DUT. An information technology equipment is configured such that, (i) when the test system is set up, the information technology equipment acquires the configuration data from the server according to the user's input, and writes the configuration data to the nonvolatile memory. Furthermore, the information technology equipment is configured such that, (ii) when the DUT is tested, the information technology equipment executes a test program so as to control the tester hardware, and to process data acquired by the tester hardware.

Abstract: Provided is a molten metal discharge nozzle capable of suppressing turbulence in a molten metal stream passing through an inner bore thereof, with a simple structure. A cross-sectional shape of a wall surface of the inner bore, taken along an axis of the inner bore, comprises a part or an entirety of a curved line expressed by the following formula: log(r(z))=(1/n)×log((Hc+L)/(Hc+z))+log(r(L)) (1), where: 6?n?1.

Abstract: A storage unit stores therein setting information and history information on a communication established by the setting information. When an information receiving unit receives new setting information, a judging unit judges whether the setting information stored in the storage unit reached a predetermined value. A determining unit compares the history information corresponding to the setting information, and determines a priority for each setting information based on a result of comparison. A deleting unit deletes setting information having the lowest priority from the storage unit, and a storing unit stores the new setting information in the storage unit.
