Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a placement unit that is provided on an upper surface of a housing and on which a document is placed; an imaging unit that images the placement unit from above; and a processor configured to display guidance information indicating that the document to be imaged by the imaging unit is to be placed on the placement unit, on a display unit.

Abstract: A system for providing print device dynamic status indicator feedback includes a print device, and a status indicator feedback unit. The print device includes a print engine and one or more status monitors. The status indicator feedback unit includes a display device, a light emitting module, a processor in communication with the light emitting module, and a computer-readable medium containing programming instructions. The system may receive information corresponding to one or more current machine states of the print device from the one or more status monitors of the print device, determine a priority level associated with each of the one or more current machine states, identify a machine state associated with a highest priority level, identify a dynamic feedback pattern associated with the identified machine state. The dynamic feedback pattern includes a visual pattern. The system may and instruct the light emitting module to emit the visual pattern.

Abstract: A control device for an automatic transmission includes: a control portion that executes a neutral control to release the friction engagement element if a progressing position of the automatic transmission is selected, and a state of the vehicle satisfies a certain condition; a detection portion that detects degree of deceleration of the vehicle before the neutral control is executed; and a releasing portion for releasing the friction engagement element to be in a released or semi-released state in accordance with a shift of the automatic transmission if the degree of deceleration is greater than a predetermined degree.

Abstract: A server, having an automatic management mechanism, automatically delivers a request for license from a user to a communication window, automatically arranges information such as titles of software parts, keywords of the software parts, etc. in a hierarchical structure, performs a certification only when a user access a web page for which a certification is necessary, or automatically extracts, from a document such as a specification or a manual, an explanation of a software part to be registered, whereby the procedure for arranging images is automated, the process for certification is simplified so that the time necessary for the certification procedure is shortened, and the time necessary for a user to wait until the explanation becomes useable is shortened.
