  • Publication number: 20190332332
    Abstract: In a maintenance system, a controller of an information processing device is configured to perform receiving; storing; determining; and transmitting. The receiving receives a set of input information including device information, time information, and setting information via an input interface. The device information specifies a target image forming device. The time information specifies access time to access the target image forming device. The setting information relates to control data to be set in the target image forming device. The storing stores correlation information correlating the device information with the time information and setting information in a memory. The determining determines whether the access time has come. The transmitting transmits, in response to determining that the access time has come, the control data to the target image forming device via a network interface. The target image forming device is specified by the device information correlated by the correlation information.

  • Publication number: 20190301866
    Abstract: Within a housing portion in which a recessed portion is formed, a circuit board is arranged on the bottom surface of the recessed portion, through a first connecting member. An acceleration sensor is stacked on the circuit board, through a second connecting member. Hence, sections that function as three or more springs, i.e., an anti-vibration portion, the first connecting member, and the second connecting member, are situated between an angular velocity sensor and the acceleration sensor. For this reason, transmission of vibration of the vibrating element in the angular velocity sensor to the acceleration sensor can be restricted, and reduction in the detection accuracy of the acceleration sensor can be restricted.

  • Patent number: 10365201
    Abstract: A CPU of an analysis apparatus performs a fluid analysis and derives transient distribution information that represents an accumulation distribution of a particulate layer on an inflow-side inner circumferential surface of a honeycomb structure at a time point after a short time interval ?t (step S130). The CPU then repeatedly performs a fluid analysis by taking into account the transient distribution information derived previous time to repeatedly derive transient distribution information (steps S130 to S150) and then derives post-transient-analysis distribution information that represents the accumulation distribution of the particulate layer at a later time point (step S160).
