Abstract: Provided are a seat belt retractor and a seat belt device capable of suppressing an increase in frictional resistance when a pretensioner is steadily driven and increasing the resistance to be applied to a webbing when energy is absorbed. A seat belt retractor includes a guide member facing at least a part of an outer circumferential surface of a locking base and disposed along an opening portion. The guide member is configured not to come into contact with the locking base until a pretensioner is shifted to a steady driving state, is configured to come into contact with the locking base when the pretensioner is steadily driven, and is configured to allow contact between lock teeth and the locking base when subjected to a predetermined load after the pretensioner is shifted to the steady driving state.

Abstract: An image forming device includes a print unit, a reception data analysis unit that makes the print unit execute a first process when an operation mode of the image forming device is a previously provided standard operation mode, a control unit, and an additional module processing unit that executes an additional module and thereby makes the print unit execute a second process when the operation mode is an additional operation mode. The control unit sets the operation mode to the standard operation mode in a case where the additional module has not been installed at a time of startup of the image forming device and sets the operation mode to the additional operation mode in a case where the additional module has been installed at the time of startup of the image forming device.

Abstract: An object is to provide an information communication apparatus able to reliably transmit information to an intended site on a network and a program of the same. Before transmitting the information input from a key input portion (102) from a communication portion (101), it is judged based on registered content of an access list (107) whether or not the transmission of this input information is permitted. When this input information matches with the information included in the access list (107), and a URL address connected with the information matching with the input portion in the access list (107) differs from the address of the transmission destination of the input information, a warning screen is displayed in a display portion (105).
