Abstract: A document creation assistance apparatus includes a tree structure generation unit configured to analyze a learning document for system development and generate a tree structure representing separate sections of the learning document, a frequency calculation unit configured to calculate, per leaf node of the tree structure, a frequency vector of a word that appears, a question extraction unit configured to extract, according to the frequency vector, a word about which a user is to be questioned, a question presentation unit configured to present a question about the extracted word to the user and receive an answer, and a document generation unit configured to generate a document with the extracted word and the answer set in a section of the separate sections of the leaf node according to the separate sections of the tree structure.

Abstract: Provided is an oil leakage repairing material, wherein the oil leakage repairing material is a curable composition, oil absorption of the oil leakage repairing material before curing is 100% or greater, and oil absorption of the oil leakage repairing material after curing is 50% or less.

Abstract: An information processing device 1 includes a calculation unit 13 that calculates a degree of overlapping between a probability distribution of each probability value included in a row i or a column i of a semantic similarity matrix, and a probability distribution of respective probability values included in a row j or a column j (j?i) of the waveform similarity matrix as a degree of unexpectedness between an i-th word and a j-th word using the semantic similarity matrix in which elements are probability values in one row or one column of a semantic similarity between words of a plurality of words and the waveform similarity matrix in which elements are probability values in one row or one column of a waveform similarity between time-series data of time-series data related to the words.

Abstract: A device includes: a data set including multiple sets in which two pieces of time-series data are respectively recorded; an analysis unit that obtains evaluation values representing a relationship between the two pieces by different analysis methods for each set; a combination extraction unit that extracts combinations of the sets having different trends in change in the evaluation values associated with the analysis methods; a grouping unit that classifies the analysis methods according to the evaluation values for each combination, and records results associated with the sets; an inquiry unit that presents the time-series data of each set to a user, and inquires which sets have similar time-series data; a scoring unit that adds a score of the analysis method belonging to the group having a better evaluation value for the set determined to be more similar; and a selection unit that repeats each process and selects an analysis method.

Abstract: There is provided an imaging apparatus including: a determination unit configured to determine presence or absence of an object in front of an imaging lens on the basis of first sensing data; and a decision unit configured to decide a behavior related to imaging processing through the imaging lens, on the basis of a result of the determination by the determination unit.

Abstract: A flexible drive member for pushing and pulling an article includes a toothed belt section and ridge members which are arranged on the opposite surface of the toothed belt section along the length direction of the toothed belt section. The ridge members abut adjacent ones when the toothed belt section extends straight. The ridge members include respective hold portions which hold an elongated member, such as a hose and a wire. The abutment of adjacent ridge members enables transmission of pushing force. A fluid-operated device moving apparatus utilizes the flexible drive member which is arranged to have a T-shaped transverse cross-section corresponding to a T-shaped groove in which the flexible drive member can be guided. A fluid-operated device, such as a hydraulically operated clamping device, is coupled to one end of the flexible drive member.
