The nip includes an upstream end and a downstream end in the conveyance direction, and a reference line intersects the upstream end and the downstream end of the nip. The endless belt includes a conveyance portion that is inclined toward the heating portion, in relation to the reference line associated with the nip.

Abstract: A control method for an image processing apparatus includes one or a plurality of specified pieces of image data and a plurality of evaluated templates. A plurality of layout images are generated by arranging the specified one or plurality of pieces of image data with respect to one or a plurality of slots included in each of the plurality of templates. At least one layout image out of the plurality of layout images is specified at least based on evaluations of the plurality of templates. The specified at least one layout image is output.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus displays, based on a layout result for model album data and a layout result for similar album data, a region having a difference satisfying a predetermined condition in the layout result for the similar album data, in a highlighted manner more than other regions.

Abstract: A control method for an image processing apparatus that generates a plurality of pieces of album data including a common page, which is a page common to all of the plurality of pieces of album data, and an individual page, which is a page not common to all of the plurality of pieces of album data, includes performing control in such a manner that cover image data corresponding to an image to be placed in a cover of each album is selected as individual image data or common image data.

Abstract: A cell culture device for culturing cells in a closed container kept in an aseptic state includes: a chamber including an opening/closing part capable of being opened and closed; a connection path configured to connect closed containers accommodated in the chamber to each other and each having an inside kept in an aseptic state; a driving part configured to move cells from one closed container to the other closed container via the connection path; and a container attachment/detachment device. After the cells are moved from one closed container to the other closed container, the container attachment/detachment device is configured to remove one closed container from the connection path while maintaining an aseptic state inside the other closed container and the connection path, and connect a new closed container loaded into the chamber to the connection path while maintaining an aseptic state inside the new closed container.

Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to create an album having both the contents common to all persons and the contents in accordance with each individual. One embodiment of the present disclosure is an apparatus that creates albums for each main object, which consist of a plurality of double-page spreads including a common double-page spread used in common in at least two albums and an individual double-page spread corresponding to the main object.

Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to, in a case of adding a double-page spread in editing of a plurality of albums, determine a criterion for creating the double-page spread to be added to automatically create and add the double-page spread. A program is provided which causes a computer to function as an editing unit configured to edit layouts of a plurality of albums each having an attribute of a common double-page spread common to all of the albums and an attribute of an individual double-page spread in each of the albums as double-page spread attributes. The editing unit automatically creates a double-page spread based on one or more criteria corresponding to the attributes, and adds the created double-page spread to one album among the plurality of album.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: an obtaining unit configured to obtain album information forming a plurality of albums; and an editing unit configured to, in a case of receiving an instruction to add a double-page spread to a predetermined album among the plurality of albums, add a double-page spread also to an album other than the predetermined album among the plurality of albums.
