Abstract: The present disclosure promotes distribution of sensor data among a plurality of business operators. A controller that an information processing system according to the present disclosure includes collects first data including a plurality of items and personal information from mobile bodies belonging to a first business operator. The controller converts the first data to second data not being usable to identify individuals. The controller provides data in a range decided based on content of a predetermined data use contract, among the second data, to a second business operator. The controller calculates a consideration for the data that is to be paid by the second business operator, based on a data use record of the second business operator.

Abstract: An image capture apparatus comprising an image sensor is disclosed. When an instruction to shoot a still image has been detected when executing a live view display, the image capture apparatus shoots the still image preferentially, while repeatedly displaying a same image during a period in which the live view display cannot be updated. The image capture apparatus reduces a luminance and/or changes a tone of the image that is repeatedly displayed.

Abstract: An image processing device includes circuitry to segment an image corresponding to input image data into a black text area including black text and a non-black text area of the image data other than the black text area, perform a first type of color correction on pixel data items in the black text area and a second type of color correction on pixel data items in the non-black text area to generate a processed image, and determine whether or not the image is a color image using the processed image. The second type of color correction is different from the first type of color correction.

Abstract: A sprinkler head employing balls for a heat-sensitive disassembling unit is provided, in which the time period from when a fusible alloy starts to melt until when the sprinkler head is activated is shortened. A sprinkler head includes a frame having a stepped portion projecting inward. The stepped portion has an upper inclined surface provided at the inner-peripheral upper edge thereof and with which balls come into contact, and a guide part provided at the inner-peripheral lower edge thereof and that allows any of the balls that is displaced from the upper inclined surface to move downward from the stepped portion. When a fusible alloy melts, the ball displaced from the upper inclined surface moves along the guide part and is quickly released to the outside of the frame. Hence, the time period from when the fusible alloy starts to melt until when the sprinkler head is activated is shortened.

Abstract: In a three-dimensional image generation apparatus, a CPU concatenates meshes of a plurality of objects which meet a predefined concatenation condition, and performs in advance vertex attribute transformation on the plurality of objects of which the meshes have been concatenated. The CPU regards as a single object, the plurality of objects on which the vertex attribute transformation has been performed, and transfers a rendering command, which instructs rendering of the plurality of objects regarded as the single object, to a GPU. The GPU renders, at a time, the plurality of objects that are regarded as the single object, upon receiving the rendering command from the CPU.

Abstract: In a drive control apparatus for an electric actuator to be activated under control of a changeover switch, the drive control apparatus including a power transistor arranged to supply therethrough the power to the electric actuator from an electric power source in response to operation of the changeover switch, a presumptive temperature of the power transistor is previously memorized and renewed in consideration with an increment of temperature change caused by consumption of the power when the electric actuator has been activated. The presumptive temperature is further renewed in consideration with a decrement of temperature change caused by lapse of time after the electric actuator has been deactivated. The power supply to the electric actuator is permitted only when the presumptive temperature is lower than a predetermined value. When the presumptive temperature becomes higher than the predetermined value, the power supply to the electric actuator is prohibited.

Abstract: In an electric control apparatus for a clutch mechanism provided therein with a reversible electric motor which is activated under control of a changeover switch to engage the clutch mechanism in its forward rotation and to disengage the clutch mechanism in its reverse rotation, a first period of time is set when the changeover switch has been operated to engage the clutch mechanism, and a second period of time is set when the changeover switch has been operated to disengage the clutch mechanism. The first period of time represents a power supply time during which the electric motor is activated to cause full engagement of the clutch mechanism. The second period of time is defined to be longer than the first period of time and represents a power supply time during which the electric motor is activated to cause full disengagement of the clutch mechanism.
