Abstract: The present invention relates to a motor pump, a pump unit, and a method of balancing an impeller of the motor pump. The motor pump includes an impeller (1), a rotor (2), a stator (3), and a bearing (5). The rotor (2) and the bearing (5) are arranged in a suction side region (Ra) of the impeller (1).

Abstract: A system that reduces the possibility of damaging items. A route searching system includes a type-of-item obtaining part that obtains a type of an item transported by a vehicle; a destination obtaining part that obtains a destination; and a route searching part that searches for a route that reaches the destination by selecting, based on the type of an item, a road with a low possibility of damaging the item on a priority basis over a road with a high possibility of damaging the item.

Abstract: Operation management systems, methods, and programs obtain a travel plan including a scheduled point and a scheduled time associated with the scheduled point, and obtain a travel track record including a travel point of a vehicle and a travel time associated with the travel point. The systems, methods, and programs obtain, when a delay has occurred in the travel plan, a cause of the delay based on the travel track record and the travel plan, and output the obtained cause of the delay.

Abstract: An in-vehicle device 1 regularly transmits to an information distribution server 2 an acquisition request that includes an own vehicle position and a facility search condition, and acquires facility information matching the condition around the vehicle. The in-vehicle device 1 controls the number of displays of the facility information on the basis of the information in an in-vehicle sensor group 12 when displaying the acquired facility information on a map.

Abstract: An evaluation information posting device determines a rest state of a vehicle on the basis of rest information, determines a facility at which the vehicle has stopped off by using position information showing a rest position of the vehicle, map information including facility information about facilities located in an area surrounding the position shown by this position information, and a keyword about a facility at the rest position of the vehicle, and, by using both stop-off facility information about the facility which is a result of the determination, and a keyword about an evaluation which is provided for this facility, generates evaluation information about the stop-off facility and posts this evaluation information to an evaluation information managing server.

Abstract: A water supply apparatus is provided to meet demands for energy saving by controlling the rotational speed of a pump (1), for example, so as to lower the rotational speed in the time zone when water is not used much while avoiding the time zone when water is used in large quantities. The water supply apparatus includes the pump (1) configured to pressurize and deliver water, a frequency converter configured to supply electric power to the pump (1) to operate the pump (1) at a variable speed, and a controller (15) configured to send operating signals to the frequency converter so as to operate the pump (1) either at a first operation or at a second operation with less power consumption than the first operation. The controller (15) is configured to judge whether the operation of the pump (1) should be shifted from the first operation to the second operation based on an operational state of the pump (1).

Abstract: An advertisement information distribution device 2 receives an advertisement information distribution request including manufacturer information from a client terminal via a communicator 23, and distributes advertisement information. Because the distribution destination terminal information manager 24 manages the manufacturer information about the client terminal to which the advertisement information is distributed, the number of distributions of advertisement information can be counted for each manufacturer, and the advertising cost can be shared out among manufacturers according to the number of distributions to the manufacturers and monetary merits can be provided for the manufacturers.

Abstract: An information presentation device includes a device side communicator that communicates with an information distribution server that retrieves information corresponding to distribution request information from information to be distributed and performs a selection on the information retrieved thereby and distributes information selected thereby, an information inputter that inputs both the contents of a request for information that is desired to be distributed, and points specifying both a reward for provision of information corresponding to this request contents and a description of the selection, a request information setter that generates the distribution request information to which both the request contents and the points are set, and transmits the distribution request information to the information distribution server via the communicator, and an information presenter that receives, via the communicator, the information which the information distribution server selects according to the description.

Abstract: An information processing device includes: an operation region acquisition unit 14 that performs image analysis to a screen of a touch panel display 13 on which a screen of a portable terminal 2 is displayed by a display control unit 12, and acquires operation region information for identifying a touch operation region corresponding to the screen of the terminal 2; a touch operation information acquisition unit 16 that detects a touch operation to the display 13 and acquires position information of touch operation detected based on the region information; and a coordinate transformation unit 17 that transforms, based on the region information, position information of the touch operation acquired by the unit 16 into position information corresponding to the screen of the terminal 2, thereby remotely operating the terminal 2 by an operation/control information communication unit 18 sending the transformed position information to the terminal 2 as remote operation information.
