Abstract: An information creation apparatus includes a processor configured to, in a case where priorities of power supply are set to power supply targets, set upper limits of power storage remaining amounts of the power supply targets such that the upper limit of the power storage remaining amount of a power supply target with a lower priority is set to a value larger than a reference value.

Abstract: Electrodes, particularly electrochemically active electrodes, may benefit from one or more pretreatment cycles in which the electrode is substantially oxidized, reduced or otherwise exhausted prior to use in an end use application, for example active agent delivery via iontophoresis. For instance, electrode lifetime may be advantageously increased, even when used to delivery relatively high currents or used at high current densities. Such may be necessary to delivery therapeutically effect dosage regimes, for instance of oxycodone. Use of a nonwoven fibrous substrate printed with a sacrificial ink may be advantageous relative to other substrates. Use of certain Ag/AgCl inks may be advantageous over other Ag/AgCl inks.

Abstract: A multiprocessor system from which redundancy relating to data assurance at the time of data communication between processing sections is removed. At the time of data communication between a network processing section (101) and a real-time processing section (201), exclusive control of a shared memory is performed by means of only an operation to output a transmission completion interrupt signal from the network processing section (101) on the transmitting side to the real-time processing section (201) on the receiving side and an operation to detect the transmission completion interrupt input by the real-time processing section (201) on the receiving side, and data assurance against data change and data loss is made by means of only TCP/IP protocol stack software (213).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a suspended cylindrical belt conveyor system designed to convey materials in a totally sealed endless cylindrical belt conveyor suspended from trolley hangers running on an endless guide rail installed along a transportation route.

Abstract: A conveyor system, adapted to move a cylindrical belt carrying therein a material, particularly a granular or powdered material, the cylindrical belt being suspended by hangers from wire ropes, further comprising driving means adapted to drive a set of pulleys and wheels, and belt disengageable means for disengaging the cylindrical belt from said hangers at loading and unloading stations in the path of travel thereof. The belt and the rope are driven in synchronously interlocking relation so that both the belt and the rope are equally loaded, thereby avoiding displacement in position between them during operation.
