Abstract: An information processing apparatus calculates a fee for applying a second coating film including an easily removable layer to a first vehicle having a first coating film applied thereon. The information processing apparatus disclosed herein has a controller that calculates a first fee defined as a fee for applying the second coating film to the first vehicle that is for lease lower than a second fee defined as a fee for applying the second coating film to the first vehicle that is not for lease. In other words, the controller calculates the first fee by subtracting a first subtraction value from the second fee.

Abstract: A food heating device includes a conveying unit, a heating unit, and a suction unit. The conveying unit has an endless belt member which allows hot air to pass therethrough. The belt member has an outgoing side on which the food is placed, and a return side, wherein the outgoing side passes through a space between the heating unit and the suction unit, and the return side is disposed to face the outgoing side and avoid the space between the heating unit and the suction unit.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an processing system comprises a memory, a receiver, and a transmitter. The memory stores first target information indicating a first target related to a first user, second target information indicating a second target related to a second user, a first rate indicating an achievement rate in a case where the first user has achieved the first target, and a second rate indicating an achievement rate in a case where the second user has achieved the second target. The receiving unit receives first situation information of the first user and second situation information of the second user. The transmitting unit transmits display information obtained by combining a first degree of achievement of the first target derived from the first situation information, a second degree of achievement of the second target derived from the second situation information, the first rate, and the second rate.

Abstract: According to embodiments, a second control unit creates parity from information loaded into a volatile second memory. When shifting from a normal mode to a sleep mode, the second control unit stores the created parity and the information loaded in the second memory into a buffer of a non-volatile first memory, and issues a power supply shutdown request. A power supply circuit shuts down power supply to the second memory and the second control unit in response to the issued power supply shutdown request.
