Abstract: An information processing apparatus (2000) acquires a shelf rack image (12) in which a product shelf rack on which a product is displayed is imaged. The information processing apparatus (2000) performs image analysis on the shelf rack image (12), and generates information (actual display information) relevant to a display situation of the product on a product shelf rack (20). The information processing apparatus (2000) acquires reference display information representing a reference for display of the product on the product shelf rack (20). The information processing apparatus (2000) compares the actual display information generated by performing the image analysis on the shelf rack image (12) with the acquired reference display information, and generates comparison information representing a result.

Abstract: One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a secondary battery and a method for manufacturing the same capable of maintaining high insulation between electrodes and more effectively suppressing internal short circuit. The secondary battery has a positive electrode and a negative electrode disposed to face the positive electrode. Each of the positive electrode and the negative electrode comprises a current collector and an active material layer formed on at least one surface of the current collector, and at least one of the positive electrode and the negative electrode further comprises an insulating layer formed on a surface of the active material layer. The insulating layer is a porous insulating layer containing a plurality of nonconductive particles, and when the average particle diameter of the particles is represented by ?m, a porosity index represented by an average particle diameter of the particles×porosity is 0.4 or less.

Abstract: Providing a fingerprint detection apparatus which is small in size, low in cost and high in reliability. The fingerprint detection apparatus includes a shape transfer unit having a contact face for being contacted by a finger whose fingerprint is to be detected, the shape transfer unit having a thickness which varies, when a finger contacts with a surface which serves as the contact face, in accordance with pressures which are produced by concave and convex patterns of the fingerprint of the finger, and a detection driving circuit unit for detecting a pattern of the fingerprint based on variations of the thickness of the shape transfer unit and outputting results of the detection as electric signals, and detects a fingerprint pattern in accordance with variations of the thickness of the shape transfer unit.
