Abstract: A mobile body authentication apparatus capable of preventing an autonomously movable mobile body from illegally moving without permission is provided. A mobile body authentication apparatus includes at least one memory configured to store instructions, and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: acquire, from an autonomously movable mobile body, remote identification information, which is information for managing a remote operation of the mobile body, position information indicating the current position of the mobile body, time information that indicates the current time in the mobile body, and authentication information; and execute collation based on the whole of part of the information; and output the result of collation.

Abstract: A system and method for conducting a computerized search, including: receiving a user query, a perspective, and a term associated with the perspective; conducting a first search based on the user query; expanding the term to a list; analyzing the first search results based on the list; modifying the user query based on the analysis of the first search results; and conducting a second search based on the modified user query. Alternatively, a system and method for conducting a computerized search, including: receiving a user query; conducting a computerized search based on the user query to obtain first results; analyzing a knowledge base; generating a weighted context term vector based on the knowledge base, wherein the weighted context term vector includes context words; matching the first results with the weighted context term vector; and listing second results based on the match.

Abstract: An angle finder tool for use with embroidery machines, wherein the tool enables accurate angle measurements to be determined so that the embroidery machine may properly orient the design onto the fabric during the embroidery process. The angle finder tool includes a lower component comprising an angle degree chart and an upper component connected to the lower component, wherein the upper component comprises a crosshair. The upper component rotates independently of the lower component. The angle finder tool is placed within and parallel to an embroidery hoop and centered on a target orientation indicator on the fabric. The crosshair on the upper component is rotated to align with an arrow on the target indicator. The angle indicated by aligning the crosshair and target indicator arrow is supplied to an embroidery machine, which uses the angle to orient a design template in relation to the fabric.
