Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives printing data and a switching unit that performs switching between a second rotation mode and a first rotation mode. The first rotation mode is a mode in which an orientation in the printing data undergoes rotation through an angle decided in accordance with an analysis of content of the printing data. The second rotation mode is a mode in which if an angle for an output size in the printing data is stored in a memory, the angle is read out from the memory, and the orientation in the printing data undergoes the rotation.

Abstract: System is built using the particle filter (PF) framework which utilizes data from round trip time (RTT) ranging or BLE signal strength to perform both (1) sensing the environment by using the scan data during measurement phase and (2) detect motion state of the user which it utilized during the motion update phase of PF. To detect the motion state of the user the temporal difference of the received ranging scans is used over which is utilized within the PF framework. The primary advantage of the described technique is that the velocity parameter of the PF can dynamically be updated based on the motion state as estimated using ranging scans.

Abstract: A cleaning device that cleans a surface of an image holding unit capable of holding an image formed using an image forming material includes: a cleaning tool that is movable along an intersecting direction intersecting with a moving direction of the image holding unit and cleans the surface of the image holding unit when placed in a contact position where the cleaning tool is in contact with the surface of the image holding unit; and a guiding unit that guides the cleaning tool so that the cleaning tool moves from a non-contact position where the cleaning tool is not in contact with the image holding unit to the contact position for cleaning the surface of the image holding unit, wherein when the image holding unit is moved, the cleaning tool placed in the contact position cleans the surface of the image holding unit.

Abstract: A cleaning device for a rotational body is provided. The cleaning device includes a scraping portion whose edge is pressed against a rotational body to which toner adheres. The scraping portion scrapes the toner off the rotational body. The cleaning device also includes a guide portion that guides a recording medium toward the rotational body, and a guide support portion that supports the guide portion. The guide support portion is disposed at a position separated from the scraping portion in a state in which the guide support portion is pressed by the guide portion that is guiding the recording medium.

Abstract: An eyeball optical measuring device includes: an optical measuring unit that irradiates an eyeball of a subject with measuring light to perform an optical measurement of the eyeball; and a light irradiation unit that irradiates the eyeball with irradiation light prior to the optical measurement by the optical measuring unit, the irradiation light having a lower energy density than an energy density of the measuring light.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing system operates an actuator to move an extruder with reference to a selected first zig-zag pattern to sparsely fill an interior region of an object by extruding a swath of thermoplastic material that has straight portions connected by angled portions. After a first pass using the first zig-zag pattern is completed, a second zig-zag pattern is used to form a complementary swath that forms rigid structure with the first swath. Use of the two patterns is alternated to sparsely fill the interior region in multiple layers of the object until a predetermined distance from a solid fill structure or surface is detected. Transition patterns are then used to increase the density of the swaths in the interior region in the next successive layers of the object until the layer is reached where a solid fill surface is formed over the swaths formed using the transition patterns.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display screen and a display controller. The display screen displays a first message corresponding to a first event occurring in the information processing apparatus. The display controller controls, in a case where a second event occurs while the first message is being displayed on the display screen, a display mode of a second message corresponding to the second event, based on a relationship between the first event and the second event.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic detection and insetting of digital streams into a 360 video. Various examples of such regions of interest to the user include, without limitation, content displayed on various electronic displays or written on electronic paper (electronic ink), content projected on various surfaces using electronic projectors, content of paper documents appearing in the 360-degree video and/or content written on white (black) boards inside the 360-degree video. For some content, such as whiteboards, paper documents or paintings in a museum, a participant (or curator) could have taken pictures of the regions, again stored digitally somewhere and available for download. These digital streams with content of interest to the user are obtained and then inset onto the 360-degree view generated from the raw 360-degree video feed, giving users the ability to view them at their native high resolution.
