Abstract: The present disclosure discloses methods, systems and scanners for scanning document with varying light intensity. The method includes receiving a bound document positioned on an upper surface of a platen, for scanning, wherein the bound document, when opened for scanning, includes a flat region and a curved region. A distance between the bound document positioned on the platen and a contact image sensor (CIS) is continuously monitored and measured, to detect the curved region. Upon detection, a control command is generated to vary the intensity of the light to be emitted from a light source. Then, light with varying intensity is emitted for illuminating the curved region of the bound document. Thereafter, the light reflected from the bound document is received for capturing an image of the bound document. Finally, a digital version of the bound document is generated without any dark strip or without any distortion.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor programmed to: detect a request submitted from a terminal to an external server providing a service; and upon a determination that the detected request is submitted from the terminal located in a base, transmit a validation request for validating a certificate of the terminal to a CRL distribution server in which the certificate of the terminal is invalid.

Abstract: A person identification device includes: an extractor that, from an image containing a person, extracts a first characteristic quantity related to a face of the person and a second characteristic quantity related to a body of the person; and an identifying unit that identifies the person based on a third characteristic quantity calculated by assigning a weight to each of the first characteristic quantity and the second characteristic quantity extracted.

Abstract: A cap is positioned to contact a printhead when the printhead is not ejecting liquid ink. The cap and the printhead create a sealed space adjacent printhead nozzles when contacting each other. A flexible blade is positioned to contact the printhead when the printhead is not in contact with the cap. The flexible blade is adapted to fold over to spread a liquid solution on the nozzles in a first direction, and the flexible blade is adapted to remove excess amounts of the liquid solution from the nozzles in a second direction. A humidifier is connected to the cap and adapted to supply a moisture form of the liquid solution to the sealed space. A moisture sensor is connected to the cap. The humidifier is adapted to vary supply of the moisture to the sealed space based on the amount of moisture detected by the moisture sensor.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory, a reception unit, an acquisition unit, and a presentation unit. The memory stores, as history information, first information including attribute information of a user and service contents desired by the user, second information including service contents suggested to the service contents and a message prompting use of the service contents, and success/failure information indicating whether or not a service has been used and a successful result has been obtained. The reception unit receives the first information. The acquisition unit searches the history information for the first information with a similarity with respect to the received first information that reaches a threshold and acquires the second information corresponding to the found first information. The presentation unit extracts a word, based on the number of appearance times and the success/failure information, from the message included in the acquired second information and presents the word.

The specifying section specifies print jobs satisfying a search condition designated to select a print job. The decision section decides an enlargement/reduction ratio on a time axis so that when events related to print jobs satisfying the search condition are displayed in a display area arranged in a time series, a start time of a first event and an end time of a last event are contained in the display area. The display controller controls the display of a line of events related to print jobs satisfying the search condition, enlarged or reduced by the decided enlargement/reduction ratio, in the display area.

Abstract: An extruder head has an arrangement of multiple nozzles in the faceplate that avoids aligning the multiple nozzles at angular orientations from the 0°-180° axis and 90°-270° axis intersection at the center of the faceplate. The extruder head includes a housing having a faceplate with a plurality of nozzles that are equally spaced from one another when the nozzles are projected onto a first axis in a plane of the faceplate and the nozzles are equally spaced from one another when projected onto a second axis in the plane of the faceplate that is orthogonal to the first axis. Movement of the extruder head along any angular path from the intersection of the first axis and the second axis in the plane of the faceplate enables at least one nozzle in the plurality of nozzles to not be aligned with any other nozzle.
