Abstract: An electronic apparatus operated by a sales clerk includes a display, a camera configured to capture an image of a code displayed on a screen of a portable registration apparatus operated by a customer in a store, the code corresponding to one or more commodities to be purchased and check data indicating whether each of said one or more commodities needs to be checked by the sales clerk before being checked out, and a processor configured to, when the image of the code is captured by the camera, acquire information indicating said one or more commodities to be purchased and the check data using the code, and control the display to display a screen showing one or more commodities that need to be checked by the sales clerk based on the acquired information.

Abstract: A biological information detection apparatus includes: a camera; a frame image analysis unit that detects a region including pixels having a predetermined skin color, as a skin color region, from a frame image taken using the camera, and detects a signal corresponding to a light wavelength from an image signal of each pixel included in the skin color region, as skin color wavelength data; a skin color wavelength difference detection unit that calculates an average value of differences of the skin color wavelength data from predetermined reference wavelength data for the pixels included in the skin color region, and acquires the average value as average wavelength difference data; a pulse wave signal detection unit that detects a signal obtained by smoothing the average wavelength difference data detected in time series, as a pulse wave signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a stimulus presentation system which determines a mental state and changes presentation contents of a problem based on the determined mental state. The system determines the mental state by measuring gaze and cerebral function of a user, and changes presentation contents of a problem based on the determined mental state.

Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to implementation of the atomic write feature in the storage system setting. Example implementations may utilize flash memory to facilitate or to form atomic write commands to improve flash memory performance and endurance. Several protocols involving the cache unit of the storage system may include managing a status of the storage system so that data corresponding to an atomic write command are stored in a cache unit, with old data maintained in the storage system until the write data corresponding to an atomic write command is properly received.

Abstract: A document classification system and method reflects operator's intention in a result of classification of document so that an accurate result of classification can be achieved. The document to be classifies has contents contains a plurality of items. At least one of the items contained in the document is designated. The document data is converted into converted data so that the converted data contains only data corresponding to the designated item. Classification of the document is done by using the converted data.

Abstract: A document creation assistance device stores a first language document and its translation into a second language. When replacing a word (selected word) with another word (replacement word) in either of the first or second languages, all the words having the same meaning as the selected word are replaced with the replacement word in the same language, and the words corresponding to the replaced words are also automatically replaced with the translation of the replacement word in the other language.

Abstract: An inventive tire chain mounting device includes a pair of spacedly opposite arms, each arm having a lug and a clamping surface, the lug capable of engaging a tire chain and the clamping surface being provided on one end of the arm and capable of being contact with a side of a tire; a plurality of resilient bars connecting the arms, the bars sliding along one another so as to adjust a spacing between the clamping surface and exerting a resilient force reducing the spacing; and a member preventing the bars from sliding along one another. A method for mounting the inventive tire chain mounting device onto a tire is disclosed. The tire chain mounting device can quickly mount tire chains onto an automotive tire.
