  • Patent number: 9800757
    Abstract: A print system includes a client device, plural mobile printers, and a server device. The client device issues a print instruction in accordance with a user operation. The plural mobile printers each receive a print instruction and move to a destination indicated by the print instruction so as to perform printing at the destination. The server device selects a mobile printer which will perform printing based on a print instruction issued by the client device, in accordance with selection standards including judgement standards for judging whether or not it is necessary to distribute a print instruction over plural mobile printers or to transfer a print instruction from one mobile printer to another mobile printer.

  • Patent number: 9787876
    Abstract: A service providing system includes a client apparatus that gives an instruction to provide a service according to an operation of the client apparatus by a user, a mobile apparatus that receives the instruction to provide the service, moves to the user who has performed the operation, performs authentication of the user, and provides the service to the user, and a stationary apparatus that is placed on a fixed position and provides a service. In a case where the authentication of the user fails although the mobile apparatus receives the instruction to provide the service and moves to the user who has performed the operation, the mobile apparatus stops the providing of the service and entrusts the stationary apparatus with the providing of the service.

  • Publication number: 20170114226
    Abstract: A versatile silicone resin reflective substrate which exhibits high reflectance of high luminance light from an LED light source over a wide wavelength from short wavelengths of approximately 340-500 nm, which include wavelengths from 380-400 nm near lower limit of the visible region, to longer wavelength in the infra-red region. The silicone resin reflective substrate has a reflective layer which contains a white inorganic filler powder dispersed in a three-dimensional cross linked silicone resin, the inorganic filler powder having a high reflective index than the silicone resin. The reflective layer is formed on a support body as a film, a solid, or a sheet. The silicone resin reflective substrate can be easily formed as a wiring substrate, a packaging case or the like, and can be manufactured at low cost and a high rate of production.

  • Patent number: 9519748
    Abstract: A design assistance device for a steering device and a method of assisting a steering device design which assists a design of a steering device including an intermediate shaft by using existing components of a tube yoke and a shaft yoke. A design assistance device 1 for a steering device displays a select button on a display device when a fitting length of the combination of a candidate component of the tube yoke and a candidate component of the shaft yoke satisfies a condition of a fitting length. When the select button is selected, a control device 4 may receive information in which a drawing selected by a designer is determined.
