Abstract: To provide a technology that prevents a rental for a defrauding purpose by specifying a borrower through biometric authentication and conducting the authentication based on a usage past record of the borrower. Biometric information of a borrower is received from the terminal, a blacklist recorded with biometric information of beware-of persons is referred to, authentication as to whether the biometric information of the borrower matches with the blacklist or not is done, a past record database recoded with the biometric information of the borrowers having usage past records is referred to, there is made the authentication as to whether the biometric information of the borrower who does not match with the blacklist matches with the past record database or not, the terminal is notified of approval or non-approval for a rental operation on the basis of results of the authentication, the past record database is updated if the rental operation is approved.

Abstract: After a roll supply carriage housing rolls in a light-shielded case is coupled to a film manufacturing apparatus, shutters are opened, and a roll retainer shaft and a roll loading shaft are connected to each other. A motor in a roll transferring apparatus is energized to transfer one of the rolls into the roll transferring apparatus. Then, a rotary table is turned to supply the transferred roll to a given region in the film manufacturing apparatus.

Abstract: An information processing technology of the present invention is capable of speeding up a process that a prospective buyer of a used car determines an intention of purchasing the car. A car sale information providing system of the present invention includes a car information storage unit (13, 14) stored with mappings of car information containing a name, a type, a year model etc of a car to car inspection information obtained as a result of inspecting the car concerned. A car information input device (27, 28) is provided for inputting the car information and getting the car information stored in the car information storage unit (13, 14). A search unit (12) is provided for outputting an input screen for searching the car information stored in the car information storage unit (13, 14), and searching based on conditions inputted.

Abstract: Left and right lamps or rear are connected to a stop lamp switch or a turn signal switch by left and right relays. When the turn signal switch is made ON to left and an intermittent signal is inputted from a flasher unit, a left relay is made ON by an output of a left integrating circuit and a left lamp is flashed in accordance with the intermittent signal. During the time period, an NAND circuit for inputting the intermittent signal is made H. Since a right relay is made OFF, when the stop lamp switch is made ON, a right lamp is continuously lighted. Thereafter, when the turn signal switch is made OFF, the NAND circuit is made L and the left relay is made OFF by rapidly discharging the left integrating circuit. Thereby, also the left lamp is shifted to light continuously without delay.
