Abstract: An information provision system according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: acquire a time period in which a parking space of a subscriber of a scheduled delivery service is available; and determine, from among parking spaces for which the time period is acquired, a parking space to be used to make delivery by a business entity providing the scheduled delivery service.

Abstract: A fixing device includes an endless belt, a rotatable pressing member, a pad member inside of the belt, and a sliding member held by the pad member and sliding on an inner circumferential surface of the belt in a nip. The rotatable pressing member nips and feeds a recording material in the nip in cooperation with the belt and fixes a toner image on the recording material by applying heat and pressure. The sliding member includes a base material layer on which a plurality of projections projecting toward the rotatable pressing member are formed on a side sliding with the belt and a sliding layer provided on an outer surface of the plurality of projections. A shape of a surface of the sliding layer is a curved surface and a radius of curvature R of the curved surface satisfies 300 ?m?R?850 ?m.

Abstract: A cermet, as a base, containing a plurality of hard particles and a bonded phase between the plurality of hard particles. Each of the plurality of hard particles, when viewed in cross section, includes a first region containing Ti, N, and C, and contains a titanium carbonitride phase as a main constituent. Each of the plurality of hard particles, when viewed in cross-section, includes a second region containing one or more metal elements selected from the group consisting of V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Co, and Ni in a larger amount than the first region. The content of the one or more metal elements in the second region is 9.5 mass % or more in a total amount. A cutting tool has a length extending from a first end to a second end, and includes a holder and the insert described above.

Abstract: An insert includes a base of a cermet including hard particles and a binder phase. The base includes first and second surfaces, a cutting edge on at least a part of a ridge line of the first and second surfaces, a third surface opposite to the first surface, and a through hole from the first surface to the third surface. An inner wall constituting the through hole includes a binder-phase-riched layer having a higher content of the binder phase than an inside of the base, at least in a center part. A thickness of the binder-phase-ricked layer in the center part is larger than a thickness of the binder-phase-ricked layer in an end part of the inner wall. A cutting tool includes a holder which has a pocket located at an end, the insert located in the pocket, and a clamp inserted in the through hole of the insert.

Abstract: A coated tool of the present disclosure may include a base and a coating layer covering at least a part of the base. The base may include a hard phase of a carbonitride including Ti and a binder phase including at least one of Co and Ni and has a thermal expansion coefficient at 25 to 1000° C. of 9.0×10?6/° C. or more. The coating layer may include a TiCN layer and an Al2O3 layer positioned on the TiCN layer. The TiCN layer may have a compressive stress of 250 to 500 MPa. The Al2O3 layer may have a thickness of 2 ?m or more and a compressive stress of 450 MPa or more, and the value of the compressive stress is greater than the compressive stress of the TiCN layer.
