Abstract: An information processing system includes circuitry that acquires input information input to a terminal apparatus, the terminal apparatus operating a message exchange program, determines, based on the input information being acquired, whether or not a condition as a trigger for calling an information processing service is satisfied, changes, based on the determination that the condition as the trigger for calling the information processing service is satisfied, a status of the message exchange program into a status that exchanges a message with the information processing service, acquires, based on the message to the information processing service, electronic information used for information processing, and requests an information apparatus to execute the information processing using the electronic information being acquired.

Abstract: A power control device includes a power unit generating power to be supplied to a target device, from external power, an operating unit receiving operation of power on and power off by a user, a nonvolatile memory unit storing information, and a power control unit turning off, when the operating unit has received power-off operation, power supply to the target device in a predetermined sequence for the target device and records the fact that power has been turned off normally in the nonvolatile memory unit. When external power supply is started, the power control unit turns on the power supply to the target device when having determined that external power supply was stopped due to a certain cause, or does not turn on the power supply to the target device when having determined that external power supply was stopped due to a cause other than the certain cause.

Abstract: A memory system includes a dual inline memory module (DIMM) connector to which a DIMM is connected, which is selected from a Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) standard DIMM in compliance with JEDEC standards and a customized DIMM not in compliance with JEDEC standard, and a memory controller to determine whether the DIMM being connected is the JEDEC standard DIMM or the customized DIMM to generate a determination result, and to control access to the DIMM based on the determination result and SPD information obtained from a SPD of the DIMM being connected.

Abstract: A power supply device is disclosed that is able to satisfy requirements of a device in connection and has high efficiency. The power supply device includes a first power supply; a voltage step-up unit that steps up an output voltage of the first power supply; a voltage step-down unit that steps down an output voltage of the voltage step-up unit; and a load that is driven to operate by an output voltage of the voltage step-down unit. The voltage step-up unit steps up the output voltage of the first power supply to a lower limit of an operating voltage of the voltage step-down unit.

Abstract: A generating unit generates second model-specific data defining a performance of a target machine based on first model-specific data. An irreversible unit realizes an irreversible state in which a transition is possible from a second state to a first state, but not from the first state to the second state. A setting unit sets a state of the irreversible unit based on a result of comparison between the first model-specific data with the second model specific data by a comparing unit. A performance determining unit determines the performance of the target machine based on the first model-specific data, the second model-specific data, and the state of the irreversible unit.
