Abstract: An information processing device includes circuitry to receive, from a terminal, call location identification information identifying a location at which a request for a call notification is made with the terminal, identify a notification destination based on the call location identification information. The notification destination is a destination of the call notification. The circuitry transmits voice data to the notification destination as notification content of the call notification.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to acquire image data related to a user who uses a piece of equipment and indicating a state of the user. The circuitry stores, in a memory, setting information in which an item of time zone including one or more time zones for which the image data is captured, an item of determination result including one or more determination results in each of the one or more time zones, and an item of notification details being set according to one of the one or more time zones and one of the one or more determination results, are associated with each other. The circuitry determines whether to transmit a notification indicating the state of the user based on the image data and the setting information and, when determining to transmit the notification, determines the notification details based on the image data and the setting information.

Abstract: A towel dispenser which includes a mechanism for eliminating towel sidewise displacement, a device for keeping a front lid open, and a locking device.

Abstract: The towel dispenser adapted to store and supply a towel of undeterminate length. At least one of the unused and used portions of the towel is stored in the form of a roll on a shaft. The towel dispenser includes a pair of side walls each having at least one elongated hole. The portion of the side wall defining the inner peripheral edge of the elongated hole is obliquely bent towards each respective other side wall so as to form a tab projecting towards the other side wall. Each end of the shaft is rotatably and slidably received in the respective elongated hole defined by the respective tab, in such a manner that each end of the shaft does not project beyond the plane of the associated side wall.

Abstract: A duster of an improved type for dust capturing efficiency, comprising a cylindrical stem with a continuous spiral thread extending along a portion thereof, a grip engaged with said stem, and fabric materials comprising a band of fiber or fibril bundles which are made of a ductile synthetic resin film or foil which has been split into fibers or fibrils and crimped. The bundles are arranged in a meandering manner. One edge of the band comprises loose edges while the other edge is held together by one or more strings. The secured edge is disposed within the thread with the ends of said material being engaged, respectively, by a supporting member provided at the tip of said stem and an engaging member provided at the root portion of the thread.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a duster and the duster manufactured therefrom are described, the duster head being made of strands of a blend polymer film of a mixture of isotactic polypropylene and polyethylene, which has been processed to be in an electret state, so that dust collecting and holding efficiency are improved and gross bulk, and texture of the head of the duster are highly improved with rich resiliency and a convenient usage being provided.

Abstract: An aromatic odorant emitting device comprising a mainbody case and a cover case, said device including an odorant, and an evaporator immersed with the aromatic odorant, and a fan unit which blows the air to the evaporator so as to control the evaporation rate of the odorant in response to the temperature and the illumination intensity in the room, with the aid of a thermosensor and a photosensor, so that a constant aromatic odorant evaporation is provided.

Abstract: The wall-mounted dispenser for liquid soap has a separable reservoir with an outlet valve. The dispenser further includes a main body with a second outlet valve. When the reservoir is mounted to the main body, a metering chamber is defined between the two outlet valves. The dispensing function is experienced by pushing in a plunger which temporarily decreases the chamber volume and forces the main body outlet valve to open temporarily, thus dispensing a charge of liquid soap. As the plunger is released, a spring return pushes the plunger out, decreasing pressure in the metering chamber, which is equalized as the first outlet valve temporarily opens, admitting a next charge of liquid soap from the reservoir to the metering chamber. The reservoir is replaced by pushing in a resilient release, but the resilient release is preferably normally provided with a stop which must first be moved out of the way.
