Abstract: A FrontHaul Multiplexer (FHM) for relaying communications between a signal processing device and a plurality of radio devices includes a storage unit that stores a table in which device identification information of each of the plurality of radio devices is associated with beam identification information assigned to the radio device; a scheduling information reception unit that receives, from the signal processing device, scheduling information of a user terminal performing radio communications with the plurality of radio devices; a determination unit that acquires from the table the device identification information associated with the beam identification information of uplink included in the scheduling information and then determines from the acquired device identification information the radio device in charge of the user terminal; and a transmission unit that transmits to the signal processing device an uplink signal transmitted from the determined radio device.

Abstract: The controller executes the first process once and then executes the second process. The first process is a process for back-feeding the continuous body, writing information to the RFID inlet, and then forward-feeding the continuous body until the RFID medium reaches the print start position. The second process is a process for stopping printing on the RFID medium halfway and writing information to the subsequent RFID medium following the RFID medium under printing when the RFID inlet of the subsequent RFID medium reaches the position allowing the communication with the antenna, and then resuming and completing printing on the RFID medium, printing on which was stopped halfway.

Abstract: A printer that prints each printing medium having an RFID, the printer including: a radio wave strength acquisition unit that acquires radio wave strength from the RFID; and a determine unit that determines whether the RFID is normal or not on the basis of a radio wave strength obtained by the radio wave strength acquisition unit and a threshold.

Abstract: A recording medium having recording a program for causing a computer to execute processing, the processing includes calculating, for each of countries or areas, a variation rate indicating a degree of increase or decrease of an official cost officially which is calculated for each of the countries or areas with respect to a provisional cost which is calculated on the basis of cost logic for a service presented for each of the countries or areas, the cost logic including a common parameter which is defined in common to the countries or areas and an individual parameter individually which is defined for each of the countries or areas, and detecting abnormality in the common parameter, the individual parameter, a configuration of the cost logic, or a presentation mode of the service in accordance with a distribution pattern of the variation rates for the countries or areas.

Abstract: An evaluation device includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to receive an evaluation target cost-logic for a cost-logic defined with a calculation expression that calculates a cost of a service and a record including a combination of an item used in the calculation expression and a unit corresponding to the item, refer to a standard cost-logic stored in the memory in advance for each type of service, specify a difference for matching a first record of the evaluation target cost-logic with a second record of the standard cost-logic, the first record and the second record being for a same type of service, reflect the specified difference to the first record, and compare a first calculation expression of the evaluation target cost-logic using the first record and a second calculation expression of the standard cost-logic using the second record.

Abstract: An apparatus receives, from a terminal, terminal-location information indicating a location of the terminal carried by a worker, work-start information indicating a start of work designated by a work-instruction for instructing the worker to perform work, and work-end information indicating an end of work designated by the work-instruction. The apparatus transmits a control signal for causing the terminal to enter a state in which work-start information indicating a start of work designated by the work-instruction is transmittable, based on a result of comparison between the terminal-location information and work-instruction location information indicating a location at which work designated by the work-instruction is to be performed by the worker.

Abstract: The present inventors focused on certain nutritional compositions known to have activity of controlling blood glucose levels. These foods were administered to rats for long periods, and real-time PCR was used to analyze the expression of genes associated with lipid metabolism in the liver and adipose tissues. As a result, the present inventors found that the expression of the PPAR? gene is enhanced by these foods, and that this is accompanied by suppressed expression of fatty acid synthase and enhanced expression of a group of PPAR? target genes associated with fatty acid metabolism. The present inventors also confirmed the effect of these foods in enhancing the expression of PPAR? and adiponectin, and discovered that these foods have the activity of enhancing the production of PPAR and PPAR-associated factors.
