Abstract: To provide a technology for assisting selection of a supplier that can guarantee appropriate quality with ease, provided is an engineering level evaluation apparatus, including: a storage unit which stores: device information in which information on a part and an apparatus relating to manufacturing of the part are associated with each other; and apparatus owning information in which information identifying a supply entity of the part and the apparatus used by the supply entity are associated with each other; a part information reception section which receives an input of the information on the part; an engineering level calculation section which identifies a degree to which the apparatus relating to the manufacturing of the part received by the part information reception section is usable, and uses the degree to calculate an engineering level of each supply entity; and an output unit which outputs the supply entities in order of the engineering level.

Abstract: A supplier retrieval apparatus is offered which has a control section for accepting an input made by a buyer or a supplier from a supplier information storage portion where classification codes of parts capable of being offered by partner suppliers are stored, a computing section for extracting combinations of classification codes capable of being offered by candidate alternative suppliers in response to an input of retrieval conditions from a buyer and calculating the degrees of similarity with classification codes being capable of being offered from the partner suppliers, and an output portion for outputting the results of the calculations.

Abstract: A memory access controller is disclosed. A packet memory stores a packet and has a clock parallel outputting function of parallel-outputting first data and a clock. A read controller reads the first data. A clock transfer unit performs a clock transfer operation by writing the first data using the clock and reading second data using a system clock. A packet assembly unit receives the second data and reassembles the packet. An information memory stores a read start address where head data of the packet is stored and packet length information indicating a length of the packet. A read controller receives the read start address and the packet length information, generates a read address necessary for reading one packet, and reads the first data from the packet memory.

Abstract: An interface device for demultiplexing, from a first frame in a transport network, a plurality of second frames multiplexed into the first frame is provided. The interface device includes an extractor configured to extract a plurality of data groups to constitute the first frame, and a second frame generator configured to create the second frames based on the plurality of data groups extracted by the extractor.

Abstract: It is checked whether or not information requested in an information request is present in a message sharing/storing unit which stores information provided from an information provider and accessibility information setting an information requester which is allowed to access the information. It is also determined whether or not the information requester can access information requested in an information request message based on the accessibility information. When it is determined that the information requested in the information request message is already registered in the message sharing/storing unit and the information requester can access the information, information on a request-reply-message to the information requester is created based on the information in the message sharing/storing unit.

Abstract: In conventional cartridges, the image receiving tape is formed as a roll of long tape, which is taken up by a tape supply roll and accommodated in a case, so that the image receiving tape after printing becomes curly; when or after separating the separation tape of the image receiving tape, it tends to, for example, become inclined when glued to a predetermined place, thus making it difficult to handle.In view of this, in the cartridge K of the present invention, the recording member 16 is formed as a strip and accommodated in a second case 12 in a flat state, whereby the recording member after recording does not become curly, thereby making it easier to handle.
