Abstract: According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus has a first interface connectable to an external server, a second interface connectable to a display, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive order data for dinning orders via the first and second interface and cause the display to display order data in a first area or a second area depending on whether the order data is first-type order data or second-type order data. The first and second areas are separate areas. The first-type order data is for dining orders of a first type, such as delivery orders, and the second-type order data is for dining orders of a second type, such as in-store dining orders.

Abstract: The order management apparatus includes units for acquisition, management, extraction, generation, and transmission. The acquisition unit acquires, from the order reception system, first order reception data containing a plurality of items of data relating to an order for a product. The extraction unit extracts a data element relating to a predetermined item from among data elements included in the first order reception data acquired by the acquisition unit. The generation unit generates second order reception data including the data element extracted by the extraction unit. If the first order reception data acquired by the acquisition unit includes timing information that designates a future time point as the provision timing of the product, the transmission unit waits until a time point determined according to the provision timing indicated by the timing information, and transmits the second order reception data generated by the generation unit to the shop system.

Abstract: An order management device is connectable to a store station device and order receiving servers operated by an order receiving agent for sending customer orders to a store. A processor of the order management device acquires first order data in different formats from the plurality of order receiving servers then generates corresponding second order data in a format matching a data format used by the store station device. The second order data is then transmitted to the store station device via a communication interface. The processor also sends a preparation completion notice to an order receiving server after receiving a notice of completion of preparation work from the store station device.

The peripheral wall is formed of a plurality of wall elements, each of said wall elements is arranged substantially regularly and formed integrally with said base plate so as to extend downward from the base plate. The smoke-detecting unit further includes an insect net which has been fixed to the outer surfaces of the wall elements in the shaping process of the smoke-detecting unit so as to be fit around the outer periphery of the peripheral wall.

Abstract: A temperature detecting device having rapid temperature sensing characteristics and with a fully protected temperature sensitive element. A transistor pellet potted in a resin casing having at least one thin wall is mounted in a metal protective tube in thermal contact provided through a small amount of filler material of high thermal conductivity. A heat collector is disposed around the protective metal tube in close thermal contact therewith. The edges of the heat collector are held in position against ribs formed on an insulating casing by engaging members of a protective ring which fit into corresponding notches formed in the upper portion of the ribs. Protrusions formed on the protective member prevent its rotation and removal hence making the device essentially tamperproof.
