  • Publication number: 20200394023
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for generating and managing Web applications. Embodiments include receiving organized data and analyzing the organized data to determine one or more data types contained in the organized data. Based on the one or more data types, suggested widgets are determined, including determining whether a particular data type can be split into two or more data types and suggesting widgets for each split data type. The suggested widgets are presented to a user, and in response to user input accepting the suggested widgets, a Web application comprising the suggested widgets is generated.

  • BAG
    Publication number: 20200198841
    Abstract: To suppress damage such as the formation of holes and wrinkles in laminated bodies constituting a bag. A bag having a storage section includes: laminated bodies that include a sealant film positioned on an inner surface of the bag and at least one plastic film positioned on an outer surface side of the sealant film; and a seal section where inner surfaces of one pair of laminated bodies are joined together. The seal section has an outer edge seal part that is positioned along an outer edge of the bag, and a steam-releasing seal part that is positioned closer to a center point side of the storage section than the outer edge seal part and peels off due to an increase in pressure in the storage section. The steam-releasing seal part peels off when the pressure in the storage section is 130 kPa or lower.

  • Patent number: 10176512
    Abstract: An approach is provided for processing electronic data across network devices. One or more text fields represented in image data that represents an electronic document are compared to data from a first external system. If the one or more text fields represented in the image data do not match the data from the first external system, then the one or more text fields represented in the image data are designated for special processing. If the one or more text fields represented in the image data match the data from the first external system, then the electronic document is designated as verified. The approach also includes the ability for a user to supplement image data with additional data, such as codes used by business organizations, and for automatic correction of errors in text fields using data maintained by the first external system.

  • Publication number: 20180370713
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lidded container which, even when a flange portion of the container warps during microwave heating, can prevent a contact between the flange portion and a lid and allows steam to pass from a steam escape mechanism. The lidded container is provided with a container having an opening and a lid which covers the opening and is joined to the container. The container is provided with a bottom portion, a side portion standing upright from the bottom portion, and a flange portion which is continuously connected to an upper portion of the side portion and includes a first plane. A circumferential seal portion is formed between the lid and the first plane of the flange portion. The seal portion is provided with a main seal portion and a protruding seal portion protruding inward with respect to the main seal portion.

  • Patent number: 10007210
    Abstract: A developing device includes a developer accommodating container, a developer carrier, an exhaust path, a capturing member, and a closing member. The developer accommodating container accommodates a developer. The developer carrier is disposed in an opening of the developer accommodating container to be rotated while facing an image carrier, and carries the developer. The exhaust path exhausts an air in the developer accommodating container to an outside. The capturing member captures a toner in the exhausted air passing through the exhaust path. The closing member includes a base end portion and a tip end portion. The base end portion is held by the developer accommodating container. The tip end portion is sandwiched between the developer accommodating container and the developer carried on the developer carrier, downstream of the opening in a rotation direction of the developer carrier. The closing member closes a gap.

  • Publication number: 20180024978
    Abstract: An approach is provided for processing structured printed documents using parsing templates. A parsing template defines a plurality of data fields and attributes for the data fields. As described in more detail hereinafter, examples of data field attributes include, without limitation, name, type, location, logical entities, constraints, and additional data. Electronic document data is processed using a parsing template to generate processed electronic document data by, for each data field from a plurality of data fields in the parsing template, identifying, in the electronic document data, data that corresponds to the data field, and processing the identified data in the electronic document data based upon the data field attributes for the data field.
