Abstract: A printer includes a carriage including a first head and a second head at least partially overlapping in a sub-scanning direction, a first wiper for wiping the first head, and a second wiper for wiping the second head. The printer moves the first wiper to a first contact position where the first wiper is configured to contact the first head, and moves the second wiper to a second non-contact position where the second wiper is not configured to contact the second head. After moving the first wiper and the second wiper, the printer relatively moves the carriage to cause the first head to pass the first wiper at the first contact position.

Abstract: Visibility of relevance of detailed configurations is improved while deterioration of the visibility of a general configuration between nodes is suppressed. A node coordinate calculation process calculates, upon calculation of deployment coordinates of each node, a degree of importance of an infrastructure resource and a degree of importance of an application, and weights the distance between the application node and the infrastructure node with the reciprocal of the degree of importance of the infrastructure node. Then, the node coordinate calculation process determines deployment of the application node such that the application node is deployed in the proximity of a comparatively important infrastructure node, and determines deployment of the application node on the basis of the degrees of importance of the applications such that a comparatively important application is deployed closely to the infrastructure node.

Abstract: A lifespan diagnosis device for a motion guidance device including: a stress calculating means which calculates stresses during movement for each of virtual segments, the stresses during movement being stresses that occur in each segment during a movement of the moving member; a counting means which counts, for each of the segments, on the basis of the amount of displacement, the number of occurrences of the stresses during movement which repetitively occur with waving during a movement of the moving member along the track; and a diagnostic means which calculates, for each of the segments, a lifespan exhaustion ratio on the basis of magnitudes of the stresses during movement and the number of occurrences of the stresses during movement, and which diagnoses the lifespan of the motion guidance device on the basis of the calculated lifespan exhaustion ratios of the respective segments.

Abstract: A variable capacity turbocharger includes a variable nozzle unit having a shroud-side ring in which a first bearing hole is provided, a hub-side ring in which a second bearing hole is provided, a nozzle flow path formed between the shroud-side ring and the hub-side ring, and a nozzle vane disposed in the nozzle flow path and supported by both the first bearing hole and the second bearing hole. A turbine housing having a scroll flow path is connected to the nozzle flow path, in which the first bearing hole penetrates the shroud-side ring and communicates with the scroll flow path through a gap between the shroud-side ring and the turbine housing. Additionally, an opening of the first bearing hole on the gap side is smaller than an opening of the first bearing hole on the nozzle flow path side.
