Abstract: An information processing apparatus that is capable of preventing lowering of operability when printing is performed. In a client terminal, an OS acquires capability information related to printing capability from a server that provides a cloud print service or a printer, and a controller displays a screen. The capability information has a hierarchical structure including at least one item name and a plurality of attribute values belonging to the item name. The controller can perform first display for collectively displaying the item name and the attribute values and second display for displaying the plurality of attribute values in a state sorted into groups of attribute values relevant to each other.

Abstract: To provide a sheet former capable of suitably regulating the thickness of a sheet forming body in a width direction in response to factors changing with time. A sheet former includes at least one vessel which stores slurry as a raw material, a wire cylinder immersed in the slurry inside the vessel and making sheets from solid components in the slurry while being rotated, and a sheet-forming amount regulator which regulates an amount of the solid components for making sheets by the wire cylinder in a width direction in accordance with a thickness of a sheet forming body in the approximately width direction formed for making sheets by the wire cylinder.

Abstract: A network system includes: a plurality of transmission devices configured to be coupled to each other via a first network; and a control monitor configured to be coupled to each of the plurality of transmission devices via a second network, wherein a first transmission device including a first transmitter, among the plurality of transmission devices includes a first processor configured to search for a signal area that is empty for checking connectivity in the first network, and transmit, by using the first transmitter, log information to a second transmission device including a second transmitter and a second processor among the plurality of transmission devices via the signal area in the first network when abnormality is detected in communication with the control monitor, and the second processor is configured to transmit, by using the second transmitter, the transmitted log information to the control monitor via the second network.

Abstract: A first interface board includes a first signal processing unit that performs a predetermined process on a signal. A second interface board includes a second signal processing unit that performs the predetermined process on a signal. When no failure occurs in both interface boards, a switching control unit selects the first interface board. When a failure occurs in the first interface board, the switching control unit selects the second interface board. When there is no failure in both the interface boards and the first interface board does not satisfy a predetermined degradation condition, the electrical power supply control unit supplies electrical power to the first interface board and prohibits the supply of electrical power to the second interface board. When there is no failure in both the interface boards but the predetermined degradation condition is satisfied, the electrical power supply control unit supplies electrical power to both the interface boards.

Abstract: A wire spool for winding therearound a tying wire has a cylindrical wire winding body. A pair of flanges are integrally formed on both axial ends of the wire winding body. One of the flanges has formed on an outer periphery thereof a pair of notches in close proximity to each other. Between those sides which form one of the notches, that side which lies closer to the other of the notches is formed so as to expand an opening of said one of the notches. Between those sides which form the other of the notches, that side which lies farther from said one of the notches is provided with an overhung portion so as to narrow an opening of the other of the notches.
