  • Publication number: 20240150579
    Abstract: A molded body includes a non-foamed design layer, a foamed intermediate layer, and a non-foamed back layer, laminated in this order and formed of a first, second, and third resin compositions, respectively. The first, second, and third resin compositions contain a polyolefin as a main component. The first resin composition is an impact-resistant resin composition including a polyolefin, a polyamide, and a polyolefin-based modified elastomer having a reactive group reactive with the polyamide. A method of producing the molded body includes disposing a first support layer to serve as the design layer and a third support layer to serve as the back layer so as to be spaced apart from and face each other, interposing the second resin composition provided with foamability in a gap between the first and third support layers, and forming the intermediate layer by expanding the gap while causing the second resin composition to foam.

  • Publication number: 20240142558
    Abstract: Each of plural image forming apparatuses 2-1 to 2-N transmits a beacon signal including a device ID. Each of plural user terminal apparatuses 1-1 to 1-M determines a user ID of a user 101-i who currently uses it, receives the beacon signal transmitted from an image forming apparatus 2-j, and transmits to a mapping processing apparatus mapping information that associates the user ID and the device ID in the received beacon signal. Further, the mapping processing apparatus receives the mapping information on each user, determines a user associated by the mapping information with each image forming apparatus 2-j among the plural image forming apparatuses 2-1 to 2-M, and generates map data in which the determined user is associated with each image forming apparatus 2-j.
