Abstract: Provided is a system including: a printing apparatus; an information processing apparatus; and a server system. The printing apparatus outputs identification information on the printing apparatus. The information processing apparatus transmits the identification information obtained from the printing apparatus based on acceptance of an instruction for receiving a first service, and performs display control of the information processing apparatus. The server system executes processing for confirmation as to whether or not the printing apparatus identified by the identification information transmitted from the information processing apparatus is registered for a second service, and provides data for displaying an item for the second service in a case where the printing apparatus is not registered for the second service.

Abstract: A communication system and a control method are provided, which are capable of suppressing wasteful transmission of notification information. To this end, in a case where predetermined information is not received despite that notification information has been transmitted, this problem is solved by providing an information processing apparatus having a control unit configured to perform control so that the notification information is not transmitted anew.

Abstract: A first diffusion region of a first conductivity type and a second diffusion region of a second conductivity type are formed next to each other in a semiconductor substrate. Drain and source contact regions of the first conductivity type are formed in the first and second diffusion region, respectively. A trench insulating region is formed in the first diffusion region between the drain and source contact regions. A third diffusion region of the second conductivity type is formed next to a side wall of the trench insulating region on the source contact region side in the first diffusion region between the source contact region and the trench insulating region. A gate electrode is formed on the semiconductor substrate through a gate insulating film to cover an area from an end portion of the source contact region to at least a part of a top surface of the trench insulating region.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a mouse model for allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, and a dermatitis mouse model with impaired skin-barrier function. The present inventors found out that a mouse that has been caused to completely lose the function of expressing profilaggrin protein and filaggrin protein by entirely or partially disrupting the endogenous gene encoding filaggrin by a genetic mutation such as deletion or replacement, can be used as a mouse model for allergic diseases or atopic dermatitis wherein the skin-barrier function has been impaired.

Abstract: This invention allows the user to select files to be printed from arbitrary folders, easily designate a folder selected in the past, and confirm data files in the folder, thereby improving the operability of selecting a file to be printed. For this purpose, the display window has a folder view display area for displaying the tree structure of folders, and a file view display area for displaying a list of image data files stored in a folder selected in the folder view display area. When a new folder is selected in the folder view display area, a path representing the location position of the folder is added to the folder list. When a file having a print count of “1” or more exists in the file view display area, the file name and print count of the file are added to a file list associated with a folder list. When a selected-folder view display button is clicked, a list of folders registered in the folder list is displayed.
