Abstract: The eating timing of food/drink in a storage is adjusted according to the request of a receiver who receives the food/drink in the storage. A storage according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a control unit; and an actuator configured to adjust an environment based on an instruction from the control unit, wherein the control unit acquires information relating to food/drink in the storage and a specified date, and gives the instruction to the actuator regarding a control target value of a storage environment of the food/drink, based on the information relating to the food/drink and the specified date.

Abstract: A storage includes: a storage chamber that stores goods; a partition configured to move back and forth in a direction along an inner wall of the storage chamber, and divide the storage chamber into multiple rooms; and a temperature adjustment device configured to move back and forth in the direction along the inner wall of the storage chamber, and adjust the multiple rooms to different temperatures. For example, in conjunction with the movement of the partition, the temperature adjustment device moves in the above direction. The partition is configured to move back and forth between a first position, at which the partition is stored along the inner wall, and a second position, at which the partition divides the storage chamber into the multiple rooms, and the temperature adjustment device moves in that direction in conjunction with the movement of the partition between the first position and the second position.

Abstract: A temperature adjustment apparatus configured to transfer heat in a first storage chamber to a second storage chamber, and adjust the first storage chamber and the second storage chamber to different temperatures is provided. The temperature adjustment apparatus includes a control unit configured to perform control in a first driving mode of causing heat to be exchanged between the first storage chamber and the second storage chamber without flowing air therebetween. For example, the control unit further performs control in a second driving mode of causing heat to be exchanged between the first storage chamber and the second storage chamber by flowing air therebetween. For example, the control unit performs control in the second driving mode in response to a rise in the concentration of carbon dioxide or ethylene in the first storage chamber or the second storage chamber.

Abstract: A pickup and delivery or selling apparatus is transportable, and includes: a reserving section in which an article can be reserved; a receiving part in which the article to be reserved in the reserving section is received; a delivering part in which the article is delivered; a plurality of support members each used for supporting the article in the reserving section; a transfer unit configured to transfer the support members each supporting the article between the reserving section and either the receiving part or the delivering part; and an abnormality-managing unit configured to perform a predetermined response to an abnormality occurring in the support members.

Abstract: A determination device includes an irradiator, an extractor, an imager, and a determiner, The irradiator irradiates an object including a food or a plant with a light. The extractor extracts a predetermined fluorescence emission having a predetermined wavelength out of fluorescence emissions generated from a surface of the object irradiated with the light. The imager captures a fluorescence image indicating the predetermined fluorescence emission. The determiner determines a state of the object based on an index indicating a fluorescence intensity of the fluorescence image.
