Abstract: An analyzing device includes separating means that takes matrix data representing a non-negative matrix Y as input, and separate the matrix Y into a plurality of block matrices Yi (i=1, . . . , I) configured of one column or two or more columns of the matrix Y, and updating means that executes repeated updating processing of a matrix Hi and a matrix Ui so that a product of the matrix Hi and the matrix Ui becomes close to the block matrices Yi, in parallel, with regard to at least two or more of the block matrices Yi. The updating means executes the repeated updating processing in parallel, on the basis of a graph structure given in advance in accordance with the matrix Y, so that the distance between predetermined matrices Hi and Hj (j?i, j ? {1, . . . , I}) becomes closer.

Abstract: A receiving device includes an optical detector, a first detection region, and a second detection region. The optical detector detects a position of an object of interest to be detected by receiving, with use of one or more of light-receiving portions, reflected light that occurs when light emitted from one or more of light-emitting portions is reflected by the object of interest to be detected. The first detection region is provided at a position closer to the optical detector, and is for detecting movement of the object of interest to be detected with the use of the optical detector. The second detection region is provided at a position farther from the optical detector than the first detection region, and is for detecting presence of the object of interest to be detected with the use of the optical detector.

Abstract: A display device capable of taking a tent state in which a display unit is curved in a direction in which a display surface projects, and the display surface is enabled to be visually recognized from both sides, the device includes a processor configured to, in the tent state, cause a top region to function as an instruction input portion configured to receive an instruction from an operator, the top region being located on an upper side of a first side region directed to one side and a second side region directed to the other side in the display surface and straddling the top of the display surface.

Abstract: A detection device includes an optical detector and a controller. The optical detector includes a protrusion including light-emitting portions and light-receiving portions, and detects a position of an object of interest to be detected by receiving, with use of one or more of the light-receiving portions, reflected light that occurs when light emitted from one or more of the light-emitting portions is reflected by the object of interest to be detected. The controller performs predetermined control on the detection device in accordance with a detection result of detecting, by the optical detector, an action when a user contacts the protrusion of the optical detector.

Abstract: A transfer film for forming a decorative layer on at least one surface of a film sensor has a coloring composition layer containing a black or white pigment, and the coloring composition layer satisfies inequality 1: 50>a×b>10??inequality 1 where a is the mass content ratio of the black or white pigment in the coloring composition layer, and b is the thickness of the coloring composition layer having a unit of ?m.

Abstract: A receiving device includes an optical detector that detects a position of an object of interest to be detected by receiving, with the use of one or more light-receiving portions, reflected light that occurs when light emitted from one or more light-emitting portions is reflected by the object of interest; and a transition receiving portion that receives, based on a detection result detected by the optical detector, an user operation for causing an apparatus including the receiving device to transition from a first power state where power consumption of the apparatus is less to a second power state where the power consumption is greater. In the first power state, the optical detector activates one or more light-emitting portions and one or more light-receiving portions that are necessary for detecting a user operation on the transition receiving portion, and inactivates the rest that are unnecessary.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a reader reading an image, an image forming section forming an image on a recording medium, an exterior member having an outer surface housing the reader and the image forming section, and an operating display having an outer surface. The operating display is disposed in front of the reader, accepts an operation performed by an operator, displays an image, and is rotatable about a rotational axis disposed on its front side between a position in which the operating display faces an upper side and a position in which the operating display faces the front side. The outer surface of the exterior member has a first region which is a background behind the operating display in front view and which is colored in a color similar to a color of the outer surface of the operating display.

Abstract: A display section of an operation panel is raised relative to a horizontal plane. If the display section consists of a liquid crystal having an angle of visibility of 80 degrees (i.e., with an angle formed between the line normal to the display surface of the display section and the visibility range limit being 40 degrees), the display section is raised at about 50 degrees relative to the horizontal plane, so that visibility can be ensured both at the wheelchair seated position and at the standing position at which the non-handicapped person stands up. Further, by arranging visual recognition keys (a menu key etc.) which require an operator to view the display section during operation thereof outside of a projection region of the display section, the operator's hand on the operation panel never hides the display section during operation.

Abstract: The present invention has as its object the provision of a restoration method for a deteriorated part, which is capable of easily and reliably repairing and restoring a deteriorated part generated in a metal member to reliably prolong the lifetime of the metal member. Specifically, a local heating step of locally heating a deteriorated part C by a main heater 25 and pressure-welding the deteriorated part C by a compression force by thermal expansion and a peripheral heating step of heating the periphery and vicinity of a heated region HA1 in the local heating step by a sub heater 26 are carried out, followed by carrying out a cooling step of cooling the heated region HA1 by the main heater 25 and a heated region HA2 by the sub heater 26 at the same time.
