The scent detecting apparatus receives the freshness information from the server apparatus and presents the received freshness information.

Abstract: A first solution is supplied from a first pump. A second solution is supplied from a second pump. A flow path from the first pump and the second pump to a column is switched between a first flow path and a second flow path. In the first flow path, a first mixer is located upstream of an injection part for a sample, and the second mixer is located downstream of the injection part. In the second flow path, the first mixer and the second mixer are located upstream of the injection part. The first flow path is formed in a first mode in which the sample is diluted before introduction into the column. The second flow path is formed in a second mode in which the sample is not diluted before introduction into the column.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a printing unit that executes a printing operation to print an image on a recording sheet, a HDD in which first authentication information for identifying a user is stored in advance, an operation device for receiving information inputted, and a control device. The control device causes the printing unit to print, on the recording sheet, a first status page including first information related to a charge arising from execution of the printing operation, when an instruction to print a status page indicating a printing status by the printing unit has been received, and the authentication information received through the operation device and the first authentication information stored in the HDD in advance have been accorded with each other.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a print engine, a sheet transportation unit, an optical sensor, and an image processing unit. The print engine is configured to physically print an image to be printed on a print sheet. The sheet transportation unit is configured to transport the print sheet along a predetermined transportation path. The optical sensor is arranged so as to face the transportation path, and configured to detect a color of a test chart on a colored print sheet transported along the transportation path. The image processing unit is configured to perform color correction of the image to be printed on the colored print sheet, on the basis of the detected color of the test chart on the colored print sheet so as to restrain color change of the image due to a surface color of the colored print sheet.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a mechanism that does not cause a situation such as corrosion of the iron tip with an air nozzle due to blowing off solder from the iron tip of the soldering iron, and a mechanism capable of coping with various shapes of iron tips. In order to achieve the object of the present invention, an iron tip cleaner device for a soldering iron includes a cleaner chamber including a wall surface and an air jetting holes that is provided in the wall surface and jets air for blowing off solder on an iron tip. The solder on the iron tip is blown off by convection air generated when the air jetted from the air jetting holes collides with the wall surface.

Abstract: A layered double hydroxide of the present disclosure includes two or more transition metals and a chelating agent. The layered double hydroxide has an average particle diameter of 10 nm or less.

Abstract: Provided is a method for inducing immunity of a plant using ultra fine bubble water containing a short-chain aldehyde. The plant immunity induction method according to the present disclosure comprises exposing a plant to ultra fine bubble water containing a short-chain aldehyde and an oily substance. In the ultra fine bubble water, ultra fine bubbles are dispersed in water. The life of the ultra fine bubbles in the ultra fine bubble water tends to be prolonged due to the function of the oily substance. As a result, the short-chain aldehyde is allowed to be stably present around the plant, and therefore plant immunity can be induced easily.
