Abstract: A machine learning device includes a state variable acquiring section, a teaching data acquiring section, and a learned model generating section. The state variable acquiring section acquires, as state variables: feature information that is information regarding a feature of an actual printed matter on which printing has been actually performed by an image forming apparatus; medium information that is information regarding a print medium used in the actual printed matter; and first control information that is information regarding control performed when the actual printed matter has been outputted. The teaching data acquiring section acquires, as teaching data, second control information that is information regarding control that causes the feature information to fall within a predetermined threshold. The learned model generating section generates a learned model by performing machine learning on the basis of the pieces of information acquired by the state variable acquiring section and the teaching data.

The groundsel-side hardware piece includes groundsel-embedded and upper fitting tenon portions. A fitting hole for the upper fitting tenon portion of the groundsel-side hardware piece is formed in a base of the column. The column-side hardware piece includes a lower projecting portion projecting downward from a top face portion to the inside of the fitting hole, and a column-embedded portion positioned above the top face portion. A pin locking hole in the upper fitting tenon portion of the groundsel-side hardware piece and a pin locking hole in the lower projecting portion of the column-side hardware piece are mutually aligned, a driftpin is hammered into the aligned pin locking holes, and the anchor bolt and the column are thereby tightly joined to each other.

Abstract: A print file having print data is transmitted to corresponding image forming apparatuses. A print management section manages first information that identifies a print file and second information that addresses an image forming apparatus. A print file monitoring section monitors a print file memory to detect whether a print file identified by the first information has been created. When said print file monitoring section determines that the print file has been created, a print file obtaining section obtains print data for the print file from the print file memory and the first information from said print management section. A transmitter obtains the second information from said print management section that corresponds to the first information obtained through said print file obtaining section. The transmitter transmits the print data for the print file to the image forming apparatus addressed by the second information.

Abstract: An apparatus for vacuum absorption comprising a tank for accumulating circulating water; a waterway for circulating the circulating water by a pump disposed at an absorption inlet side of the tank; an aspirator disposed on the waterway; a reverse flow prevention mechanism for preventing the circulating water from flowing reversely into a vacuum vessel connected to the aspirator during the stoppage of the pump and for introducing fresh air from the aspirator into the vacuum vessel. The outlet of the waterway is provided under the water surface of the circulating water in the tank, and the reverse flow prevention mechanism comprises a bypass tube leading from the upstream of the aspirator to the water surface in the tank, and a valve disposed in the bypass tube passing air only to the direction toward the aspirator.
