  • Publication number: 20240286410
    Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a head having nozzles, an expelling device, a discharge-testing device to output condition signals according to discharging conditions of the nozzles, a storage to store information concerning the condition signals, and a controller. In response to receipt of a record command, the controller controls the expelling device to expel a liquid from the nozzles based on the information concerning the condition signals stored in the storage, and thereafter, controls the head to discharge the liquid for recording an image on a recording medium. In response to receipt of a particular signal indicating a potential for receiving the record command, the controller executes a discharging-test process in which the controller controls the discharge-testing device to output the condition signals according to the discharging conditions of the nozzles and a storing process in which the information concerning the condition signals is stored in the storage.

  • Patent number: 12014826
    Abstract: A sentence extraction means extracts a sentence that is different from a cause or a coping method included in knowledge corresponding to a predetermined event and is related to the predetermined event, from an unconfirmed work record. A group selection means selects a group based on a similarity between a first character string of the extracted sentence that is likely to represent a cause or a coping method and a group generated in advance. A character string selection means selects a second character string from the group, and a replacement means replaces the first character string in the work record with the second character string. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, a knowledge generation means selects a character string from the group and generates new knowledge based on the character string.

  • Patent number: 11998967
    Abstract: A panel-shaped formed product made of a metal sheet includes a top panel portion, an opening portion, and a vertical wall portion. The top panel portion is polygonal. The opening portion is provided in the top panel portion. The vertical wall portion extends from at least not less than two adjacent borders among the borders of the top panel portion. At least one pair of each vertical wall portion of pairs of adjacent vertical wall portions of the vertical wall portions has a stepped portion. As a result, the panel shaped formed product has fewer defects such as cracks and wrinkles even when it has a shape that is difficult to form.

  • Publication number: 20240170111
    Abstract: Based on receipt data indicating a detailed statement of medical fees, receipt data conversion information indicating a presence or absence of a medical care information item that corresponds to a plurality of examination failure conditions is generated. A failure risk level based on the medical care information item included in the receipt data is calculated by using the receipt data conversion information and an examination failure risk predictor. A risk factor indicating a medical care information item with a degree of contribution to the failure risk level calculation that is greater than or equal to a prescribed threshold value for degree of contribution is specified. A revision screen for the medical care information item that is a risk factor when the failure risk level is greater than or equal to a prescribed threshold value for risk level is output.
