Abstract: Proposed are a failure handling support apparatus and method capable of optimizing maintenance work by promptly presenting to a maintenance worker the objective urgency and priority of recovery measures to be taken for handling a failure that occurred in a system being used by numerous users. Status monitoring of a network and server devices is performed, and, when a failure is detected in the status monitoring, an urgency of handling the failure is calculated based on whether there has been any access from a user from an occurrence of the failure up until now, a priority of the failure is determined based on the calculated urgency, and a determination result of the priority is presented to the maintenance worker.

Abstract: There is provided a printing apparatus including: a transport mechanism; an ink jet head; a camera; a light source that irradiates a capturing area of the camera with light at a predetermined angle with respect to a print surface of the print medium; a carriage that includes the ink jet head, the camera, and the light source; and a controller (processor) that acquires reflectance characteristic data of irradiation light from the light source based on a captured image obtained by capturing an image of a printed test pattern by the camera, determines a specific initial-and-final-image-data range or a specific acquisition range in which the reflectance is within a specific reflectance range based on the acquired reflectance characteristic data, and acquires captured image data corresponding to the specific initial-and-final-image-data range or the specific acquisition range.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes: a nozzle head that has nozzles ejecting ink that is cured by an electromagnetic wave and relatively moves with respect to a printing medium; an applying section that relatively moves together with the nozzle head, and applies the electromagnetic wave; and a control section that controls intensity of the electromagnetic wave, in which a first intensity of the electromagnetic wave in a region in which the applying section and the printing medium face each other and that is a constant speed region in which a speed of the relative movement is constant is greater than a second intensity of the electromagnetic wave in regions in which the applying section and the printing medium do not face each other in at least a part thereof and that are acceleration and deceleration regions in which the speed of the relative movement is not constant.

Abstract: A functioning optical lens includes a molded polyamide layer, and an optical sheet including a polyamide sheet layer and an optical film layer. Such a functioning optical lens may be prepared by bending an optical sheet including an optical film layer and a polyamide sheet layer, and injection molding a polyamide composition onto the bent polyamide sheet layer so as to thermally fuse the polyamide composition and the polyamide sheet layer with each other.

Abstract: There is provided a power transmission control device provided in a power transmission device included in a contactless power transmission system in which power is transmitted from the power transmission device to a power receiving device by electromagnetically coupling an elementary coil and a secondary coil and the power is supplied to a load of the power receiving device. The power transmission control device includes a load state detection circuit that detects a load state of the power receiving device on the basis of a first signal from a first end of a resonance capacitor forming a resonant circuit with the elementary coil and a second signal from a second end of the resonance capacitor.
