Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: obtain related information regarding a first form; identify a second form associated with related information similar to the related information regarding the first form; obtain definition information indicating a definition of processing for a check on information written on the second form as items; and output the definition information as a candidate for definition information to be applied to items on the first form.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive, from a user, first check processing information that is set for an item on a first form and that indicates first check processing relating to a check on information written on the first form as the item; obtain second check processing information that is check processing information indicating same check processing as the first check processing and that indicates second check processing relating to a check on information written, as an item, on a second form, which is different from the first form; propose unification of the first check processing information and the second check processing information; allow the user to determine whether to unify the first check processing information and the second check processing information with each other; and reflect, if the user determines that the first check processing information and the second check processing information are to be unified with each other and at least a part of the ch

Abstract: A braking control apparatus to be installed an electric vehicle includes an acceleration and deceleration operation member, a controller, and a recognizer. The acceleration and deceleration operation member receives an acceleration request in accordance with an operation amount in a first direction from a neutral position, and receive a deceleration request in accordance with an operation amount in a second direction from the neutral position. The controller controls an amount of power regenerated by a rotary electric machine driven by wheels in accordance with the operation amount in the second direction. The recognizer recognizes a preceding vehicle traveling ahead of the electric vehicle. Upon detection of the preceding vehicle at a relative distance from the electric vehicle that is equal to or less than a threshold, the controller performs braking suppression control to decrease the amount of power regenerated in accordance with the operation amount in the second direction.

Abstract: An article-for-posting management system includes: a storage unit that stores an article for posting and a position at which the article for posting is to be posted in association with each other; an obtaining unit that obtains the position of the article for posting which is posted; and an output unit that, when there is a difference between information stored by the storage unit and information obtained by the obtaining unit, outputs presence of the difference.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to receive, if an error is found in sorting of a form image after an operator checks and corrects a result of character recognition performed on the sorted form image, an instruction to cause a process to revert to the sorting for the form image.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to acquire an evaluation form image in which an item and correct answer data indicating a correct answer of a recognition result for the item are associated with each other in advance; and output, when the acquired evaluation form image is processed in at least one step of form processing, an evaluation result of the at least one step of the form processing.

Abstract: A design management apparatus includes a management unit and an output unit. The management unit manages a history regarding plural design templates which have been viewed by a user. Each of the plural design templates is associated with plural design feature information items that indicate plural types of features in design. The output unit outputs a recommended design template in accordance with the history. The recommended design template is a design template having feature values which are between feature values of the plural types of features indicated by the plural design feature information items associated with the plural design templates which have been viewed by the user.

Abstract: Arbitrary quantum information is input. The information of a quantum two-state system is acquired as a qubit by performing a computation in consideration of a physical system. The acquired qubit is encrypted. A quantum system having signature information for guaranteeing that the qubit is really transferred from a sender to a recipient is added to the encrypted qubit. The qubit to which the quantum system having the signature information is added is further encrypted. In this manner, an arbitrary quantum state can be encrypted and transmitted without letting the sender and recipient share an entangled pair of qubits in advance.

Abstract: A fluid reservoir for a master cylinder has intergral flanges at the rear and front portions thereof which are able to absorb expansion and contraction due to the change in the surrounding temperature.

Abstract: A fluid reservoir for a vehicle tandem master cylinder is made of a resin material and provided therein with first and second fluid chambers for supplying fluid to the cylinder body chambers. A pinched-in portion between the first and second fluid chambers forms a wall between two fluid chambers of reduced area.

Abstract: A flow control apparatus for a brake master cylinder of a vehicle includes a valve chamber formed within a plug threadably secured to an outlet port of the master cylinder which is fluidically connected to the wheel cylinders of the vehicle, a flow control valve movably disposed within the valve chamber having projecting portions on one face of a flat portion thereof for providing a gap between the valve chamber wall and the valve in one end position of movement of the valve and a flow passage through the flat portion, a spring retainer secured within the inner end of the plug having a central opening for slidably receiving a central extension of the other face of the valve flat portion and a plurality of flow passages therethrough, and a compression spring between the other face of the valve portion and the spring retainer for normally maintaining the valve against the valve chamber wall with the projecting portions abutting thereagainst, whereby brake pedal depression and release alters the quantity of flui

Abstract: In a combined reservoir made of a plastic material such as nylon or polythene and master cylinder housing assembly, a bolt is screwed into coaxial openings of the housing and the reservoir to fasten each other. A metallic sleeve is secured to the opening of the plastic reservoir to limit the compression of plastic reservoir when the bolt is rotated. Thus, a seal rubber provided between the plastic reservoir and the housing is properly compressed to make effectively fluid-tight therebetween due to a proper fastening force exerted on the metallic sleeve.
