Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display unit that displays an image, a storage unit that preliminarily stores first guidance information (representing operation contents relating to the first state) in association with a first state, a detection unit that detects the first state or a second state, a communication unit that provides communication with an external device, and a controller that controls the display unit, the storage unit and the communication unit. When the detection unit detects the second state, the controller causes the communication unit to transmit apparatus information representing a state of the information processing apparatus to the external device, causes the communication unit to receive second guidance information (representing operation contents relating to the second state) from the external device, and causes the display unit to display an image based on the second guidance information received by the communication unit.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a maintenance staff information store part that stores maintenance staff identification information, a maintenance staff authentication part that determines an authentication success when identification information, which is input from an operation panel, is identical to the maintenance staff identification information, a maintenance history store part that, when a replacement of a consumable item is performed, stores the maintenance staff identification information as well as information of the consumable item that was used before the replacement, and an output part that outputs the maintenance staff identification information that was authenticated at the time of the replacement of the consumable item as well as the information of the consumable item that is stored in the maintenance history store part, the consumable item being used before the replacement.

Abstract: An image transferring apparatus for transmitting image data to a file server has an image input unit allowing input of image as the image data, a memory section for storing the image data, and registration and transmission information of the image data, and a communication controller for transmitting the image data stored in the memory section to the file server. The communication controller has a judgment unit for making a judgment based on the registration and transmission information of the image data as to whether communication condition of the image data is normal or not. The communication controller transmits a request for deleting the image data to the file server in a case where the judgment is made that the communication condition is not normal during transmission of the image data stored in the memory section to the file server.

Abstract: A vascular anastomosis apparatus using a carbon dioxide laser is proposed. The vascular anastomosis apparatus satisfies three conditions: a long focal distance of not less than 10 cm which is suitable for surgical operations under microscopic observation; a beam spot diameter of 0.1 to 0.3 mm when a laser beam is converged; and a stable, small beam output of not more than 100 mW. A visible guide beam having the same focusing point as that of the carbon dioxide laser beam is used in the vascular anastomosis apparatus.
