The terminal controller controls an image capturing device to capture an image representing at least part of a cassette and acquiring the captured image. The cassette accommodates print medium therein. A server storage stores information concerning a specific content including at least one of print data and information available for editing the print data. The system performs a detection process detecting the cassette by analyzing the captured image and a determination process determining whether the detected cassette satisfies a specific condition. The server controller performs an information transmission process transmitting the information concerning the specific content to the terminal device in a case where the determination process determines that the detected cassette satisfies the specific condition.

Abstract: A torsional vibration damper that can reduce collision noise of an inertia body when a rotary member is stopped, and a control device therefore. In the torsional vibration damper, a rotary member is mounted on an output shaft of an engine such that none of rolling masses is situated within a predetermined angle range above a rotational center axis of the rotary member when the engine is stopped. Therefore, when the engine is stopped, the inertia body will not be supported by only one of the rolling masses situated within the predetermined angle range.

In the torsional vibration damper, a planetary gear is oscillated within a first oscillating range when a torsional torque is smaller than a reference torque, and within a second oscillating range when the torsional torque is greater than the reference torque. Each backlash between the pinion gear and at least one of a sun gear and a ring gear within the second oscillating range is individually wider than each backlash between the pinion gear and the sun gear and each backlash between the pinion gear and the ring gear within the first oscillating range.
