Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display control section that displays a relation diagram expressing logical relationships between events from an upstream side to a downstream side, displays, in a case where an instruction of folding is performed on a plurality of events selected as folding starting points from among the events, the relation diagram in which events on the downstream side of the plurality of selected events are folded, and displays, in a case where an instruction of expanding is performed on the relation diagram in a folded state, the relation diagram expanded in a state before the folding.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a conversion section that converts, on an relation diagram expressing a logical relationship between a plurality of events, the logical relationship of a designated location into a natural language and outputs the natural language.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display section that displays a branch perspective which is stored in advance in association with an event in a case of creating a relationship diagram representing a structure between plural events.

Abstract: An image-forming apparatus includes a transfer part that transfers a toner image to a sheet; a fixing part that heats a sheet to which a toner image is transferred by the transfer part to a temperature at which the toner on the sheet melts, and ejects the sheet; a vibrating part that vibrates a member positioned near and/or above the fixing part at a frequency higher than audible frequencies.

Abstract: Pseudo space transmitting signal processing means of the signal processing means simulates the frequency response of the space up to the silencing point from a noise source, while pseudo inverse filter signal processing means simulates an inverse filter characteristic 1/(K×Sp×G1) for canceling the characteristic of the combined frequency response (K×Sp×G1) of K of noise input means, Sp of a secondary sound source speaker, and G1 up to a silencing point from a secondary sound source speaker. The pseudo space transmitting signal processing means and pseudo inverse filter signal processing means set a gain characteristic equal to an original space transmitting characteristic and inverse filter characteristic, respectively.

Abstract: A rotor core (12) of a squirrel-cage rotor of an induction motor is housed in a recess (14) of a mold (18) of a conductor casting apparatus (10). A composite cylinder device (68) is fixed on the upper side of the mold (18) or on the side remoter from the pouring gate thereof, and the rotor core 12 is held in a predetermined position in the recess 14 by one piston (70). The other piston (72) locally pressurizes a molten metal that fills an end-connector ring cavity (66) defined between the rotor core (12) and the recess (14) on the side remoter from the pouring gate.

Abstract: A noise suppressor in an image forming apparatus suppresses noise from a drive mechanism during operation. An operation start signal of the drive mechanism is detected. A previously stored secondary sound having a reversed waveform to the waveform of the noise is generated at a noise suppressing position based on the drive operation start signal.

Abstract: A rotation control system includes a motor for driving a rotary body, a rotary encoder for detecting angular velocity of the rotary body, a CPU for controlling angular velocity of the motor via an interval counter and a motor driver based on the detected angular velocity of the rotary body. The CPU determines a transfer function of the rotation control system and then calculates gain and phase margins based on the transfer function. The CPU selects the most appropriate values of control parameters from preset values stored in a ROM when the gain or phase margin is out of a predetermined range.
