Abstract: A server is configured to: determine a ratio of each of a first group and a second group to be allocated to the multiple display objects according to a third user situation of a presentation target user or a schedule information; determine a display mode of each of multiple first display objects allocated to the first group in accordance with the determined ratio based on multiple first user situations, and determine a display mode of each of multiple second display objects allocated to the second group in accordance with the determined ratio based on multiple second user situations; and output setting information for displaying the multiple first display objects and the multiple second display objects in the determined display mode.

Abstract: An endoscope conduit switching apparatus configured to have a cylinder to which a plurality of conduits provided in an endoscope are connected, a piston that is fitted and inserted into the cylinder to be capable of advancing and retreating, and an urging member that urges the piston to the normal position, and switch communication states of the plurality of conduits, includes: a seal member configured to isolate the gas flow conduit from an outside, when the piston is in the normal position, and a leak portion configured to be provided on the wall face of the other one, and open the gas flow conduit to the outside in a space between the cylinder and the piston when the piston is in a position that closes the liquid flow conduit and allows the gas flow conduit to be continuous.

Abstract: An endoscope according to the present invention includes an elongated insertion section that is inserted into a subject, an attachment portion that is provided on the insertion section, and to which a circular cylindrical external appliance is attached, and a locking member that is disposed on a more distal end side of the insertion section than the attachment portion, and that prevents removal of the external appliance from the insertion section by abutting against a surface, of the external appliance, facing a distal end.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing molded food which particles of processed food such as corn flakes, wheat flakes are binded with pregelatinized cereal powder containing aqueous ethyl alcohol or powdery polymer material to mold them in a shape such as thin and long plate and the like. In the case that molded food is made by binding said particles of processed food, conventionally corn syrup is used as a binder. In this case, the taste of corn syrup obstructs original taste of the processed food and besides obtained molded food is hard to be unpleasant when chewing since the processed food is binded strongly. In this invention, the particles of processed food are made wet previously, then they are sprinkled with pregelatinized cereal powder, dried with heating to bind the particles of processed food by making the pregelatinized cereal powder become a binder to obtain molded food.
