Abstract: A positive crankcase ventilation system includes a positive crankcase ventilation valve, a coupling part, and a plate member. The coupling part is configured to couple the positive crankcase ventilation valve and an internal combustion engine. The plate member is attached to the coupling part on an opposite side from a side where the coupling part and the internal combustion engine contact each other. A portion of the plate member is bent in a direction toward a base of a hose insertion port provided on the positive crankcase ventilation valve, and another portion of the plate member is bent in a direction toward a side wall of an attachment portion of the positive crankcase ventilation valve provided on the coupling part.

Abstract: Provided is a functional unit for a bathroom that includes a functional component for a bathroom, separated from a water faucet device and fixed to a bathroom wall part; and a reforming unit that is formed integrally with the functional component for a bathroom and that includes a cartridge capable of reforming raw water flowing through a water supply passage from the water faucet device to a water discharge device. The reforming unit includes a casing that houses the cartridge, and the casing is detachably connected to the functional component.

Abstract: Provided is a granular activated carbon which has a filtered flow rate of a predetermined value or higher, and a high water purification performance; and a method for manufacturing the same. A granular activated carbon comprises a plurality of activated carbon granules and a binder for binding the plurality of activated carbon granules, wherein the binder is composed of net-like fibers. Also, a method for manufacturing the granular activated carbon includes a step for spraying and drying slurry which is obtained by dispersing the activated carbon granules and the fibers in water.

Abstract: A communication device includes a first obtaining unit that searches for another communication device that does not belong to a wireless network to which the communication device belongs without using an access point of the wireless network, and obtains first search information for establishing a connection in a first connection mode or a second connection mode different from the first connection mode; a second obtaining unit that searches for the another communication device via the access point of the wireless network, and obtains second search information for establishing a connection in the second connection mode; a first connection unit that establishes a connection in the first connection mode with the another communication device without using the access point of the wireless network; and a second connection unit that establishes a connection in the second connection mode with the another communication device via the access point of the wireless network.

Abstract: An oil separator for trapping oil mist contained in blow-by gas includes a separation plate, an upstream oil-mist trapping chamber, and a downstream oil-mist trapping chamber. The upstream and downstream oil-mist trapping chambers are divided by the separation plate. The upstream oil-mist trapping chamber communicates with a flow inlet for blow-by gas. The downstream oil-mist trapping chamber communicates with the upstream oil-mist trapping chamber and communicates with a flow outlet for blow-by gas. A return port formed through the separation plate returns oil mist trapped in the downstream oil-mist trapping chamber into the upstream oil-mist trapping chamber. The return port is positioned vertically above the bottom surface of the upstream oil-mist trapping chamber and is positioned at substantially the same vertical level as the lowermost portion of the bottom surface of the downstream oil-mist trapping chamber.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an address information storage storing recipient information relating to a recipient and the recipient's address with an address identifier as address information; a program storage storing setting information in association with a program identifier as program information, the setting information including program identification information specifying a program and the address identifier; a program execution unit executing the program associated with the program identifier based on the setting information; an address information change unit changing the address information in the address information storage, and changing the address identifier along with the change in the address information; and an information change adjusting unit adjusting, upon detecting a change in one of the address identifier and the address information, the address identifier of the program information including the address identifier in the program storage in response to the change in the

Abstract: Disclosed is an image forming apparatus including a command receiving unit that receives a print command, a detector that detects a state of the operation unit, and a controller. When the detector detects that the state of the operation unit is a predetermined state subsequent to receiving the print command by the command receiving unit and prior to completion of printing based on the print command, the controller causes the printing to be terminated. When the detector detects that the state of the operation unit is not the predetermined state subsequent to receiving the print command by the command receiving unit and prior to the completion of the printing based on the print command, the controller causes the printing to be executed.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a storage control unit that stores, in a storage medium, device number information for identifying the information processing apparatus and a consumables list of consumables available in the information processing apparatus identified by the device number information; and a processing unit that acquires the consumables list from an order receiving server via a network, causes the consumables list to be displayed, and send order information received from the user to the order receiving server when being connected to the network, causes the consumables list to be displayed and causes the storage control unit to store order information received from the user when being not connected to the network, and sends the order information stored to the order receiving server when the information processing apparatus is recovered from a state of being not connected to the network to a state of being connected to the network.

Abstract: A project intermediary device is connected to a contractee terminal and a contractor terminal in a manner capable of communication. The project intermediary device includes an order information management unit, a product checking unit, and product transmission unit. The order information management unit acquires and manages order information for a project transmitted from the contractee terminal. The product checking unit checks whether or not a product, transmitted from the contractor terminal, for the order information satisfies predetermined criteria. The product transmission unit transmits the product to the contractee terminal when it is determined by the product checking unit that the predetermined criteria are satisfied.
