Abstract: A printer system includes a management server that acquires position information of a printer and identifies a role of the printer set for the position of the printer based on the acquired position information, and the printer that acquires information associated with a role of the printer identified by the management server and operates based on the acquired information. The printer may update printer settings based on setting data acquired from the management server. The printer may acquire print data stored in a storage location identified by the management server and perform printing based on the acquired print data.

Abstract: A display system includes: a first apparatus that detects a position of a person in a space in which an object is located; a second apparatus that is different from the first apparatus and detects a position of the object; and a control apparatus that displays information on a display apparatus. The control apparatus integrates information acquired from the first apparatus and related to a change in the position of the person between a predetermined point of time and a point of time different from the predetermined point of time and information acquired from the second apparatus and related to a change in the position of the object between a predetermined point of time and a point of time different from the predetermined point of time and displays integrated information on a display apparatus.

Abstract: An analysis system includes: a first apparatus that detects a position of a person in a space in which an object is located; a second apparatus that is different from the first apparatus and detects a position of the object; and an analysis apparatus that analyzes a behavior of the person, wherein the analysis apparatus analyzes the behavior of the person in response to the object based on a relationship between the position of the person acquired from the first apparatus and the position of the object acquired from the second apparatus.

Abstract: A product management apparatus includes: a storage unit that stores first characteristic data indicating a characteristic of a first product at a first date and time; an acquisition unit that acquires second characteristic data indicating a characteristic of a second product at a second date and time after the first date and time; and a determination unit that determines whether the first product and the second product are identical based on the first characteristic data, the second characteristic data, and a time elapsed since the first date and time until the second date and time.

Abstract: A printer system includes: a printer that acquires and transmits, to a management server, identification information for identifying a customer and that also acquires, from the management server, and outputs recommendation information for the customer; and the management server that generates and transmits, to the printer, recommendation information including position information, based on at least one of attribute information or action history information of a customer identified by identification information acquired from the printer.

Abstract: A suction nozzle, which is configured to be interlocked with a gas filler nozzle used to supply a gas to a gas consuming device, comprises a suction port configured to suck moisture inside the gas filler nozzle when the suction nozzle is interlocked with the gas filler nozzle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a receiver suitable for the use of contents data recorded in an electronic device installed, for example, at home, through a mobile terminal at any location. A data transmitting server 8 authenticates access from a mobile terminal 1 via a network 6, requests a contents list for a fixed terminal 3 in the user's home via the network 6, and outputs the list, supplied from the fixed terminal 3 accordingly via the network 6, to a transmitter 9. In addition, the data transmitting server 8 requests via the network 6 the fixed terminal 3 in the user's home to transmit the contents data selected by the user of the mobile terminal 1, format-converts the contents data supplied by the fixed terminal 3 accordingly via the network 6, and outputs the contents to the transmitter 9. The present invention can be applied to, for example, mobile phones, personal handyphone system (PHS) phones, hand-held computers, car navigation systems, and headphone players.

Abstract: A method for measuring damping characteristics of a friction member include: relatively pressing a first member as a friction member to be measured against a second member, for relatively sliding with respect to a second member and vibrating, measuring vibration states of the pressed first and second members, and measuring variations in the vibration states of the pressed first and second members and measuring damping characteristics of the friction member to be measured against vibrations by comparing damped amounts based on the variations in the vibration states of the first and second members. The above method and an apparatus therefor enable detailed evaluations of friction member having high performance.

Abstract: A frictional dynamic characteristic measuring apparatus for measuring a pressing force and a frictional force acting between a friction material as a specimen and a slide portion which are in sliding contact, includes a sliding speed changing device for forcibly changing a sliding speed of the friction material and the slide portion, which is changing in a self-excited manner at a resonance frequency of a resonance system including the friction material and the slide portion, at the resonance frequency of the resonance system. This apparatus enables evaluation of a friction material which absorbs self-excited vibration in a torsional vibration system without the need of additional evaluation in an actual machine for use.
