Abstract: A connector that is in a fuel supply system capable of supplying a high-pressure fuel, and may reduce pulsation in a low-pressure pipe with a simple structure and extend the life of a mold is provided. A valve of the connector includes a valve seat contact surface and a tapering through hole. The valve seat contact surface axially separates from an annular valve seat and forms a forward-direction flow path due to pressure of the low-pressure fuel when the high-pressure fuel does not flow in reverse, and may come into contact with the annular valve seat when the high-pressure fuel flows in reverse. The tapering through hole is formed farther radially inward than the valve seat contact surface, forms an orifice flow path having a smaller cross-sectional area than the forward-direction flow path, and allows a reverse flow of the high-pressure fuel when the high-pressure fuel flows in reverse.

Abstract: In a case where predetermined information is acquired by a first program using a first method, control is performed such that processing that is based on the predetermined information is executed by a second program based on an activation of the second program. In a case where the predetermined information is acquired by the first program using a second method, control is performed such that the processing that is based on the predetermined information is not executed by the second program even if the second program is activated.

Abstract: An image processing method includes an acquisition step of acquiring image data by capturing printed matter, wherein first information and second information, indicating a type of the first information, are embedded in the printed matter as an electronic watermark, an extraction step of extracting the first information and the second information from the image data acquired at the acquisition step, and a processing step of processing the extracted first information by different processing methods in accordance with the extracted second information. Based on that the type of the first information indicated by the second information is a predetermined type, the extracted first information is processed at the processing step, by a predetermined processing method for access to an external device using the extracted first information and display of a web page based on the access.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus provided with a communication unit can communicate with an external apparatus that provides a predetermined function. The information processing apparatus performs: controlling a screen that is displayed on a display unit; transmitting a request signal for requesting the external apparatus for authentication information; and requesting use of the predetermined function provided by the external apparatus. When the request signal is received by the external apparatus, the external apparatus transitions to a state for accepting a predetermined operation. The information processing apparatus requests for use of the predetermined function based on receiving the authentication information that is output when the predetermined operation is accepted by the external apparatus, while a password input screen corresponding to the predetermined function of the external apparatus is not displayed on the display unit.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus, which determines a leaning of an object image in a case of inserting the object image into a predetermined area included in a captured image, includes: a detection unit configured to detect the predetermined area from the captured image; a generation unit configured to generate a rectangle that includes the predetermined area detected by the detection unit; and a determination unit configured to determine a leaning of the rectangle relative to a horizontal line or perpendicular line of the captured image as the leaning to be used for inserting the object.
