Abstract: An information processing apparatus is configured to display, on a display device, in a first display form, a first query including a question and a plurality of choices that are answers to the question, obtain behavior information indicating a behavior of a user when the user answers the first query in the first display form, determine a first confidence level of the user for the first query in the first display form and a reliability of the first confidence level, when the reliability is less than a threshold value, display the first query on the display device in a second display form, and determine a second confidence level of the user for the first query based on a first answer of the user to the first query in the first display form and a second answer of the user to the first query in the second display form.

Abstract: A work assistance system includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor executes a process including: displaying a data list in which pieces of data are arranged according to a predetermined rule, in a state being viewable by an operator; detecting a direction of a gaze movement of the operator with respect to the displayed data list; and changing a region to be highlighted in the data list, depending on whether the detected direction of the gaze movement is in a predetermined state.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that causes a computer to execute a process, the process including detecting a gaze position of a user to a screen of a display device, determining a distribution width for the gaze distribution information based on the detected gaze position or display information displayed, on the screen, in proximity of the gaze position, and outputting a gaze distribution information generated in accordance with the distribution width, the gaze distribution information indicating a degree of attention of the user on the screen.

Abstract: A gaze position detection apparatus includes: a memory which stores a plurality of registered move patterns of a gaze position and correction information of the gaze position included in the registered move pattern for each of the registered move patterns; a move pattern detection unit which detects a move pattern of a user's gaze position, from a plurality of measurement points of the user's gaze position which are obtained from data items representing a user's gaze direction generated by a gaze detection device in different timing; a similar-pattern extraction unit which extracts the registered move pattern similar to the move pattern of the user's gaze position from among the plurality of registered move patterns; and a correction unit which corrects the gaze position included in the move pattern of the user's gaze position using the correction information of the gaze position for the similar registered move pattern.

Abstract: An easy-tear, non-laminated, polyolefin based film pouch, method of manufacturing and forming die assembly is described. The pouch has a sealed flowable-type material containing compartment between opposed film walls which are sealed along opposed parallel edges thereof. A high tear strength seal tab is formed in a corner portion of the pouch and extends from one of the parallel edges. The seal tab is spaced a predetermined distance from an adjacent transverse side edge of the pouch. A tear slit is formed in the seal tab to initiate a tear in the pouch for access to the flowable material in the pouch. More specifically, but not exclusively, the pouch is fabricated in a vertical form, fill and seal (VFFS) machine.

Abstract: An automatic bagging system and method of operation having an intelligent programmable controller is described. Articles are discharged, one at a time, at a rapid rate into compartments of an article receiving housing and are then discharged in a bag. The article receiving housing has hinge gates for guiding the articles in respective ones of the compartments. A detector detects the position of articles being discharged into the article receiving housing and sends article detection signals to a controller. The controller has a programmable processor in which is inputted article loading time lapse data for each of the compartments. The system continuously loads articles into the article receiving housing and retains a first article during the discharge operation of the housing. The controller also operates the hinge gates after a delay of the time lapse data and in synchronism with the article detection signals.
