Abstract: Provided is a liquid (e.g., ink) storage member for coating tools to reduce the consumption of plastic and the environmental impact by substituting paper base material for plastics such as polypropylene. The liquid storage member has at least three layers as follows: an inner layer made of paper base material and an intermediate layer of a paper base laminate comprising a metal layer or a silica vapor deposition layer formed on the outer surface side of the paper-based inner layer; and an outer layer made of paper base material formed on the outer surface side of the intermediate layer. The paper base laminate is wound into a spiral shape and on the outer surface side of the intermediate layer, the outer layer is also wound into a spiral shape. A polyolefin resin-containing adhesive layer lies in between the inner and intermediate layers and/or between the intermediate and outer layers.

Abstract: A guidance promotion server includes: a first processing unit that receives a request from a terminal, and transmits the request to a first service reservation server; a second processing unit that temporarily holds a candidate group of a first service being answered by the first service reservation server, based on the request from the terminal, and transmits a part of information constituting the candidate group of the first service to a second service reservation server; and a third processing unit that receives a candidate group answer of a second service from the second service reservation server, based on the information, and transmits, to a user interaction server, a narrowing result from a candidate group of the first service, based on the candidate group answer of the second service, and the candidate group answer of the second service.

Abstract: The wearable measurement device includes a mounting part for mounting the device to a human body, a variation detection part detecting a variation in distance from a predetermined portion of the human body, a posture detection part detecting a posture of the variation detection part in the case where the device is mounted to the human body through the mounting part, and a measurement part measuring the number of predetermined motions based on the variation detected by the variation detection part and the posture detected by the posture detection part. The variation detection part includes a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit, makes the light emitting unit emit light and the light receiving unit detect reflection light reflected at a predetermined portion, detects a distance from the predetermined portion and outputs an electric signal (voltage or current) in accordance with the detected distance at a predetermined sampling cycle.

Abstract: The wearable measurement device includes a mounting part for mounting the device to a human body, a variation detection part detecting the movement of a predetermined portion of the human body while not being in contact with the predetermined portion, and a measurement part measuring the number of predetermined motions or time of motion based on the movement detected by the variation detection part. The variation detection part includes a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit, makes the light emitting unit emit light and the light receiving unit detect reflection light reflected at a predetermined portion, detects a distance from the predetermined portion and outputs an electric signal (voltage or current) in accordance with the detected distance at a predetermined sampling cycle.

Abstract: An output management device including: an acquiring unit that acquires a list of output data; a storage unit that stores sharing information of the data storage device; a first judgment unit that judges a state of a first output control device; a second judgment unit that judges the state of the second output control devices, when judged that the first output control device is not working and the data storage device is shared with the first and second output control device, and a setting unit that sets the output data possible to output when the first judgment unit judged that the first output control device is working or the second judgment unit judged that at least one of the second output control devices is working, and sets the output data impossible to output when the second judgment unit judged that all the second output control devices are not working.
