  • Publication number: 20250046462
    Abstract: An information processing system provides information regarding a product for skin and can include a control unit or controller. The control unit analyzes biological information regarding skin of multiple users and generates multiple skin classifications for classifying the skin of the users based on analysis. The control unit stores user identification information for identifying a user of a source of the biological information in association with one of the generated skin classifications and stores product information regarding multiple products relating to skin in association with the corresponding skin classification. The control unit receives, from a terminal of a user corresponding to the user identification information, a search request for product information using the skin classification as a search criterion.

  • Publication number: 20250038457
    Abstract: A connector assembly includes a first connector and a second connector to be connected to the first connector. The first connector includes a housing and a lever to be mounted on the housing rotatably between an initial position and a completion position. The housing includes a lock receiving portion. The lever includes a lock piece for holding the lever at the initial position by locking the lock receiving portion. The lock piece is resiliently deformable. The second connector includes a releasing portion for releasing locking of the lock piece and the lock receiving portion by sliding in contact with the lock piece when the connection of the first and second connectors, is started. The lever receives a force acting in a direction opposite to a rotation direction RD from the initial position toward the completion position when the releasing portion and the lock piece slide in contact.

  • Publication number: 20250038467
    Abstract: A connector includes a first housing and a second housing, a plurality of first terminals to be disposed in the first housing, and at least one shorting terminal to be disposed in the first housing. The shorting terminal includes a pair of contact pieces for shorting a pair of the first terminals, out of the plurality of first terminals, by resiliently contacting the pair of first terminals. The second housing includes a releasing projection projecting in a connection direction to the first housing. The releasing projection includes a releasing portion for releasing a short circuit of the pair of first terminals by resiliently deforming one of the pair of contact pieces toward one side in a first direction when the first and second housings, are properly connected, and extending portions extending toward both sides in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction from the releasing portion.

  • Publication number: 20250038455
    Abstract: A lever-type connector includes a housing, a lever to be mounted on the housing rotatably between an initial position and a completion position, and a detecting member to be mounted into the housing movably between a standby position and a detection position. The detecting member is movable from the standby position to the detection position with the lever located at the completion position. The lever includes a pair of plate-like portions, an operating portion coupling the pair of plate-like portions in a first direction and a projecting portion projecting from the operating portion. The detecting member includes a body portion and a recess recessed from the body portion. The detecting member is disposed inside the pair of plate-like portions in the first direction and the projecting portion is disposed in the recess with the lever located at the initial position and the detecting member located at the standby position.

  • Patent number: 10899615
    Abstract: A chlorine fluoride feeding device and feeding process are provided that can stably generate industrially applicable chlorine fluoride (ClF), control flow rate, and provide continual feed. The feeding process of chlorine fluoride of this invention is a feeding process to feed chlorine fluoride generated by loading a gas that contains fluorine atoms and a gas that contains chlorine atoms to a flow-type heat reactor or a plasma reactor, and it can stably generate and safely feed chlorine fluoride for a long time by reacting chlorine fluoride that is difficult to pack at a high pressure, such that an amount that can be packed in a gas container such as a gas cylinder is limited, with two or more types of gas materials that can be packed safely in a gas container by liquefaction, or with such gas material and a solid material.

  • Patent number: 4374548
    Abstract: A playing vehicle is disclosed in which a human may ride on the vehicle body in a mode wherein he sits thereon while his legs are stretched and in which the body weight may be one-sided to either the left or right, thereby changing the travelling direction. The playing vehicle comprises bearings pivoted to the vehicle body by means of king pins, resilient members interposed between the vehicle body and the bearings, wheels supported on both bearings, and a prime mover placed on a mount. Both legs of a triangle whose base is a horizontal phantom line depicted longitudinally of the surface of the vehicle body is aligned with the inclining direction of the front and rear king pins.
