Abstract: A biological information monitoring system includes: a biological information monitoring apparatus that monitors biological information of an organism wearing the biological information monitoring apparatus on an ear; and a charger that charges the biological information monitoring apparatus in a non-contact manner. The charger charges the biological information monitoring apparatus when the biological information monitoring apparatus is not monitoring biological information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to detect a command for a thickness or a density of a line or a group of lines being rendered while a user is rendering the line or the group of lines in midair by using a gesture, and store the detected thickness or the detected density in association with a trajectory.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to acquire, from a biometric potential acquired from a subject, first information representing a feeling of the subject and second information representing a movement of a body that the subject consciously takes, and output, in an associated form, the first information and the feeling of the subject pre-associated with the second information.

Abstract: A waste powder recovery device includes: a recovery container that houses waste powder and has an inlet through which the waste powder is received; and a conveying component that is cantilever-supported in such a way as to swing freely inside the recovery container, the conveying component having a first conveying section with which the waste powder brought in through the inlet is conveyed with a first conveying force within the recovery container, and a second conveying section with which the waste powder is conveyed with a second conveying force that is larger than the first conveying force.

Abstract: A biological information measuring apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to obtain information, and if the obtained information indicates that a condition is currently not suitable for measuring biological information of a living body wearing a body of the apparatus, output a guide to a suitable condition for measuring the biological information of the living body.

Abstract: A conductive member contains silicone rubber and a conductive agent. The total content of cyclic dimethylpolysiloxane having 3 to 24 silicon atoms in the conductive member is 5000 ppm or less.

Abstract: An information processing device includes an extractor and a controller. The extractor extracts biological information and a motion of a head from a potential measurement result, which is a result of measuring a potential in the head of a human body. The controller performs control to enable the biological information and the motion of the head that have been extracted by the extractor to be simultaneously presented in association with each other.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a first obtaining unit that obtains action information from a device worn on a head of a user, the action information being information indicating a motion of the head of the user; a second obtaining unit that obtains biological information on the user from the device; and an analyzing unit that analyzes, based on the action information and the biological information, a state of the user.

Abstract: A transport device includes a transport member and a moving member. The transport member includes a shaft and a blade helically extending on an outer peripheral surface of the shaft. The transport member transports a granular material with a rotation of the shaft. The moving member extends from an outer side of the transport member in a radial direction to the shaft. The moving member includes a distal end portion moving in an axial direction of the shaft in a gap defined by the blade.

Abstract: An opening/closing mechanism is provided between a powder transport container removably attached to an apparatus housing and a powder receiving container provided in the apparatus housing to receive powder in the powder transport container as a result of a connection port communicating with a discharging port of the powder transport container. The opening/closing mechanism opens and closes the discharging port along with attachment and detachment of the powder transport container, and includes an opening/closing lid that opens the discharging port by being stopped by a part of the powder receiving container when the powder transport container is attached to the apparatus housing, a seal member, and a covering material that is provided on a surface of the opening/closing lid opposed to the seal member and has a protruding piece in contact with an edge portion of the connection port when the powder transport container is attached.

Abstract: Provided is a fixing device including a heating unit that includes a circularly moving heating belt, and a pressurizing roller that presses an external face of the heating belt, the fixing device fixing a toner image on a sheet onto the sheet by nipping the sheet between the heating belt and the pressurizing roller and by heating and pressurizing the sheet transported with the toner image being held.

Abstract: A fixing device includes a rotatable endless fixing member that fixes a toner image onto a recording medium, and a heating member. The heating member includes a heat-generating layer that generates heat when supplied with electricity; an insulation layer that encloses the heat-generating layer therein to electrically insulate the heat-generating layer; a metallic layer that is laminated on a first surface of the insulation layer, has higher rigidity than the insulation layer, and generates an elastic restoring force; and a thermally conductive layer that is laminated on a second surface of the insulation layer, has lower rigidity than the metallic layer, and has higher thermal conductivity than the insulation layer and the metallic layer. The heating member is supported by one edge of the fixing member in a circumferential direction thereof, elastically deforms by being pressed against an inner peripheral surface of the fixing member, and heats the fixing member.
