Abstract: Provided is a server device that achieves highly accurate biometric authentication. This server device includes a management unit, and a processing unit. The management unit manages a database that stores biometric information about each of a plurality of users. The processing unit processes an authentication request from each of a plurality of terminals, including a gate device at a final stage of a series of procedures, with reference to the database. When a first user who has succeeded in authentication passes through the gate device, the management unit invalidates an entry of the first user stored in the database.

Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus includes a cap, a control unit, and a recording unit having nozzle arrays each including a plurality of nozzles for ejecting ink in an image recording operation. The cap receives ink preliminarily ejected from the recording unit. The control unit controls an ejection operation to eject ink in response to receiving a recording command to cause an amount of ink ejected from a first nozzle group in a first preliminary ejection executed prior to the recording operation of the image to be smaller than an amount of ink ejected from a second nozzle group different from the first nozzle group in a second preliminary ejection executed prior to the recording operation of the image in a case where the recording command includes an instruction for recording the image by using the second nozzle group without using the first nozzle group among the plurality of nozzles.

Abstract: Provided is an authentication system that improves user convenience. This authentication system includes at least one first terminal, a plurality of second terminals, and a server device. The first terminal is capable of providing services using a biometric authentication function or non-biometric authentication function. Each of the second terminals is capable of switching between a biometric authentication function and a non-biometric authentication function and capable of providing services using the biometric authentication function or non-biometric authentication function. The server device is connected to the first terminal and the plurality of second terminals. The server device calculates the rate of usage of a biometric authentication function by the at least one first terminal. The server device determines an operation mode for at least one of the plurality of second terminals on the basis of the calculated rate of usage.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes an ink tank, a carriage, a recording head mounted on the carriage, a carriage control unit, and a supply tube connected to the recording head and the ink tank and including a bent portion that moves with carriage movement. The carriage control unit moves the carriage in predetermined directions to record on a recording medium. Assuming that, of an acceleration/deceleration area of a carriage moving area, an area in which pressure changes to decrease negative pressure in the recording head is a first area, and an area in which the pressure changes to increase the negative pressure in the recording head is a second area, the carriage control unit moves the carriage so that an absolute value of acceleration or deceleration of the carriage in the first area is less than an absolute value of acceleration or deceleration of the carriage in the second area.
