Abstract: A data processing system includes a unit which executes predetermined data processing by linking first and second apparatuses, a communication control unit which establishes and maintains a communication connection between the apparatuses even if the connection is not in a predetermined operation state capable of executing data processing, a pairing unit which causes the apparatuses to transition to a pairing state, and a control unit which, if the apparatuses' transition to the pairing state is not in a predetermined operation state, causes transition to the operation state by transmitting predetermined signals between the apparatuses via the communication control unit. The execution unit causes the apparatuses to transition to a pairing state, and then executes data processing by linking them. The communication control unit judges whether to establish a communication connection between the apparatuses by referencing pairing states between them, and of a combination with another first or second apparatus.

Abstract: A manufacturing method includes a mixing step, a kneading step of kneading a wet mixture, a liquid adding step of further adding a liquid to a kneaded material, a forming step of extruding a forming material of which viscosity is adjusted into a honeycomb formed body, a drying step of drying the honeycomb formed body, and a dimension measuring step of measuring a dry dimension of a honeycomb dried body that has been dried, where in the liquid adding step, the amount of the liquid to be added is adjusted based on the result of measuring the dry dimension of the honeycomb dried body.

Abstract: An imaging device shoots a common subject in synchronization with other imaging devices. The imaging device includes a processor. The processor receives states of the other imaging devices, compare an own state of the imaging device with the received states of the other imaging devices, and determine whether the imaging device functions as a main device or a subordinate device for setting an imaging condition. When the processor determines that the imaging device functions as the main device, the processor sends imaging information acquired or determined by the imaging device for shooting the common subject to the subordinate devices. When the processor determines that the imaging device functions as the subordinate device, the processor sets the imaging condition in the imaging device based on the imaging information received from the main device.
