Abstract: An application distribution device includes one or more processors and one or more memory devices storing instructions.

Abstract: Disclosed is an additive for imparting antimicrobial properties to a resin. The additive comprises a string polymer, at least one terminal of which has a positive charge, wherein the string polymer is a polymer containing structural units derived from a cationic polymerization initiator and a monomer containing a carbon-carbon double bond. By using this additive, it becomes possible to obtain an antibacterial resin molded body which can be prepared simply and inexpensively and which has high stability and safety.

Abstract: An image processing device includes a reader and a controller. The reader acquires a document image formed on a sheet. The controller acquires an area image in a designated area designated in the document image acquired by the reader, performs a character recognition process and a code recognition process on the area image, and in response to the character recognition process not recognizing a character, employs a code recognition result by a code recognition process performed on the area image as a recognition result of the area image.

Abstract: A processing apparatus includes a moving image file restoration unit configured to restore a moving image file and an additional information file restoration unit configured to restore an additional information file associated with the moving image file. The additional information file restoration unit starts restoration processing on the additional information file associated with the moving image file after the moving image file restoration unit starts restoration processing on the moving image file and before the restoration processing on the moving image file is completed. The moving image file restoration unit completes the restoration processing on the moving image file after the restoration processing on the additional information file is completed.

Abstract: An injector includes a nozzle provided with a valve seat, a valve body which is seated on or separated from the valve seat, and a displacement means for displacing the valve body. A resin flow passage through which molten resin flows is formed inside the nozzle. The resin flow passage includes a cross-sectional area varying portion having a cross-sectional area, in a direction orthogonal to a flow direction, which varies with increasing distance toward or away from the valve body. The displacement means is capable of stopping the valve body in any position in the cross-sectional area varying portion.
