Abstract: An information processing device according to one embodiment includes a monitoring unit and a providing unit. The monitoring unit detects that a user operates a link to a page of a second shop different from a first shop and accesses to the page of the second shop and then identifies the first shop. The link is on a page of the first shop provided through a network. The link contains information for identifying the first shop and information for identifying the second shop. The providing unit provides the user with information related to a benefit available in the first shop.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a flux-cored wire for gas shielded arc welding, which has merits of both solid wire and flux-cored wire, the merits being high depositing properties and a small amount of slag generated of solid wire and stable welding workability of flux-cored wire. A flux-cored wire for gas shielded arc welding, in which flux is filled in a steel sheath, containing 0.3 to 1.8% (total wire mass percentage, the same rule applies to the following) of Si, 0.8 to 4.0% of Mn, and 0.15 to 2.0% of a synthetic material containing Na2O and TiO2 or a synthetic material containing Na2O, SiO2 and TiO2 as an arc stabilizer, with a flux filling percentage of 3 to 10% by mass.

Abstract: In order to conduct welding so that the welded steel shows a decreased residual stress after welding without a post treatment such as a PWHT, the steel for welded structures and the welding wire of the present invention starts a transformation from austenite into martensite at a temperature (Ms temperature) from at least 200° C. to up to 350° C., and has a yield strength from at least 60 kg/mm2 to up to 120 kg/mm2 at the transformation starting temperature. The multipass welding process of the present invention comprises forming a weld metal having a Ms temperature of 150° C. to 300° C., and TIG remelt-run welding the surface of the final layer.

Abstract: The joint structure of the present invention includes a flexible tube constructed of a coil-wound metal wire element and of another member. This other member includes 1) a main joint joining the end of the outer peripheral surface of the flexible tube to the end of the other member by laser welding either part or all of the main joint; and 2) spot welds joining together adjacent turns of the coil in the vicinity of the main joint by irradiating a laser beam onto a plurality of separate spots extending over the adjacent turns. A handling device for use in endoscopes having such a structure and a similar structure, in which the other member is also a flexible tube either softer or harder than the above flexible tube, is also discussed. Adjacent turns of the coil in the vicinity of each of the welded joints are laser spot-welded at a number of spots, thereby strengthening the thermally affected regions during the laser welding of the joints and increasing the rigidity of the region.

Abstract: A data signal reading device for reading an input data signal, such as may be received from an infrared remote control device, wherein the amount of error contained in the output signal is reduced. The input signal is subjected to level decision while being sampled with a clock pulse signal having a predetermined period to provide decision outputs. A first counter counts the number of occurrences of one level and responds to the decision output, while a second counter counts the number of occurrences of the other level. The second counter is initialized when it is determined that the decision output is of the one level. The counting operations of the first and second counters are suspended for a period of time slightly longer than the shorter of the two different durations when the content of the second counter reaches a predetermined value. The output state is determined according to the content of the first counter present when the second counter reaches the predetermined value.
