  • Publication number: 20210362522
    Abstract: A tape cassette includes a box-like housing, a tape mounted within the housing, a hole and a first indicator portion. The housing includes a top wall having a top surface, a bottom wall having a bottom surface and opposing the top wall, and a front wall having a specified height and being formed along peripheries of the top wall and the bottom wall. The hole is provided in the front wall. The first indicator portion includes at least one first aperture and indicates a first element among a plurality of elements of a type of the tape. The first indicator portion is provided in a portion, spaced from the front wall, of the bottom wall. The hole and the one first aperture is located to intersect a virtual line orthogonal to the front wall when viewing along a vertical direction orthogonal to the top wall and the bottom wall.

  • Publication number: 20200050954
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to one embodiment includes first and second processing circuitry. The first processing circuitry acquires traveling data including a plurality of features of a mobile apparatus based on a travelling state of the mobile apparatus. The second processing circuitry calculates a predicted value of consumed energy of the mobile apparatus based on a first classification rule and the traveling data, the first classification rule associating a plurality of first conditions with a plurality of first prediction models for the consumed energy used on satisfaction of the first conditions being associated with at least one of the plurality of features. The second processing circuitry determines whether update of the first classification rule is required based on a difference between the predicted value and an actual value. The second processing circuitry generates a second classification rule based on the traveling data if the update is required.

  • Patent number: 10316439
    Abstract: The present invention provides a crimped polyamide yarn to which it is possible, using fibers that include low water absorption polyamide, to impart a stretch property and pliability such that it is possible for the inherent stretch properties of the crimped yarn to be appropriately expressed in a woven or knit fabric. The crimped polyamide yarn of the present invention is a side-by-side composite yarn which includes at least 40 mass % of low water absorption polyamide having an average of water absorption ratio of 5% or less at a temperature of 30° C. and a relative humidity (RH) of 90%, and in which the low water absorption polyamide is at least one component. The yarn is false-twisted, and has a crimp elongation ratio of 25% or more.
