Abstract: An orifice plate having orifice openings is interposed between a roller body and a side plate. In a closed region of an outer peripheral surface of the roller body which is covered with a base material, the base material is held on the outer peripheral surface of the roller body under suction by a negative pressure developed in suction holes. In an open region of the outer peripheral surface which is not covered with the base material, the sucking of a gas from an exterior space into the roller body is suppressed because it is difficult for the gas to pass through the orifice openings. This suppresses a reduction in sucking force in the closed region due to the entry of the gas from the open region. The roller body, the orifice plate and the side plate rotate as a unit. This suppresses deterioration of the members due to the slidable movement thereof.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, a method, and a program that can improve anonymity. An acquisition unit acquires a user identification ID that identifies a user and user data regarding the user. A derived ID generation unit carries out an operation using a one-way function, for data obtained from the user identification ID according to an increase in the number of the user data recorded in a recording unit, to generate a derived ID. A recording control unit causes the recording unit to record the generated derived ID and the acquired user data in association with each other to. In this way, the derived ID is generated according to the increase in the number of recorded user data, and the user data is recorded in association with the derived ID. Therefore, K-anonymity of the user data can be improved. The present technology can be applied to a server.

Abstract: An electrolyte membrane for a polymer electrolyte fuel cell is sent out from an unwinding roller and wound around a winding roller to be transported continuously at a constant speed in a roll-to-roll mode. Two stages of drying processes are performed on a catalyst ink layer applied to a surface of an electrolyte membrane with a backsheet in a first drying furnace and a second drying furnace. The first drying furnace blows a hot air of a first temperature lower than a glass transition temperature of the electrolyte membrane to evaporate a solvent from the catalyst ink layer. The second drying furnace blows a hot air of a second temperature higher than the first temperature and also higher than a glass transition temperature of a to-be-formed catalyst layer to turn the catalyst ink layer into a catalyst layer.
