Abstract: A cutting device includes a medium transporting mechanism, a cutting mechanism and a cutting platen. The cutting mechanism includes a cutter blade, a carriage holding the cutter blade, a carriage driving mechanism moving the carriage in a width direction of a medium, and a medium pressing member pressing the medium. The medium pressing member is attached to the carriage, and the medium pressing member is formed with an opposing surface facing the opposing portion. An advancing direction side of the carriage when the cutter blade cuts the medium is a first direction side, a first inclined surface is formed at an end portion on the first direction side of the opposing surface. The first inclined surface being inclined toward a side away from the opposing portion toward the first direction side, and the first inclined surface is disposed more toward the first direction side than the cutter blade.

Abstract: Provided is a printing device including a printing mechanism that performs printing on a long medium and a cutting mechanism that cuts the medium after printing in a width direction of the medium orthogonal to a transport direction of the medium, the printing device capable of performing printing on the medium by the printing mechanism and transporting the medium toward the cutting mechanism even during the cutting of the medium by the cutting mechanism. A printing device (1) includes a tension applying mechanism (10) having a tension bar (9) that comes into contact with a medium (2) after printing to apply tension to the medium (2). The tension bar (9) is disposed between a printing mechanism (3) and a cutting mechanism (7) in the transport direction of the medium (2).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing device and a method capable of implementing more various communications. In a space of a user, an input of information by the user is accepted, and tag information for associating control information for controlling occurrence of an event for a communication partner of the user with a space of the communication partner is generated using the accepted information. Furthermore, it is determined whether or not an occurrence condition of the event designated by the tag information for associating the control information for controlling the occurrence of the event for the communication partner with the space of the communication partner, the tag information associated with the space of the user is satisfied, and in a case where it is determined that the occurrence condition is satisfied, the event designated by the tag information is allowed to occur.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus including a specifying section that specifies a base map to be processed, and a registering section that associates annexed data annexed to the base map specified by the specifying section with information regarding the base map and registers the annexed data in a map database including a database that manages data regarding maps.

Abstract: A fixing method for fixing a terminal to a conductive pattern with a brazing filler metal disposed therebetween includes: a first step of disposing the brazing filler metal on the conductive pattern; a second step of bringing the terminal into contact with the brazing filler metal; and a third step of forming a penetrating hole in the terminal by irradiating a laser beam onto the terminal. In the third step, the laser beam is irradiated onto the terminal in such a manner that the penetrating hole is filled with the brazing filler metal melted by the irradiation of the laser beam.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to reduce a load of an inquiry of a VCR about time information by a video server. For example, in response to an instruction from a host controller 105, a VCR 101 is controlled by a video server 100, a tape is reproduced by the VCR, and a video signal is outputted. The video signal is supplied to the server, encoded, and recorded. A common reference signal is supplied to the server and VCR. The server executes an encoding process while inquiring of the VCR about the time information. Upon inquiry of the VCR for the time information, the server detects a current state of the VCR and adjusts an inquiry interval of the time information in accordance with a detection result. The server presumes the time information in the VCR on the basis of a reference signal, thereby reducing the number of times of inquiry of the VCR for the time information by the server. Thus, a communication load between the server and the VCR is reduced.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is disclosed which mediates a transaction regarding a CM broadcast between a broadcasting station and a sponsor. A CM frame is registered and laid open, and a tender is accepted from sponsors. When it is discriminated that a tender deadline has come, conditions are counted, and a result of the counting is transmitted. When a sponsor is determined, CM frame acquisition is conveyed and a CM material is received. The CM material is transmitted to the broadcasting station. Then, a CM broadcast is conveyed, and a CM broadcasting charge is calculated and a claim therefor is sent to the sponsor. Then, the processing is ended. However, when a sponsor is not determined, if conditions are reset, then the processing returns to the CM frame laying open processing described above. However, if conditions are not reset, then the processing is ended.
