Abstract: An information processing apparatus acquires second information and third information based on first information for identifying a specific vehicle. The second information is information about a vehicle part that is attachable to the specific vehicle. The third information is information about a vehicle part that is currently attached to the specific vehicle. The information processing apparatus identifies a specific part that is a vehicle part that is to be proposed to be attached to the specific vehicle, based on the second information and the third information. The information processing apparatus transmits information about the specific part to a terminal associated with a user of the specific vehicle.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises a controller configured to acquire work information indicating details of work to be done on a first vehicle, and determine a first site where the work indicated by the work information is available, based on first data associating details of work that is available with each of a plurality of sites.

Abstract: A monitoring apparatus for a substrate processing apparatus includes: an imaging unit that captures an image of a nozzle of the substrate processing apparatus and a surface of a substrate held by a substrate holder of the substrate processing apparatus; a monitoring data generation unit that generates monitoring video data based on imaging video data captured by the imaging unit during an execution of a substrate process performed by the substrate processing apparatus including a first process and a second process; and a monitoring condition changing unit that changes a generation condition of the monitoring video data during the execution of the substrate process so that at least a resolution or a number of frames of the monitoring video data during an execution of the second process is different from the monitoring video data during an execution of the first process.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus obtains first information about first prescribed equipment. The first prescribed equipment is equipment that is not currently installed on a vehicle owned by a user, but has been considered by the user to be installed on the vehicle in the past. Then, the information processing apparatus determines the first prescribed equipment as equipment that is proposed to the user to be newly installed on the vehicle.

Abstract: A first paint color is acquired as a color of a paint of a first vehicle. A second paint color is acquired as a color of a paint including a peelable layer and to be applied over at least a part of the paint in the first paint color. A current or future valuation price of the first vehicle is acquired based on the first paint color or the second paint color.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus obtains information about prescribed equipment. The prescribed equipment is equipment that corresponds to a vehicle owned by a user, and is specified by a manufacturer of the vehicle as equipment that can be selected by the user. Then, the information processing apparatus proposes to the user that the prescribed equipment be newly installed on the vehicle, at a predetermined proposal timing set based on a legally defined inspection timing of the vehicle.

Abstract: A controller is provided which is configured to perform receiving, from a terminal of a user, a request for moving a component included in a first vehicle to a second vehicle, and generating, upon receipt of the request from the terminal of the user, information for reserving a predetermined facility in which the component is moved from the first vehicle to the second vehicle.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a control unit that acquires a request from a first user to move a component included in a first vehicle from the first vehicle and determines, in response to a request from a second user to move the component to a second vehicle, a possible reservation time of a predetermined facility at which the component is to be moved based on the request from the first vehicle.

Abstract: A controller of the information processing apparatus calculates a sale price of a second component selected to be sold by a user of a vehicle, based on information indicating a value of the second component, and subtracts the sale price of the second component from a cost of installing a first component. The second component is either a component bound to be removed from the vehicle when installing the first component in the vehicle other than a component to be replaced with the first component, or a component bound to be removed from the vehicle when the first component is installed in the vehicle in a case where there is no component to be replaced with the first component in the vehicle.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor that: receives, from a user terminal, a request for first update regarding a first vehicle, notifies the user terminal that the first update is to be performed at a shop, when the first update is update of hardware, and notifies the user terminal that the first update is to be performed through wireless communication, when the first update is update of software.

Abstract: A developing device includes a frame having an accommodation chamber where a developer is accommodated, and a replenishing port replenishing a developer to the accommodation chamber from outside; and a stirring member stirring the developer in the accommodation chamber, the stirring member including a rotating shaft portion rotatably supported by the frame and a sheet member having one end fixed to the rotating shaft portion and another end as a free end and being rotatable with the rotating shaft portion. When the stirring member is rotated, the free end of the sheet member is capable of contacting an inner wall surface of the accommodation chamber in which the replenishing port is formed, and a through hole penetrating in a thickness direction of the sheet member is provided in a region of the sheet member that comes into contact with the inner wall surface of the accommodation chamber.

Abstract: A protective support structure for enclosing and protecting an element includes a hollow shield and at least one pivotable end. The hollow shield has a section adapted to support a portion of the element. The pivotable end engages the hollow shield. The pivotable end has an axis of rotation around which the end pivots. The pivotable end further includes a bore having a centerline axis. The bore centerline axis is offset from the axis of rotation of the pivotable end.

Abstract: An apparatus for reproducing information signals recorded in spiral or coaxial tracks of a record disc includes a pick-up device operative, upon scanning of a track of the disc while the latter is rotated, to reproduce the information signals recorded in the scanned track; a driver for rotating the record disc relative to the pick-up device; a tracking device for controlling the tracing of the tracks by the pick-up device; a transporting device for bodily moving the pick-up device in a radial direction in respect to the axis of rotation of the record disc and thereby normally determining the tracks to be scanned by the pick-up device; and a controller selectively operative for causing the pick-up device to intermittently trace nonadjacent groups of tracks so as to intermittently reproduce the information signal recorded in the nonadjacent groups of tracks, respectively.

Abstract: A fluid flow control system has a fluid source and plural flow pipes connected to the fluid source. Each of the pipes has an opening of a specific area corresponding to one of the bit orders of a PCM (Pulse Code Modulated) input signal. The flow-condition of the fluid through each of the pipes is controlled by the PCM signal without changing the PCM signal to an analog signal. The summation of the outflow from each of the pipes combines to produce an analog flow output signal in response to the PCM input signal.
