Abstract: A technique disclosed herein relates to a method for producing a plate piece including a partial outline and a remaining outline continuous from the partial outline. The method disclosed herein may comprise removing an outer region external to the partial outline from a plate workpiece by a first punch (first punching process); and punching out an inner region internal to the remaining outline by a second punch from the plate workpiece in which the outer region has been removed while applying a block to a side surface of the plate workpiece along the partial outline (second punching process). In the second punching process, by applying the block to the side surface of the already-formed partial outline, deformation of the partial outline can be suppressed when the inner region internal to the remaining outline is punched out by the second punch.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing therein a position prediction program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising: first calculating, from each of a second positions of a positioning object at a plurality of prediction timings in the past, a third position of the positioning object at a prediction timing; second calculating, on the basis of the second position at a last prediction timing out of the plurality of prediction timings and a first position of the positioning object calculated from image data received from a shooting device after the last prediction timing, a fourth position of the positioning object at the prediction timing; and predicting the second position at the prediction timing on the basis of the third position and the fourth position.

Abstract: A sheet feeding device includes a feeding roller pair, a detecting portion, a first changing portion, a second changing portion, and a controller for controlling the first changing portion and the second changing portion. The controller starts a first feeding operation for feeding a sheet toward the obliquely feeding roller pair in a nipping state of the feeding roller pair and then starts a second feeding operation for feeding the sheet for abutting a side end of the sheet against the reference member in the nipping state of the obliquely feeding roller pair. The controller changes, after the first feeding operation is started and before the second feeding operation is started, a start timing of the second feeding operation on the basis of a detection result of a position of the side end of the sheet detected by the detecting portion.

Abstract: A sound absorbing device for a moving body includes a resonance tube, a variable elastic membrane, and an adjustment part. The resonance tube has a pipeline, one end portion of which is disposed to face an indoor space. The variable elastic membrane has one surface disposed so as to face an indoor space and the other surface disposed so as to face an internal space of other end portion of the resonance tube. The adjustment part adjusts an elastic modulus of the variable elastic membrane.

Abstract: An information management apparatus includes at least one processor configured to acquire first time information and second time information, the first time information being related to a time taken to acquire a predetermined amount of at least one or more specific nucleic acids based on a first cell acquired from a cancer patient, the second time information being related to a time taken to culture a second cell different from the first cell until a predetermined amount is reached; and store individual patient information in which the first time information and the second time information are associated with attribute information of the cancer patient.

Abstract: Provided are a cell culture apparatus capable of culturing cells with a high yield and time efficiency by efficiently advancing bead to bead transfer of the cells in a case where culture carriers are introduced into a suspension and cells are cultured on the culture carriers, and a method for manufacturing a cell group. A cell culture apparatus includes a culture container that accommodates a suspension containing at least cell complexes that are complexes of cells and culture carriers; a drive device that agitates the suspension; a measurement device that measures at least one of a cell distribution information value related to the cells and a carrier distribution information value related to the culture carriers in at least one partial region in the suspension; and a control device that controls driving of the drive device on the basis of at least one of the cell distribution information value and the carrier distribution information value measured by the measurement device.
