Abstract: Disclosed is a recording apparatus including a tank configured to store liquid to be supplied to a recording head that ejects the liquid, the tank including an inlet port for liquid injection; a cap unit including a shaft portion and a cap configured to turn about the shaft portion between a first position at which the cap caps the inlet port and a second position at which the cap does not cap the inlet port, the shaft portion being provided to a housing that encloses the tank; and a biasing unit configured to bias the cap unit in a direction to move the cap apart from the inlet port, wherein the cap unit does not move at the second position while being biased by the biasing unit.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a support member configured to support a printhead that performs printing by discharging ink to a print medium, a connecting member including a connecting portion connected to an ink introduction portion of the printhead and through which the ink introduction portion communicates with an ink supply passage via the connecting portion, a rotation member configured to hold the connecting member such that a posture of the connecting member is changeable, and configured to be supported by the support member to be rotatable between a connecting position at which the ink introduction portion and the connecting portion are connected and a connection releasing position at which the ink introduction portion and the connecting portion are not connected, and a biasing portion configured to bias the connecting member to a first posture with respect to the rotation member.

Abstract: An apparatus acquires, from a patient information storage device that stores patient information including a symptom of each of a plurality of patients and a medical history of each of the plurality of patients, the patient information of each of the plurality of patients. The apparatus extracts first patient information including a symptom of a target patient from the patient information of each of the plurality of patients, estimates a first disease corresponding to the symptom of the target patient based on a medical history included in the first patient information. The apparatus searches for first medical institution information including the first disease, from medical institution information including identification information indicating each of a plurality of medical institutions and a disease that has been treated at each of the plurality of medical institutions, and outputs first identification information included in the first medical institution information including the first disease.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a processor configured to: allocate, upon receiving referral information of a patient from a first medical institution, a physical volume from among a plurality of physical volumes; generate volume information that indicates the physical volume; cause an information processing device to store a copy of the examination information of the patient in the physical volume, the examination information of the patient being stored in a first database; receive the volume information from a second medical institution; identify the physical volume based on the received volume information; allocate the identified physical volume to the information processing device; and cause the information processing device to obtain the copy of the examination information of the patient from the physical volume and store the obtained copy of the examination information in a second database.

Abstract: A memory stores common identification information that is shared between a plurality of information provision institutions for identifying a person. A processor assigns the common identification information to personal information transferred to a storage device from a plurality of operation databases respectively of the plurality of information provision institutions. Then, the processor generates confidentialized personal information by confidentializing the personal information to which the common identification information has been assigned.

Abstract: An information processing system includes, a first information processing apparatus that stores medical information associated with identification information, a second information processing apparatus that stores personal information associated with identification information, and a third information processing apparatus that transmits, to the first information processing apparatus, first identification information that identifies medical information usable for specific application, receives medical information corresponding to the first identification information from the first information processing apparatus, transmits, to the second information processing apparatus, second identification information that identifies personal information usable for the specific application, receives personal information corresponding to the second identification information from the second information processing apparatus, and generates application information usable for the specific application, based on the medical infor

Abstract: A memory stores first confidentialization-level information, which represents a confidentialization level of a first confidentialization process. A processor generates first confidentialized personal information by applying the first confidentialization process to personal information provided from an information provision institution. A communication interface circuit transfers the first confidentialized personal information to a storage device used by an information analysis institution. Next, the processor compares the first confidentialization-level information and second confidentialization-level information, which represents a confidentialization level requested by the information analysis institution for a second confidentialization process, and generates a comparison result.

Abstract: A memory stores a plurality of pieces of information transferred respectively from a plurality of information provision institutions. A processor extracts a plurality of pieces of analysis target information that are to be provided to an analysis device, respectively from the plurality of pieces of information stored in the memory. A communication interface circuit transfers the plurality of pieces of information to a first storage device via a first communication network and transfers the plurality of pieces of analysis target information to a second storage device connected to a second communication network. The second communication network is separated from the first communication network and the analysis device is connected to the second communication network.
