Provided is an inkjet head containing: a substrate having a nozzle hole, and a nozzle plate having a liquid repellent layer on an outermost surface of the substrate on an ink discharge surface side, wherein the nozzle plate has a conductive layer between the substrate and the liquid repellent layer.

Provided is a maintenance device that performs maintenance of a recording head with a nozzle face on which an opening of a nozzle for ink discharge is provided.

A pressure variation suppressor includes: a liquid flow chamber through which liquid flows, the liquid flow chamber having an inlet through which the liquid flows in and an outlet through which the liquid flows out; and a flexible film that partitions the liquid flow chamber into a storage chamber in which the liquid is stored and a non-storage chamber in which the liquid is not stored, wherein the flexible film is slack in a state where the liquid flows through the liquid flow chamber.

A dynamic image analysis apparatus includes a hardware processor and a display.

A flicker measuring device of the present invention: receives light emitted from an object to be measured and outputs a light reception signal corresponding to an amount of received light; acquires the output light reception signal a plurality of times from a measurement start time point to a steady time point at which the object to be measured is in a steady state, obtains a flicker value of the object to be measured for each of the plurality of times on the basis of the acquired light reception signal, and stores the flicker value obtained for each of the plurality of times in a storage in association with an acquisition time point of the light reception signal; and performs an arithmetic processing of obtaining a flicker shift time by using each flicker value stored, in which in the arithmetic processing, an amount of overall change is obtained that is an amount of change of the flicker value from the initial flicker value to the steady flicker value, a predetermined ratio time point is obtained at which an amount of change of the flicker value from the reference flicker value is a predetermined ratio of the amount of overall change, and an elapsed time between the predetermined ratio time point and the reference time point is obtained as the flicker shift time.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program causes a computer to perform an analysis process based on a radiation moving image in which a dynamic state of a specific site of a subject is captured.

An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus including: a transmitter; a hardware processor; a receiver; and an image generator.

An article supporter for a supply device includes a feeder that supplies, by air suction, an uppermost thinly tabular article from a bundle of a plurality of thinly tabular articles that is stacked and is partially different in thickness, the article supporter for supporting the bundle with a gap between the uppermost thinly tabular article and the feeder, and the article supporter includes: a first support that supports respective thinner parts of the plurality of thinly tabular articles; a second support that supports respective thicker parts of the plurality of thinly tabular articles and is movable upward and downward; and an adjuster that adjusts a level of the second support such that the uppermost thinly tabular article of the bundle is set within a predetermined range in a vertical direction.

A method for supporting online dialogue includes: receiving, by a computer, an utterance to a second speaker from a first speaker in an online dialogue; converting, by the computer, a voice of the utterance into a character string; analyzing, by the computer, the utterance; accessing, by the computer, a database having one or more utterance examples on a basis of a result of the analysis; extracting, by the computer, a desirable response as a response to the utterance by the first speaker from the one or more utterance examples on a basis of the utterance of the first speaker; and outputting, by the computer, the extracted utterance example to the second speaker.

An object of the present invention is to provide a flame-retardant-resin composition with improved flame resistance and impact resistance, a manufacturing method thereof, flame-retardant resin molded products, and a flame-retardant resin housing.

An image forming system uses: an organic photoreceptor; and a toner for electrostatic charge image development containing toner particles, wherein the organic photoreceptor has a protective layer containing a cured resin; the toner particle has a form in which at least one type of lubricant particle and at least one type of non-lubricant particle are contained or adhered on a surface of a plurality of convex portions or on a surface between the plurality of convex portions, of a toner base particle having the plurality of convex portions thereon; and an average spacing D1 of the convex portions on the surface of the toner base particle, a median diameter D2 of the lubricant particle having the smallest median diameter, and a median diameter D3 of the non-lubricant particle having the largest median diameter, satisfy the relationship of the following formula (1): Formula (1) D3≤D1≤D2.

An image forming apparatus capable of forming a toner image on continuous paper, includes: a developing device that develops a latent image formed on an image carrier to form a toner image; a toner storage container that stores toner and is detachably attached to the image forming apparatus; and a plurality of toner storages, wherein the toner is supplied from the toner storage container to the developing device via the plurality of toner storages.

There are provided an inspection image input unit that receives a gas distribution image as an input, the gas distribution image having a visualized presence region of a gas in a space and including an image portion in which a target is irradiated with light, and a reflection-component-reduced image generating unit that generates a reflection-component-reduced image in which an image component of reflected light in the image portion of the gas distribution image received by the inspection image input unit is reduced using an estimation model machine-learned using, as teacher data, a combination of a first image including an image portion in which a target is irradiated with light and a second image including an image portion in which the target is not irradiated with light, the second image being equivalent to the first image for elements other than the image portion.
