An information providing system includes a memory device that stores accident-prone location information including items. Each of the items includes position information of a spot that requires attention of a driver and a precaution related to the spot. The processing circuitry is configured to store, in the memory device, history information indicating whether the driver has been notified of each of the items. The processing circuitry is configured to extract, based on the accident-prone location information, the history information, and the planned travel route, an item of which the driver has not been notified. The item corresponds to a spot included in the planned travel route. The processing circuitry is configured to notify the driver of the extracted item before the driver starts driving.

Information providing system

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium that stores a print management program causing a computer to function as a retrieval unit that retrieves information about first functions of an image forming device and information about second functions of plural second devices; and a determination unit that determines whether the second functions of the second devices can process a print job, when the first functions of the image forming device cannot process the print job. Here, the image forming device and the second devices are connected to a print system including the computer. When the determination unit determines that the second functions of the second devices cannot process the print job, the print management program constrains the second functions of the second devices from being utilized.

A braking apparatus for a blind, used to reduce the speed of a shielding member of the blind when it is lifted and lowered, in which weights are stably supported and operated without an increase in the size of the braking apparatus. The braking apparatus has a casing, a rotor rotatably supported with in the casing, and weights adapted to rotate together with the rotor in such a way that they can be in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the casing. A cylindrical shaft portion and weight support portions radially projecting from the peripheral surface of the shaft portion at equal intervals in the circumferential direction are formed on the rotor. One end of each weight is swingably supported by the weight support portion extending over the axial-direction entire length of the weight.

The present invention provides a method of cleaning a storage case to be used for storing or transporting mask substrates such as photomasks and photomask blanks, semiconductor substrates such as semiconductor wafers, pellicles, or the like. The present invention: facilitates a regular cleaning operation, can be used also for a storage case of a complicated shape, does not require a large scale equipment or an expensive equipment to facilitate an environmental countermeasure, and provides high cleaning effect. The method of cleaning a storage case polluted by adhesion of a foreign substance of an organic material, an ionic foreign substances or an ionic crystal foreign substance physically absorbed, comprises a step of placing the storage case still in air flow of cleaned air or an inert gas in a temperature range from room temperature to 80&#xb0; C. for desorbing and removing the foreign substance adhered to the storage case.

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a spherical seamless capsule formed by encapsulating a filler material such as a medicine with a capsule shell material such as gelatin. A concentric multiple nozzle is positioned above the liquid surface of a curing liquid such that the tip of the nozzle faces down. A concentric columnar composite flow which is discharged from this concentric multiple nozzle and which is composed of a filler material and a capsule shell material outside the filler material is immersed in the curing liquid, and cut in the curing liquid to form a droplet. The capsule shell material of the droplet is cured by the curing liquid, and thereby a seamless capsule is formed. Since, the droplet is not dropped into the curing liquid, no deformation of the droplet caused by collision against the liquid surface occurs. The tip of the multiple nozzle is positioned above the liquid surface of the curing liquid. This prevents water contained in the curing liquid from adhering to the surface of the nozzle and penetrating into the composite flow.

Method of manufacturing seamless capsule

A method of making a spherical seamless capsule formed by encapsulating a filler material such as a medicine with a capsule shell material shell such as gelatin. A liquid capsule shell material is stored in a tank at a low temperature, and supplied to a concentric multiple nozzle while it temperature is raised to a predetermined temperature upon being gradually heated while being transferred to the concentric multiple nozzle. This prevents deterioration in the capsule shell material and excessive decrease in its viscosity. When the liquid filler material and the capsule shell material flow out of the concentric multiple nozzle, their flows are cut by imparting a vibration thereto, to form a droplet in which the filler material and the capsule shell material are disposed at the center and on the outside, respectively. Such droplets are dropped into a curing liquid while in a dispersed state to cure the surface of the capsule shell material.

A pen holding device has a pen or pens slidable in a pen holder which is fixed removably to a drafting head frame. The pens are moved up and down by actuating means mounted on the drafting head frame, for drafting and mooring. The engagement of the actuating means to the pens are very easily released by a single releasing mechanism for easy and quick exchange of the pens.
