A display control apparatus includes a control unit. In the case where, with a display unit displaying a multi-dimensional table that includes three or more axes which extend in different directions and on each of which plural items are disposed and plural tables each including plural cells that indicate a correlation between items disposed on two orthogonal axes of the three or more axes, a scroll operation is performed on a first table selected from the plural tables, a second table is adjacent to the first table in a first direction determined in advance, and the direction of the scroll operation is a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction, the control unit performs control such that the first table and the second table are scrolled in conjunction with each other together with an axis that extends along the direction of the scroll operation.

Display control apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium

An information processing apparatus includes the following elements. A selector selects, as a first item, an item disposed within a QFD chart. A first calculator calculates a correlation score between the first item and an item associated with an adjacent axis. A first extracting unit compares the correlation score with a predetermined value and extracts a second item related to the first item. A second calculator calculates a correlation score between the second item and an item associated with an adjacent axis and determines the calculated correlation score between the item associated with the adjacent axis and the first item. A second extracting unit compares the correlation score with a predetermined value and extracts a third item related to the first item. A display unit displays the first item, the second item, and the third item in a mode different from a mode of the other items.

Fixing belt and fuser

A heat-resistant resin film having a metallic thin film accumulated thereon or an endless belt having a metallic thin film accumulated thereon having good mechanical characteristics is produced in a simple process. A metallic thin film is formed on an inner surface of a cylindrical substrate, and a layer of a heat-resistant resin is formed thereon. An accumulated body of the heat-resistant resin and the metallic thin film is peeled off from the substrate. The metallic thin film may be formed by electroplating, electroless plating or vapor deposition, or may also be formed by attaching a metallic foil having been prepared on an inner surface of the substrate. The heat-resistant resin layer is formed by injecting a polyamide acid solution in a rotational drum, and then formed by centrifugal forming by rotating the rotational drum on rollers under heating. After forming, imidization is conducted by heating and baking to form a film member of a thermosetting polyimide. The heat-resistant resin layer may be formed by centrifugal forming of a liquid crystal polymer under melting by heating in the rotational drum, or by centrifugal forming of a solution of aromatic polyamide.
