A dynamically deployable side-view camera mount includes a support body that is movable between a deployed position and a retracted position. The support body in the retracted position allows the camera to at least partially include the angular range captured when the support body is in the deployed position.

Imaging unit support apparatus

An image-capturing device mounting mechanism, which includes: an anchoring unit fixed to a building; a body unit with a capturing lens, the body unit mounted to and demounted from the anchoring unit; a first engaging portion provided in the body unit for an engagement between the body unit and the anchoring unit when the body unit is mounted to the anchoring unit; and a second engaging portion provided in the body unit for an engagement between the body unit and the anchoring unit when the first engaging portion engages the anchoring unit.

Image-capturing device mounting mechanism and image-capturing device

A method for distributing advertisement data to display terminal devices from a distribution server via a relay server. The relay server receives status notifications of the display terminal devices and transmits a tenor of receipt of the status notifications to the display terminal devices. The distribution server receiving status notifications and transmits the tenor of receipt of the status notifications to the relay server. The distribution server determines whether the reproduction schedule of the advertisement data has been changed and transmits a notification on a change. If the distribution server receives a request for acquisition of the as-changed reproduction schedule, the distribution server sends the as-changed reproduction schedule to the relay server. If the relay server determines that the reproduction schedule acquired from the distribution server has been changed, the relay server transmits the notification on the change of the reproduction schedule.

Data processing system and data processing method

A data processing system includes a distributing device that distributes edited advertisement data and display terminal devices that display the edited advertisement data distributed to a first place in a predetermined territory. The display terminal devices are each provided with a first reader/writer configured to read out from and/or write in an IC card having stored memory identification data. The data processing system also includes a second reader/writer configured to read out from and/or write in an IC card. The data processing system also includes a hysteresis management device that manages hysteresis data HD, HDfrom the first reader/writer, correlated with the memory identification data, and hysteresis data HDfrom the second reader/writer, correlated with the memory identification data. The data processing system further includes a hysteresis analysis device that correlates the hysteresis data HD, HDfor each of the memory identification data to generate analysis data.

The present invention has non-contact communication means () configured to read a card identifier ID stored in a memory of an IC card, a barcode generation unit () configured to generate a two-dimensional barcode of a bonus data associated with the card identifier ID read by the non-contact communication means (), and a display unit () configured to display the two-dimensional barcode of the bonus data generated by the barcode generation unit (). And, the bonus data displayed on a display unitin the two-dimensional barcode is read by a barcode reader () of a POS terminal ().

A disc changer is provided to support each of a plurality of bare discs for recording and/or regeneration on a separate disc rack board without requiring a cartridge. The disc rack boards are positioned so as to form a vertical stack. A carrier is provided which moves only in the vertical direction along the vertical stack of disc rack boards. Furthermore, a plurality of disc drives is provided in a vertical stack opposing the vertical stack of disc rack boards. A hand is provided which moves only in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the carrier moves, and operates to transfer one of the plurality of bare discs between one of the plurality of disc rack boards and the carrier and between one of the plurality of disc drives and the carrier. Thus, the number of discs which may be loaded is increased while the size of the disc changer is minimized.
