An information processing system is configured to acquire noncontact information indicating at least one of noncontact fingerprint information and iris information of an authentication subject. Subsequently, the information processing system is configured to acquire biological information used for a collation of the authentication subject, which is recorded in advance and associated with the noncontact information.

Information processing system, information processing method, and program

A biometric authentication apparatus of the present invention comprises: a finger-tip placing detecting means for detecting placing of a finger-tip onto a finger-tip placing section; a finger-base-part placing detecting means for detecting placing of a finger-base part onto a finger-base-part placing section; and a guidance means for conducting guidance of whether or not the finger-tip or the finger-base part has been placed, on the basis of the results of the detections conducted by the finger-tip placing detecting means and the finger-base-part placing detecting means.

Biometrics authentication device

A foldable case blank having first, second, third and fourth portions continuously connected through longitudinal fold lines, these portions being formed as upper, bottom, front and rear portions of a case, respectively, when the blank is fabricated as a case and side pieces attached through transverse fold lines of these first through fourth portions on both side ends thereof. The first, i.e. upper, portion is provided with shaping portions which are defined by longitudinal cut lines, transverse foldable lines and a central cut line so that the shaping portions reinforce the side portions of a fabricated case when the shaping portions are folded inwardly of the case. The shaping portions are provided with projections along the central cut line so that the projections are engaged with engaging holes formed on the bottom portion of the case when the case blank is fabricated. The upper portion is further provided with tongued pieces which are engageable with the engaging holes of the bottom portion when one case, thus fabricated, is stacked on another fabricated case.

Foldable case blank

A cardboard sheet-feeding device used for feeding corrugated cardboard one sheet after another, such as to an automatic box-making machine. The cardboard-feeding device has a frictional conveyor belt driven in one direction, a control plate located above the frictional conveyor belt, and a positioning device for stacking sheets of cardboard upon the frictional conveyor belt behind the control plate, whereby upon movement of the frictional conveyor belt the bottom most cardboard sheet in the stack stacked on the friction conveyor belt is fed forward, slipping under the control plate. There is also provided a cardboard-holding device which is supported and driven by a pair of endless movable loops, the loops being driven via a sliding clutch, and which exerts pressure on the stack of sheets to correct warping of the sheets regardless of the height of the stack.
