A notification control device for controlling notification based on subject information is disclosed. The subject information including temperature image data, which indicates temperature of a subject captured within a predetermined capturing range, is received. A predetermined destination of notification information, which represents a state of the subject based on the subject information, is notified. A process of notifying the notification information to the predetermined destination is stopped depending on whether or not the subject information includes predetermined identification information.

Notification control device, notification control system, and notification control method

An information providing apparatus for providing information of a user who uses a bed placed in a facility includes a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to collect image data indicating temperatures on the bed and temperatures around the bed from an acquisition device, the image data being acquired by the acquisition device, detect, based on the collected image data, a change of a given temperature in one or more detection areas preset on the bed and around the bed, and send the information of the user to predetermined notification destination, based on the change of the given temperature indicated by the image data in the one or more detection areas detected as corresponding to a preset pattern of change of the given temperature.

Information providing apparatus and information providing system

A developing roller of the present invention is made up of a nonmagnetic sleeve and a magnet roller disposed in the sleeve. The magnet roller includes a cylindrical magnet produced by molding a mixture of magnetic powder and a high polymer, and a single rare-earth magnet block mounted on the magnet at a position corresponding to a main magnetic pole for development. The cylindrical magnet is magnetized such that magnetic poles adjoining the main magnetic pole are opposite in polarity to the main pole. The main pole and each pole adjoining it make an angle of 45&deg; or less therebetween.
