The safe driving evaluation system comprises a wake-up call unit that executes a wake-up call to a driver if it is determined based on a current drive condition of a vehicle at a predetermined location before a temporary stop position that there is a possibility of not being able to stop safely at the temporary stop position; a ratio calculation unit that calculates a wake-up call ratio as a ratio of the number of wake-up calls, which corresponds to the number of temporary stop positions where the wake-up call was executed, to the number of passed positions, which corresponds to the number of temporary stop positions where the vehicle passed; and an evaluation information acquisition unit that acquires evaluation information based on the wake-up call ratio.

A refrigerator according to the invention can settle the problem of overgreat temperature increase of refrigerating chamber and simultaneously execute the defrosting of cooler used by the refrigerating chamber. Commonly the refrigerating chamber activates a fan used by the refrigerating chamber for executing the defrosting of cooler used by the refrigerating chamber in a freezing mode. Furthermore, the switching from the freezing mode to a cold preserving mode is executed independently from the detection result of cooler temperature sensor used by the refrigerating chamber. At a state that a special condition is satisfied, the fan used by the refrigerating chamber is activated in the freezing mode and the defrosting of cooler used by the refrigerating chamber is executed (step A202, A203). Furthermore when the detection result of the cooler temperature sensor used by refrigerating chamber is above a first preset temperature (YES in step A205), the switching (step A208-A210) from the freezing mode to the cold preserving mode is executed.

Provided is a slip processing system and the like that improves work efficiency by reducing a burden of work for handling slips from merchandise sales.

The work efficiency of slip processing can be thus improved.

The invention discloses a method for depositing a metal elementary substance thin film by atmospheric cold plasmas. The method comprises the following steps:step 1, mixed gas is excited and ionized togenerate the atmospheric cold plasmas, and the atmospheric cold plasmas form plasma light flame in a cavity of a nozzle; step 2, a metal compound solution is atomized and then enters the cavity of the nozzle; and step 3, under surrounding protection of the protective gas, the plasma light flame and fog drops generate action, solvent in the fog drops is evaporated, a metal compound in the fog drops is reduced into metal particles, and the metal particles are sprayed onto a substrate to be deposited to form the continuous metal elementary substance thin film. According to the method, the metalelementary substance thin film can be deposited under normal pressure, reaction temperature is low, the method is suitable for a heat sensitive substrate, a vacuum or closed deposition chamber is notneeded, so that the size of the substrate is not limited by space, and application range of the method is expanded; and the metal elementary substance thin film prepared by the method is stable in property, post-processing is not needed, so that the technological process is shortened, and production efficiency is improved.

The bracket (16) is slidable between a retracted position at the inner portion of the frame member (7) and a use position at the outer portion of the frame member (7).

Provided is a drive device that reduces the time needed to write content data from a nonremovable recording medium to a removable recording medium, which occurs when content data is written to a nonremovable recording medium in order to write to a user-specified removable recording medium. The drive unit (300) of a recording device (100) of this invention is provided with a drive controller (320) that, upon receiving a write command indicating that data should be written to a specific area of the specified disk, writes the data to a memory unit (340) and records an association between the area of the memory unit (340) to which the data was written and the specific area of the specified disk. When the specified disk is inserted, the drive controller writes, to the specific area of the specified disk, the data which had been written to the memory unit (340), and also sends a data write complete notification to the issuer of the write command.

The invention provides a recording apparatus and recording method. A recording apparatus including a recording unit capable of performing a recording process in a recording area for various types of recording media, and a transport roller pair capable of transporting the recording media onto the recording area; the transport roller pair includes a drive roller which is provided with a drive roll portion having a width in a direction orthogonal to a transport direction of each of the recording media longer than a maximum width of the various types of recording media, and a slave roller which is provided with a slave roll portion capable of pinching the various types of recording media between the drive roll portion and the slave roll portion, a distance between the ends of the slave roll portion in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction is shorter than a minimum width of the various types of recording media.
