An information processing apparatus capable of executing near field wireless communication, comprises: a display unit configured to display a screen; an obtaining unit configured to obtain identification information regarding a device from a near field wireless communication tag with use of the near field wireless communication; a selection unit configured, in a case where the obtaining unit obtained the identification information, to select one of first processing for connecting to the device indicated by the identification information and second processing for connecting to the device indicated by the identification information and sending data to the device, based on a type of screen being displayed by the display unit; and a processing unit configured to execute the processing selected by the selection unit.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for selecting a text span from an input electronic document that answers an input question. One of the methods includes obtaining a respective first numeric representations of text spans in the input document; for each of the text spans: determining, for a segment that contains the text span, a question-aware segment vector, determining, for the question, a segment-aware question vector, and processing the first numeric representation of the text span, the question-aware segment vector, and the segment-aware question vector using a second feedforward neural network to generate a second numeric representation of the text span; for each unique text span in the plurality of text spans: determining an aggregate representation for the unique text span, and determining, from the aggregate representation, a final score for the unique text span; and selecting a unique text span.

In a case where a registration state of a printing apparatus in operating system (OS) standard print software and a registration state of the printing apparatus in print conversion software do not match each other, an information processing apparatus performs a process for matching between a registration state of a print queue of the printing apparatus in the OS standard print software and the registration state of the printing apparatus in the print conversion software.

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that includes transformation hardware to convert input data from a time domain into a frequency domain, a generative model, and a discriminative model coupled to the transformation hardware and the generative model, wherein the generative model and the discriminative model are to operate in the frequency domain.

An image forming apparatus includes a main body memory, and a controller. A second upper limit information stored in the main body memory indicates an upper limit of a printable page number that the image forming apparatus is allowed to print in a state where the image forming apparatus is in an off-line state. A printed page number information stored in the main body memory indicates a printed page number printed in the off-line state. The controller is configured to: increment the printed page number information by one in a case where the one sheet of paper is printed on one side printing; and increment the printed page number information by two in a case where the one sheet is printed on double-sided printing. The controller is configured to determine whether the printed page number information is greater than or equal to the second upper limit page number.

A storage device is provided. The storage device includes a controller which receives a command from a host for instructing performance of a first computation, a non-volatile memory which stores a plurality of datasets, a buffer memory to which a first dataset among the plurality of datasets stored in the non-volatile memory is provided in response to the command, and an accelerator which performs the first computation corresponding to the command, using the first dataset provided to the buffer memory. The accelerator includes a memory access module which receives a first input query for instructing the first computation and the first dataset from the buffer memory, and a first computing module which is connected to the memory access module and determines first final candidate data corresponding to the first input query, using the first dataset.

A method analyzing a machine having a rotating shaft includes generating an electric measurement signal dependent on mechanical vibrations from the shaft rotation; sampling the measurement signal to generate a digital measurement data signal; performing a decimation of the digital measurement data signal to achieve a digital signal having a reduced sampling frequency, where the decimation includes controlling the reduced sampling frequency such that the number of sample values per revolution of the shaft is kept at a substantially constant value, and receiving the digital signal at an enhancer input performing a correlation in the enhancer so as to produce an output signal sequence where repetitive signals amplitude components are amplified in relation to stochastic signal components, and performing a condition analysis for analyzing the condition of the machine dependent on the digital signal having a reduced sampling frequency.
