Abstract: An object conveying system and conveying method for conveying objects such as workpieces (W) by using two robots (1,30). A first robot (30) holds and positions a basket (71), in which workpieces (W) are randomly stacked, at a predetermined position. A second robot (1) is mounted with a visual sensor (10) for determining a position and/or an orientation of each workpiece (W), and holds a workpiece (W), based on the determined workpiece position and/or orientation. The second robot (1) takes out the workpiece from the basket (71) and delivers it to a processing machine (80). The basket (71) held by the first robot (30) does not require a position for placement, and hence workpieces (W) can be delivered to the processing machine (80) at a workpiece feed position above other equipment, so that object conveyance using robot can be easily realized even in a narrow space crowded with various equipment.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for qualifying search listings for placement in at
least one search result list and ordering the search listings according to an algorithm.
Specifically, a searching device is adapted to received items of information, such as
search listings (e.g.,  www.vahoo.com , etc.), search terms (e.g., "cars," "beauty
supplies," etc.) and monetary amounts (e.g., $1.00, etc.), from a plurality of promoting
devices, receive a search inquiry (i.e., a search term) from a reception device, and
provide (in response thereto) at least one search result list including search listings (i)
associated with the search inquiry and (ii) qualified for placement in the search result
list. In other words, if the search term linked to the search listing is the same as (or
substantially similar to) the search inquiry, then the first prong is met. Furthermore, if a
predetermined number of monetary amounts (i.e., as linked to a predetermined number
of search listings associated with the search inquiry) are not higher than the monetary
amount linked to the search listing, then the second prong is met and the search listing
is qualified for placement. Thus, only a predetermined number of search listings (e.g.,
three, five, etc.) that are both (i) associated with the search inquiry and (ii) linked to the
highest monetary amounts are qualified for placement in the search result list. Once the
search listings are qualified for placement in the search result list, the searching device
is adapted to arrange the qualified search listings according to an algorithm (e.g.,
randomly, according to relevance, according to monetary amounts, etc.).

Abstract: An information processing system that can reduce its
power consumption by means of robust power controlling even
upon occurrence of an interruption/exception processing.
If it is found that there is no task set in the ready state
as a result of watching the number of tasks set in the ready
state by the RTOS or ready state watching task, the system
controls the RTOS or ready state watching task so as to lower
the power while the current active task controls the power
according to the preset WCET of each application slice. On
the contrary, if there is any task set in the ready state,
the system controls so as to raise the power and the current
active task comes to control the power according to the
virtual WCET that is earlier than the WCET of each
application slice. And, if there is no task set in the ready
state and there is no current active task, the system
controls so that the RTOS or both of the ready state watching
task and sleep task lower the power. This is why the present
invention can reduce the power consumption of the subject
information processing system.
