    摘要: Container for a beverage preparation machine or foodstuff preparation machine, the container for containing beverage or foodstuff material comprises a code encoding preparation information, in particular preparation information for a beverage preparation machine or foodstuff preparation machine to prepare a beverage or a foodstuff with beverage or foodstuff material contained in the container, the code comprising a reference portion and a data portion. The reference portion comprises at least one reference configuration defining a virtual reference line. The data portion comprises a virtual encoding line intersecting the virtual reference line at a virtual intersection point and a sequence of data units comprising at least two data units aligned at a distance from each other along the virtual encoding line for encoding a sequence of operations of the preparation information. Each data unit of the sequence of data units encodes an operation of the sequence of operations, wherein a relative position of each data unit in the sequence of data units encodes a nature of the encoded operation and wherein a distance between the data unit and the virtual intersection point and/or a distance between the data unit and another data unit of the sequence of data units or of another sequence of data units encodes a value of a condition for the performance of the encoded operation.

    摘要: An image reading system includes a server device and a first scanner communicably connected to the server device. The server device includes a distributed scanning storage unit that stores distributed scanning setting information defining a setting item of distributed scanning and including identification information. The first scanner includes a first receiver that receives, from a user, a command that includes the identification information and is a command to perform the distributed scanning, a first acquirer that acquires the distributed scanning setting information from the server device when the first receiver receives the command to perform the distributed scanning, a first reader that reads a first document sheet stack to generate first read data based on the distributed scanning setting information, and a first transmitter that transmits the first read data to the server device.

    摘要: A compression policy to produce compression profiles for compressing trained machine learning models may be trained using reinforcement learning. An iterative reinforcement learning may be performed response to a search request. Different prospective compression profiles may be generated for received machine learning models according to a compression policy being trained. Performance of compressed versions of the trained neural networks according to the compression profiles may be caused using data sets used to train the machine learning models. The compression policy may be updated according to reward signal determined from an application of a reward function for performance criteria to performance results of the different versions of the machine learning models. When a search criteria is satisfied, the trained compression policy may be provided.

    摘要: An image forming system includes a plurality of image forming apparatuses and an information terminal that communicates with the plurality of image forming apparatuses. The information terminal includes a communication unit and a controller. The communication unit communicates with the image forming apparatus. The controller transmits first information relating to a job to the plurality of image forming apparatuses. The controller outputs certification information corresponding to the first information. When transmission start information of the job is received from the image forming apparatus, the controller instructs the image forming apparatus to execute the job. The image forming apparatus includes an input device, a communication unit, a storage unit, and a controller. The input device receives an input. The communication unit communicates with the information terminal. The storage unit stores data. After the first information is received, the controller transmits transmission start information of the job to the information terminal which is a transmission source of the first information. When the certification information is input by the input device, the controller executes the job corresponding to the certification information.
