Abstract: An intermediate device 10A includes a transfer unit 11 that transfers a request including data to be transmitted from a local 30 to a remote 50, and a generation unit 12 that generates a pseudo-response to the request and returns the pseudo-response to the local 30. The intermediate device 10B includes a discard unit 13 that discards a response to the request from the remote 50. An intermediate device 20B includes a generation unit 22 that generates a pseudo-request based on an initial request for requesting data transmission from the local 30 to the remote 50 and transmits the pseudo-request to the remote 50, and a transfer unit 24 that transfers a response including data to be transmitted from the remote 50 to the local 30. The intermediate device 20A includes the discard unit 21 that discards a subsequent request from the local 30.

Abstract: A sensor that includes a switch unit and that detects a pressure applied from the front side to the switch unit or a finger approaching the switch unit from the front side is located on the back side of upholstery. A base member has a protruding portion on its surface. The upholstery includes: a light-transmitting region that is located over a light guide portion of the base member and the switch unit of the sensor and that allows light from a light source to transmit therethrough to the front side; and a non-light-transmitting region that blocks the light from the light source. A raised portion that is raised on the front side of the upholstery is located near the light-transmitting region in the non-light-transmitting region of the upholstery. The protruding portion of the base member is placed in the raised portion from the back side of the upholstery.

Abstract: A user terminal includes an actual image obtaining unit that obtains an actual image in which an electronic timepiece is displayed, a model determining unit that specifying information about the electronic timepiece based on the actual image, an information display unit that displays information about the electronic timepiece. The model determining unit determines whether the actual image is influenced by external light based on the actual image, where the influence of the external light occurs when the actual image is obtained and inhibits identification of the information about the electronic timepiece.

Abstract: The emotion assessment apparatus has a detecting unit detecting heartbeat information including the heart rate of a subject, an emotion assessment unit assessing whether the emotion of the subject is a negative emotion or a positive emotion based on the heartbeat information, a counting unit counting the number of heart rate variations within a predetermined time period, an emotional expression assessment unit assessing the mental state of the subject based on the number of heart rate variations, and using the assessment results from the emotion assessment unit to assess the mental state, and an output unit outputting the assessment results from the emotional expression assessment unit.

Abstract: A detection device detecting changes in positive and negative feelings related to mild cognitive impairment is provided. This detection device includes: a detector detecting heartbeat information of a subject; a calculating unit calculating a maximum Lyapunov exponent from the heartbeat information, the maximum Lyapunov exponent indicating to what extent heartbeat intervals vary; a feeling determination unit determining whether the subject has a negative feeling with brain fatigue, anxiety or depression, or a positive feeling without brain fatigue, anxiety and depression, based on the maximum Lyapunov exponent; a change determination unit determining whether the positive or negative feeling of the subject has changed, based on frequency of occurrence of the negative or positive feeling in a predetermined period; and an output unit outputting a result of determination by the change determination unit.

Abstract: A titania porous body is entirely formed of titania. The titania porous body includes a titania framework, first pores, and second pores. The titania framework forms a three-dimensional network structure. The first pores are opening portions of the three-dimensional structure. The second pores are disposed in a surface of the titania framework. Such a titania porous body is also referred to as a titania monolith.

Abstract: Provided is a cosmetic having a unique soft and springy feeling in use, capable of stably formulating therein a UV protector, and providing a light feeling in use such that the cosmetic is separated into pieces when applied to the skin. The present invention relates to a cosmetic characterized by comprising (A) a (meth)acrylic acid/an alkyl (meth)acrylate/a (meth)acrylic acid-POE monoalkyl ether ester copolymer, (B) a UV protector, (C) a nonionic surfactant, and (D) a higher alcohol.

Abstract: A subject who dances is motivated to participate in dancing by presenting an ideal dance video to the subject in the form of a virtual video of the subject.

Abstract: A detection device and a detection system that detect a whistle sound to estimate the distance to the sound source are provided.

Abstract: Described here are transition metal-catalyzed enantioselective arylation and vinylation reactions of ?-substituted lactams, such as ?-lactams. The use of various electrophiles and ligands are described, and result in the construction of ?-quaternary centers in good yields (up to 91% yield) and high enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).
