  • Patent number: 11924082
    Abstract: A policy control device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire an amount of communication of an accommodated user terminal from a relay device that notifies the amount of communication when the amount of communication exceeds a communication amount threshold value, a calculation unit configured to calculate a communication speed by using an amount of communication in a past fixed period of time including at least the amount of communication currently acquired by the acquisition unit, and calculate the communication amount threshold value based on the calculated communication speed, and a notification unit configured to notify the relay device of the communication amount threshold value calculated by the calculation unit.

  • Patent number: 11867109
    Abstract: A novel catalyst constituent material for combustion gas purification, which has an extremely good ratio of contact between each catalyst metal particle and an exhaust gas; and a catalyst device which uses this catalyst constituent material for combustion gas purification; and a method for producing this catalyst constituent material for combustion gas purification. The catalyst constituent obtained by mixing catalyst metal particles and a pore-forming material that disappears at high temperatures into a catalyst supporting material, which is a slurry containing fine ceramic particle. The pore-forming material also contains long fibers of cellulose nanofibers and/or short fibers of cellulose nanofibers.

  • Patent number: 9919593
    Abstract: A mount device includes an inner rod, a damper made of an elastic material to be mounted to the inner rod, and an outer cover to be mounted to the damper. The damper includes a plurality of projecting portions projecting radially outward from the inner rod and small-thickness portions thinner than the plurality of projecting portions in a radial direction. Spaces are formed radially outward of the small-thickness portions. The outer cover includes a plurality of contact surfaces to respectively come into contact with the plurality of projecting portions. The contact surfaces have a larger curvature than that of a circumscribed circle of the damper.
