Abstract: A vehicle system includes an information storage, an information acquirer, a vehicle characteristics extractor, and a vehicle characteristics transmitter. The information storage stores vehicle information of sample vehicles in association with the sample vehicles. The vehicle information is obtained by combining a traveling location or a traveling environment, or both, with vehicle characteristics. The information acquirer acquires vehicle information of a target vehicle and either of both of a first traveling location and a first traveling environment for which vehicle characteristics for the target vehicle are lacking. The vehicle characteristics extractor determines a sample vehicle of which vehicle information matches the vehicle information of the target vehicle and extracts vehicle characteristics of the sample vehicle corresponding to either or both of the first traveling location and the first traveling environment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for preparing 2-methyl-N-(2?-methylbutyl)butanamide of the following formula (1): the process comprising: subjecting an ?-arylethyl-2-methylbutylamine compound of the following general formula (2): wherein Ar represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, to N-2-methylbutyrylation to form an N-?-arylethyl-2-methyl-N-(2?-methylbutyl)butanamide compound of the following general formula (3): wherein Ar is as defined above, and removing the ?-arylethyl group of the resulting compound (3) to form 2-methyl-N-(2?-methylbutyl)butanamide (1).

Abstract: A device implementing a system for preventing duplicate wireless transactions includes a wireless communication controller that is configured to receive a signal for conducting a wireless transaction with a wireless transaction terminal. The wireless communication controller is further configured to determine whether a transaction type of the wireless transaction is associated with a signal strength threshold. The wireless communication controller is further configured to measure a signal strength associated with the wireless transaction upon determining that the transaction type of the wireless transaction is associated with the signal strength threshold. The wireless communication controller is further configured to prevent the wireless transaction from completing when the transaction type of the wireless transaction is associated with the signal strength threshold and the measured signal strength fails to satisfy the signal strength threshold, otherwise allow the wireless transaction to complete.

Abstract: There is provided an electronic device including: a first antenna for wireless communication; a second antenna for near-field communication that forms a loop by being used together with the first antenna, at least a part of the second antenna being positioned at a back surface of a display region of a display; and a first filter that is provided in the first antenna or the second antenna, passes a signal of a frequency band used in the near-field communication to the first antenna, and blocks inflow of the signal of the frequency band used in the wireless communication into the second antenna.
