Abstract: A user information managing method, an application distributing method, a user information managing server, an application distributing server, a user information managing program, and an application distributing program to allow the application provider to easily manage the user information even if distribution of applications is outsourced to a third party are provided. The user information managing server for managing user information of a user using the application providing service includes an authenticating part for authenticating the user terminal in response to a request made from the user terminal to use the application, and a distribution requesting part for requesting, based on the result obtained from the authentication part, to the outsourced third party the distribution of the applications to the user terminal by transmitting a distribution request to the outsourced third party.

Abstract: An information delivery system includes terminals receiving data via a satellite-communication system, and a user center having a destination-conversion table which lists a satellite-system receiver ID with respect to each ground-network address of the terminals, and, upon receiving a request for data delivery via an intra-network, obtaining satellite-system receiver IDs from ground-network addresses indicated as destinations of the data delivery by referring to the destination-conversion table so as to deliver requested data and a reception-control program to the destinations via the satellite-communication system. The terminals use the reception-control program to check the data-reception conditions when receiving the requested data and the reception-control program, and send a request for a repeat of the data delivery to the user center via the intra-network if the data-reception conditions are not satisfactory.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing cyclosporin A and/or C which is characterized by culturing a cyclosporin A and/or C-producing strain of microorganism belonging to the genus Nectria (e.g. Nectria sp. F-4908) and recovering cyclosporin A and/or C from the resulting cultured broth.

Abstract: A transparent gas-barrier multilayer structure comprising (A) at least one layer of a polyamide composition comprising (a) 30 to 80 parts by weight of a first polyamide composed of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid as a main acid component and an aliphatic diamine as a main diamine component and (b) 70 to 20 parts by weight of a second polyamide composed of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid as a main acid component and m-xylylenediamine as a main diamine component, the total amount of the first polyamide and the second polyamide being 100 parts by weight, and (B) at least one layer of a thermoplastic resin other than the polyamide composition, said at least one layer (A) being bonded to said at least one layer (B).

Abstract: A gas-barrier multilayered structure comprising (A) at least one layer of a copolyamide composed of (a) a dicarboxylic acid component composed of 55 to 70 mole % of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid component and 45 to 30 mole % of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid component consisting substantially of 20 to 30 mole % of isophthalic acid and 5 to 20 mole % of terephthalic acid, and (b) a diamine component composed substantially of a m-xylylenediamine component, and (B) at least one layer of a thermoplastic resin other than the copolyamide.

Abstract: A sheet of a cross-linkable and foamable polyolefin resin is thermally treated on an endless conveyor belt formed of a plain weave wire net. A plurality of parallel, spaced apart rolls are disposed in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the conveyor belt runs for supporting engagement and rolling contact with the conveyor belt to maintain the flatness of the conveyor belt. The belt is supported to prevent lateral and vertical displacement.
