Abstract: A present server transmits to a second user terminal attribute information authentication request information for requesting authentication of attribute information registered by a first user when a predetermined request is received from a first user terminal. Also, the server registers authenticated information in association with the attribute information of the first user when the authentication information, which indicates that the attribute information registered by the first user has been authenticated, has been received. When a request is made to view the attribute information of the first user, the existence of the authenticated information is determined, and if the authenticated information is registered, attribute authentication display information is generated and transmitted so as to be visually and identifiably displayed on the user terminal to indicate that authenticated information exists.

Abstract: A file is created in which digital data and a certificate are integrated and content authentication for the digital data and the certificate are performed simultaneously.

Abstract: To grant a point according to an action contributed to a community to make it possible to receive discount by the point when trading a product between members of the community. A device for managing member-to-member distribution point 1 receives shop opening information containing a Web page from a member terminal 2a to provide a sales site. On the other hand, upon receiving posting of a diary and the like from a member terminal 2b, the device 1 grants a point value according to the action of the member to record point balance for each member into a database. When a member purchases a product at a sales site, the member can receive discount according to the degree of human relationship among the members. The device for managing member-to-member distribution point 1 subtracts a point value corresponding to the discount amount from the point balance in the database.

Abstract: A spiral double-tube structure including an inner tube for introducing a solvent vapor resulting from vaporization within a distillation still and an outer tube which a coolant gas cooled by an outdoor machine is passed through is disposed in a buffer tank; the solvent vapor is directly cooled from the surrounding area by the coolant gas with a large temperature difference and thus condensed into a liquid state; by means of an ejector, the liquid is mixed with the solvent suctioned from the buffer tank and returned into the buffer tank; since the solvent in the buffer tank is also directly cooled by the coolant gas, the cooling efficiency is high; accordingly, both the solvent vapor generated from the distillation still and the solvent in the buffer tank for reducing the pressure inside the distillation still can be efficiently cooled without using cooling water, and downsizing of the apparatus can also be attained.

The human relationships registering system comprises first data processing units 2 and 3 including sections for receiving personal data of a new member, and a second data processing unit including a section for storing the received personal data. The second data processing unit stores the personal data of the new member in correlation to an existing member when the existing member confirms the new member.

Abstract: A plug-in heater for hot curlers is constituted in the following manner: because the power plug can be positioned at the storage location, it is constituted to possess a compact size; in particular, because the power plug can be positioned at the protruding positions in two perpendicular directions (a rear-side protruding direction and a lower-side protruding direction), the range for inserting the power plug can be expanded even when the electrical outlet is located at different locations at the housing facilities.

Abstract: A member whose membership is registered in a system causes a venue terminal installed on the premises of the service provided by the contractor participating in the system to read a member card, whereupon a system management computer registers a service purchase history for each member formed by mutually associating a member ID and a service ID. When a request is made via a member terminal to the management computer for the commemorative printed article to be purchased, output information formed by integrating service-related information including an official photograph managed by the contractor for the service registered in the purchase history together with individual information including at least the member's name is generated and transmitted to a printing device.

Abstract: An advertisement transmitted from an advertisement distributor terminal and advertisement distribution request information are mutually associated and stored in an advertisement distribution management device. Further, user information transmitted from the user terminal is added with identification information, and stored in the advertisement distribution management device. Thereafter, the advertisement distribution management device acquires user identification information in response to a Web site reading requirement transmitted from the user terminal, and extracts all category information belonged to by advertisements the distribution of which are approved by the user with reference to a user information storing means. Moreover, one piece of category information is determined out of the category information. Furthermore, one advertisement is determined out of the advertisements that belong to the category information, and the advertisement is transmitted to the user terminal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel measurement method for system parameters of a 5-port junction used in a VNA (Vector Network Analyzer). A VNA is a device for measuring amplitude ratios and phase differences (S-parameters: scattering matrix elements) between incident waves and reflected waves of a DUT (Device Under Test), or between input waves and transmitted waves. What has been newly discovered is that for 5 ports, S-parameters can be expressed by a linear coupling using H and power difference ratios ({P(S)/P(0)}?1). It is possible to easily calculate parameter H using a minimum of three already known standards, and amount of calculation can be reduced compared to conventionally.
