Abstract: A water-absorbent carrier for moist heat sterilization can be used in a narrow space and does not have a risk of generating foreign matter. The water-absorbent carrier is obtained by embedding a water-absorbent substance in a synthetic resin. The water-absorbent carrier can be manufactured by impregnating the water-absorbent substance with a water-soluble substance, drying the water-absorbent substance, embedding the water-absorbent substance in a thermoplastic synthetic resin, and washing the water-absorbent substance to remove the water-soluble substance. Alternatively, the water-absorbent carrier can be manufactured by dispersing a water-insoluble synthetic resin in a dispersion medium, mixing the water-absorbent substance in the dispersion medium, pouring the mixture into a mold, and volatilizing the dispersion medium. A medical article to be sterilized includes the water-absorbent carrier packaged in a closed space.

Abstract: The event of [Probability that the two-parts-become-one]=1.0 is “Two-parts-are-one password”. The event of probability<<1.0 is “Two-parts-are-not-one password”. Even if a password of the service side leaks, it is harmless. The maintenance cost of the password is unnecessary. There exists the decomposition point of responsibility within “Two-parts-are-one password” itself so that it becomes disadvantageous to bring up a lawsuit. No password file and no password backup required in an authentication server segment. The core that has produced these innovative effects is the implementation of Split Knowledge and Dual Control of an active key data; it satisfies PCI DSS version 1.2.1 for the first time in the world.
