Abstract: The present disclosure promotes distribution of sensor data among a plurality of business operators. A controller that an information processing system according to the present disclosure includes collects first data including a plurality of items and personal information from mobile bodies belonging to a first business operator. The controller converts the first data to second data not being usable to identify individuals. The controller provides data in a range decided based on content of a predetermined data use contract, among the second data, to a second business operator. The controller calculates a consideration for the data that is to be paid by the second business operator, based on a data use record of the second business operator.

Abstract: A microcatheter is characterized as having a hardness-transition section along an entire or partial length an outer layer, hardness of the outer layer varying in the hardness-transition section so as to increase from the distal tip to the proximal tip along the lengthwise direction, due to arrangement of a second forming material in a stripe pattern extending in the lengthwise direction of the outer layer in the first forming material including a forming material formable into the outer layer so that a surface area ratio of the two forming materials in a circumferential direction of a cross section varies along the lengthwise direction for the first forming material and the second forming material.
