Abstract: The present invention provides a target substance transfer method, a crystal production method, a composition production method, and a target substance transfer device, which allow the concentration of a target substance to be increased easily and effectively. The target substance transfer method is a method for transferring a target substance 103 from a first phase 101 that is a liquid or solid phase containing the target substance 103 to a second phase 102 including: a phase approximation step of bringing the first phase 101 and the second phase 102 into close proximity; and a bubble collapse step of forming bubbles in the vicinity of a boundary between the first phase 101 and the second phase 102 and then causing the bubbles to collapse.

Abstract: A control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, wherein the internal combustion engine includes a fuel injection valve injecting fuel directly into a cylinder. The control apparatus includes an ECU. The ECU is configured to execute a divided injection control to inject fuel from the fuel injection valve by a plurality of partial lift injections. The ECU is configured to execute a division number reduction control when the value of a spray shape parameter representing spray shape fluctuation is greater than a division number reduction determination value. The division number reduction control is control to reduce the number of partial lift injections in one engine cycle and to lengthen an injection time of each of the partial lift injections.

Abstract: In an in-cylinder injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine, in which fuel is injected toward a cavity formed in a crown surface of a piston, when split injection for dividing and injecting the fuel for plural times is performed during a compression stroke, an arrival lift amount that is a maximum value of displacement of a valve body of a fuel injection valve during fuel injection is set as a larger value at least in a first period as a crank angle of the internal combustion engine approaches compression top dead center.

Abstract: State change means changes a state of an information processing apparatus between an unused state and a used state. First communication means automatically performs communication with another portable information processing apparatus. Second communication means automatically performs communication via an access point. Communication control means performs control such that the communication by the first communication means is preferentially performed when the information processing apparatus is in the unused state and the communication by the second communication means is preferentially performed when the information processing apparatus is in the used state.
