Abstract: A satisfaction level calculation device (10) acquires environmental data detected by each of a plurality of environment sensors (20). The satisfaction level calculation device (10) sets each of a plurality of indexes about a space environment as a target index. The satisfaction level calculation device (10) calculates, from the environmental data acquired by measuring the target index, an individual satisfaction level, which is a satisfaction level of the target index. The satisfaction level calculation device (10) calculates, from the individual satisfaction level about each of the plurality of indexes, an overall satisfaction level, which is an overall satisfaction level about the space environment.

Abstract: A piston for an internal combustion engine comprises a crown, a skirt section extending from the crown, and an oil ring groove. The piston further comprises a drain hole and a cooling channel. The drain hole extends from the oil ring groove to an inside space of the piston. The cooling channel is formed in the crown at a level above the oil ring groove, and arranged to covey a cooling oil. The cooling channel includes a channel segment which is located near the drain hole and which is formed to have a sectional shape avoiding the drain hole.

Abstract: A communication device performing wireless communication with another communication device includes a private value generating unit, a calculating unit, and an encryption key generating unit is provided. The private value generating unit generates a first private value to be kept secret from outside parties. The calculating unit performs a predetermined calculation using the first private value and two known preset values to determine a first public value to be transmitted to the other communication device. The encryption key generating unit performs the predetermined calculation using the first private value, a second public value transmitted from the other communication device, and one of the two preset values to generate an encryption key used in encrypted communication with the other communication device. The second public value is determined by performing the predetermined calculation using a second private value to be kept secret from outside parties and the two preset values.

Abstract: A mobile phone generates respective thumbnail image data of a plurality of original image data obtained by a user in an image pickup unit with a continuous photographing form, and temporarily stores in a first memory together with the original image data. The mobile phone then displays an overview of the thumbnail image data on a display unit and, immediately thereafter, can continuously display the plurality of original image data on the display unit. The user can determine whether to store the data or not corresponding to a state of playback thereof. When the user directs to store the original image data, the original image data is permanently stored in a second memory.
