  • Publication number: 20230008631
    Abstract: A product purchase system includes a first communication terminal carried by an advertising user, a second communication terminal provided to be movable with a vehicle, and a server. The first communication terminal sends advertisement product information indicating a product worn or held by the advertising user to the server. The second communication terminal sends a product search request including second position information and second time information to the server. The second position information indicates a position of the vehicle when a specific action performed by an occupant in the vehicle is detected while the vehicle is moving. The second time information indicates a clock time when the specific action is detected. The server extracts candidate product information from the advertisement product information, based on the second position information and the second time information. The server then sends the extracted candidate product information to the second communication terminal.

  • Patent number: 10405570
    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a tobacco raw material in which the green color of the tobacco raw material is maintained and a browning-involved enzyme included in tobacco leaves is deactivated. Specifically, a method of manufacturing a tobacco raw material is provided that includes a step for heating a tobacco leaf material, which has an a* value of 1.0 or less, the a* value being expressed by the L*a*b* method, and which has a moisture content of 8 wt % or less, at a temperature of 75° C. or higher and under a humidity-controlled environment so that the a* value is 1.0 or less and the content of the browning-involved enzyme is 0.1 U/g or less.

  • Patent number: 9822863
    Abstract: A differential case includes: two supported parts so supported that a differential case is rotatable around a central axis of the differential chamber; and a flange provided between the supported parts and projecting in an outer diameter direction, and welded with a ring gear. The flange includes a bearing surface and a rounded base disposed on one side of the differential case in an axial direction. The bearing surface is in contact with a surface, of the ring gear, disposed on opposite side of a tooth surface of the ring gear, and the rounded base is coupled in a continuous fashion to the bearing surface. A rounded part that disperses stress, generated at the rounded base by gear reaction force derived from the ring gear, is provided in a region between the flange and one of the supported parts disposed on the one side.

  • Patent number: 7951738
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for production of a zeolite separation membrane with satisfactory separation performance. The process for production of a zeolite separation membrane according to the invention is comprising: a seed crystal-attaching step in which: a sealed body (10), which is obtained by sealing both ends of a cylindrical porous body (11) with sealing members (12a, 12b), is immersed from the sealing member (12a) end into a suspension (22) containing zeolite seed crystals; the suspension (22) is allowed to permeate from the exterior of the porous body (11) to the interior thereof; the zeolite seed crystals are thereby attached to the porous body (11); and a seed crystal-attached porous body is obtained; and a zeolite membrane-forming step in which: the seed crystal-attached porous body is contacted with a reaction solution containing the raw material of a zeolite membrane; the zeolite membrane is formed on the porous body (11); and a zeolite separation membrane is obtained.

  • Patent number: 7798334
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a zeolite membrane by hydrothermal synthesis on the surface of a porous tubular support 3 with both ends open, by adding a reaction solution containing a silica source and an alumina source and the porous tubular support 3 into a lengthwise reaction container 1 longer than the porous tubular support 3 while placing the porous tubular support 3 vertically in the reaction container 1 and substantially apart from the inner surface of the reaction container 1, and immersing the porous tubular support 3 completely in the reaction solution so that the inside of the porous tubular support 3 is filled with the reaction solution; and heating the reaction solution under conditions of leaving the top and bottom ends of the porous tubular support 3 open, and an apparatus using thereof and zeolite tubular separation membranes thus obtained.

  • Publication number: 20080252972
    Abstract: [Problem to be Solved] The present inventions provide a polarizing film and a polarizing sheet of which the resistance for the response in the vertical direction against the direction for the extension. [Means to Solve the Problem] In a multi-layered polarizing sheet comprising a laminated body in which a polarizing layer consisting of a polarizing film is held between two transparent plastic materials and is adhered to them, the polarizing layer is produced by dyeing a film made of poly(vinyl alcohol) and the like having a weight average molecular weight of 150,000-500,000 and by extending it. The non-glaring product and polarizing sheet for a liquid crystal display are produced by using the multi-layered polarizing sheet.
