Abstract: A communication device may include: a memory configured to store management information in which, for each of a plurality of OIDs of a MIB, the OID and a setting value are associated with each other; and a controller, wherein the controller may be configured to: receive a setting command which conforms to TCP; write the setting value included in the setting command to the management information in association with the OID included in the setting command; and send a response command which conforms to the TCP. In a case where the setting command including a first OID and a first setting value is received, the controller may be configured to: write the first setting value to the management information in association with the first OID after the response command has been sent, and send the response command before the first setting value is written to the management information.

Abstract: A washing machine includes: a washing tub in which clothes are stored; and a water supply mechanism for supplying water into the washing tub through a water supply path, the water being supplied from a water supply source. The water supply mechanism includes a water supply valve for opening and closing the water supply path, a water filling case for filling water into the washing tub, and a fine bubble generation device provided between the water supply valve and the water filling case and for generating fine bubbles.

Abstract: A secure data collection system includes a centralized management server, a first data collection system including a plurality of computing devices communicating with each other and a first communication interface connected to a public network, and a second data collection system including a plurality of computing devices communicating with each other and a second communication interface connected to the public network. The management server is connected to the public network and configured to enhance security of the first data collected and transmitted through the first communication interface by the first data collection system and second data collected and transmitted through the second communication interface by the second data collection system while converting the first data and the second data into composite data.

Abstract: The invention provides innerwear with a structure in which the body fabric and the hem are joined together without sewing and which has outstanding effects in discrimination as products and in showing individuality for users. The innerwear includes a body fabric 2 made of a cylindrical double material with a body size and a hem 3 disposed at the end of the body fabric 2 and having apparently different texture therefrom, the body fabric 2 and the hem 3 being joined to each other without sewing. The body fabric 2 partly has a heterogeneously knitted part 5 with different functions, appearance, and texture therefrom by differentiating the way of knitting in the consecutive knitting process.

Abstract: A payment adjustment apparatus having an interface that receives an electronically watermarked image, in which an electronic-value information is embedded, extracts the electronic-value information out of the electronically watermarked image by an extracting means, adjusts a payment by subtracting an amount of a price of a purchased article from a value in the electronic-value information by a payment adjusting means, if the amount of the value in the electronic-value information is greater than the price of the purchased article. Thereafter, an updating means of the apparatus updates the contents of the electronic-value information received by the receiving means based on the balance resulted from the payment adjustment performed by the payment adjusting means.
