  • Publication number: 20230367909
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a communication unit that communicates with an external terminal, and a controller that, when receiving release instruction information instructing release of a function restriction mode from an external terminal in a state in which a usable function is restricted based on transition instruction information received from a predetermined external terminal and instructing a transition to the function restriction mode, controls release of the function restriction mode based on a result of determining as to whether the predetermined external terminal that has transmitted the transition instruction information and the external terminal that has transmitted the release instruction information match each other.

  • Patent number: 8420865
    Abstract: The invention provides a novel peroxide scavenger comprising a phosphine compound represented by general formula [I]: wherein Z1 and Z2 each represents a cyclic group; Ar represents an arylene group; R represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group; Y represents phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), or bismuth (Bi); and R1, R2, and R3 each represents a cyclic group, particularly a peroxide scavenger that can scavenge peroxides such as reactive oxygen species which are generated in mitochondria upon exposure to oxidative stress and localized in mitochondria. The phosphine compound of the invention is oxidized by the peroxides localized in mitochondria to increase the fluorescence intensity, whereby the peroxides can be scavenged.
