Abstract: A tire rental management apparatus according to the present disclosure includes an input interface configured to accept input of a usage area and/or a usage period of a tire as a condition regarding rental of the tire to a user, and a controller configured to determine a tire in accordance with the usage area and/or the usage period input to the input interface as a rental tire among a plurality of tires for rental.

Abstract: A tire theft monitoring system includes a transmitter attached to a tire and configured to transmit tire ID information, a second database configured to store the vehicle ID information of the vehicle and contact information of an owner of the vehicle in association with each other, and a monitoring apparatus mounted on a vehicle to be monitored, and the monitoring apparatus includes a reader configured to perform near field communication with the transmitter attached to the tire mounted on the vehicle to be monitored, to acquire the tire ID information, and a controller configured to, in a case where the reader cannot acquire the tire ID information, determine that the tire identified with the tire ID information has been stolen and make a notification to contact information stored in the second database in association with vehicle ID information of the vehicle to be monitored.

Abstract: A tire rental management apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a memory configured to store rental history of each of a plurality of tires for rental, and a controller configured to estimate remaining life of a tire on the basis of the rental history of the tire stored in the memory and determine a rental tire in accordance with a period during which a user desires to rent a tire and the estimated remaining life.

Abstract: A cognitive decline inhibitor or a learning ability improver is provided, which comprises, as an active ingredient, a liver hydrolysate having a lipid content of less than 2 mass % or a phosphatidylcholine content of less than 1 mass %.

Abstract: A negative photosensitive resin composition comprising an alkali-soluble resin or alkali-soluble monomer which has a photo-curability, a photopolymerization initiator, and an ink repellent agent which has a fluorine atom content of from 1 to 45 mass % and which is a partially hydrolyzed condensate of a hydrolyzable silane compound mixture containing a hydrolyzable silane compound having a hydrolyzable group and an organic group having a polyfluoroalkyl group which has an etheric oxygen atom; a cured resin film and partition walls formed by using the negative photosensitive resin composition; and an optical element having the partition walls located between a plurality of dots and their adjacent dots on a substrate surface.

Abstract: A transmission/reception system 1 includes a transmission apparatus 10A, and a reception apparatus 20A. The transmission apparatus 10A includes a first switch 101, a second switch 102, a first transistor 111, a second transistor 112, a first differential amplifier 121, and a second differential amplifier 122. The reception apparatus 20A includes a first transistor 211, a second transistor 212, a first differential amplifier 221, a second differential amplifier 222, a first resistor 231, a second resistor 232, and a reception unit 240.

Abstract: A charge potential distributed over a vehicle body resulting from the contact, separation, and friction between a tire and a road surface is detected by a detecting unit provided with a sensing electrode that is disposed on the external surface of the vehicle body, a reference electrode that is disposed apart from the external surface of the vehicle body with a space therebetween, and a sensor amplifier that senses a potential between the sensing electrode and the reference electrode as a signal and amplifies the signal. And the amplitude of the charge potential detected by the detecting unit is monitored by a data processing unit, thereby making it possible to accurately identify not only the state of the road surface but also an internal pressure state of the tire, a wear state of the tire, and the like during vehicular travel.
