Abstract: The server of a communication system determines a communication growth level that is the level of growth of communication between one user and another user based on the cumulative count of mail send/receive events, and stores the determined growth level in the communication growth level Data Base. When the server receives a profile view request to view the profile of user A from the terminal of user B, the server determines the range of profile information to be opened for user B out of the profile of user A, based on the communication growth level of the pair of user A and user B stored in the communication growth level Data Base.

Abstract: A user information managing method, an application distributing method, a user information managing server, an application distributing server, a user information managing program, and an application distributing program to allow the application provider to easily manage the user information even if distribution of applications is outsourced to a third party are provided. The user information managing server for managing user information of a user using the application providing service includes an authenticating part for authenticating the user terminal in response to a request made from the user terminal to use the application, and a distribution requesting part for requesting, based on the result obtained from the authentication part, to the outsourced third party the distribution of the applications to the user terminal by transmitting a distribution request to the outsourced third party.

Abstract: A pipeline beads mill has a dispersion chamber, a first feeding port for feeding a material to be treated into the dispersion chamber, a second feeding port for feeding a dispersion media into the dispersion chamber, a tubular outer stator disposed in the dispersion chamber, and a tubular inner stator disposed in the outer stator in spaced-apart relation thereto to form a treatment gap therebetween for receiving the dispersion media and the material to be treated. The inner stator has an outflow port in communication with the treatment gap. A tubular rotor is disposed in the dispersion chamber and partitions the treatment gap into an outer gap portion and an inner gap portion. A rotationally driven shaft rotates the rotor to displace the dispersion media so as to disperse the material to be treated. The rotor has a circulation port for permitting circulation of dispersion media between the outer gap portion and the inner gap portion of the treatment gap during rotation of the drive rotor.

Abstract: In the setting step of an e-mail sending/receiving method, a processing start condition representing a condition under which a receiving e-mail communication apparatus starts received mail processing is set by a sending e-mail communication apparatus. In the sending step, the set processing start condition is added to e-mail, and the e-mail is sent from the sending e-mail communication apparatus to the receiving e-mail communication apparatus. In the receiving step, the e-mail sent from the sending e-mail communication apparatus is received by the receiving e-mail communication apparatus. In the monitoring step, the status of the receiving e-mail communication apparatus or the status of another specific terminal apparatus is monitored.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward realizing the distribution of advertisements that can attract the attention of users to advertisements and thus maximize the effect of the advertisements. A matching table stores correspondence information for linking advertisement information to events that are to be reported to user terminals. The event recognition unit of a server terminal recognizes the occurrence of an event that is to be reported to a user terminal, and a matching unit refers to the matching table and specifies the advertisement information that has been linked to the event that has been recognized. A distribution control unit, instead of performing a process of reporting the recognized event to the user terminal by way of the communication network, fetches the specified advertisement information from an advertisement storage unit and transmits the specified advertisement information to the user terminal by way of the communication network.

Abstract: An immersion-type dispersing apparatus comprises a body, a tubular outer stator connected to the body, and a tubular inner stator disposed in the tubular outer stator and forming with the tubular outer stator an annular treatment gap for containing a dispersion medium. A rotor extends into the annular treatment gap and separates the annular treatment gap into an outer gap portion and an inner gap portion. A drive shaft is mounted for rotation to rotate the rotor. An axial flow shaft extends into the inner stator for rotation therein. Axial flow blades are mounted on the axial flow shaft for rotation therewith to generate a circulation flow for circulating a material to be treated into and out of the treatment gap. A circulation port is formed in the rotor and communicates the inner gap portion and the outer gap portion of the treatment gap to permit the material to be treated and the dispersing medium to flow to and from the inner and outer gap portions of the treatment gap.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for extruding a highly viscous fluid from a tank. A pressing member having an air flow path is disposed in the tank containing the highly viscous fluid and having a discharge outlet for discharging the highly viscous fluid. Air in the tank which is present between the pressing member and the highly viscous fluid is removed through the air flow path of the pressing member by moving the pressing member into the tank until the pressing member contacts the highly viscous fluid. The highly viscous fluid is then extruded from the outlet of the tank by pressing the pressing member against the highly viscous fluid. Thereafter, air is introduced through the air flow path of the pressing member into a region of the tank between the pressing member and the discharge outlet of the tank, and the air is then pressurized and ejected through the discharge outlet of the tank.
