Abstract: An in-vehicle device is configured to access a cloud via a communication unit, and includes: a controller that includes at least one physical core; a first unit configured to be operated by the controller and control a sensor to generate detection data; and a second unit configured to be operated by the controller and execute a process based on the detection data.

Abstract: An in-vehicle device includes a first controller and a second controller. The first controller includes at least one physical core for executing a first unit related to control of hardware and a second unit related to provision of a service. The second controller starts the first controller in response to occurrence of a start trigger. The first controller starts the first unit, and then starts the second unit when the first controller is started by the second controller. The first unit and the second unit are restarted when an abnormality of the first unit is detected by the second controller or an abnormality of the second unit is detected by the first unit. The first unit, the second unit and the second controller are restarted when an abnormality of the second controller is detected by the second controller.

Abstract: A chemical storage container enables easy installation of a chemical nozzle and a pressurized gas supply nozzle. The chemical storage container includes a metal can having a top opening, a chemical storage bag disposed in the metal can and an ejection member mounted to the chemical storage bag. The top opening of the metal can is closed by a lid to which a chemical nozzle and a pressurized gas supply nozzle are mounted. The chemical nozzle penetrates through the ejection member. A pressurized gas from the pressurized gas supply nozzle is supplied through the ejection member into a pressurization space formed between the metal can and the chemical storage bag.

Abstract: The present invention provides a double-stranded RNA which inhibits replication of influenza B viruses by RNA interference, in which the double-stranded RNA comprises an RNA having 19 to 25 nucleotides homologous with a part of an mRNA transcribed from a genomic RNA of the influenza B viruses and an antisense RNA thereof.

Abstract: A first node apparatus includes: ports; a storage device; and receiving, updating, and transmitting circuits. The storage device stores: information associating, with first identification information identifying a first frame, information distinguishing a first port having been used as a destination port when the first node apparatus has transmitted the first frame; and information associating, with each node apparatus, state information indicating whether frame transmission from each port is feasible. The receiving circuit receives, from a second node apparatus, a second frame including second identification information. When the second identification information is identical with the first, the updating circuit updates the state information associated with a node apparatus being a destination of the second frame to make the state information indicate frame transmission from the first port is not feasible.
