Abstract: A management device includes: an application manager that manages a set of application-related information related to target applications subject to management. A first information acquisitor acquires a first information transmitted from a terminal in response to that any target application included in the target applications executed by the terminal. A first information notifier transmits, to the terminal, a second information upon receipt of a request based on a first target application executed by the terminal. A second information indicates at least one target application for which the first information has not been acquired from the terminal by the first information acquisitor. A reward processor performs a reward-granting process, based on that a second target application, included in the at least one target application which is indicated by the second information transmitted by the first information notifier, has been executed by the terminal or has become executable by the terminal.

As a component of the composition, a triazine compound having a structure in which an optionally substituted monocyclic aromatic group(s) or an optionally substituted condensed aromatic group(s) is/are bonded to the triazine ring via an amino group, and, as a solvent, triethylene glycol dimethyl ether are used in combination.

Abstract: A management device that acquires a first information, which has been transmitted from a terminal in response to a first target application being executed in the terminal, acquires from the first target application a second information, which represents a second target application installed in the terminal, manages an install information based on the first and second information, and transmits to the terminal a third information, based on the install information managed by the install information manager. The third information includes information which indicates at least one target application for which install information with respect to the terminal is not managed by the information manager.

Abstract: An offset cancel circuit includes a first amplifying section, a second amplifying section, a third resistor connected between a non-inverting input terminal of the first amplifying section and a non-inverting input terminal of the second amplifying section, and a current source. In the offset cancel circuit, the current source causes a constant current to flow through the third resistor to cancel an offset voltage from output signals of first and second amplifying sections, the constant current corresponding to the offset voltage contained in first and second output signals output from a bridge resistance type sensor.

The charge pump is operated in an operation mode including a high-voltage outputting mode, a low-voltage outputting mode, and a relay mode.

The control unit changes the operation mode of the charge pump by relay transition from the high-voltage outputting mode through the relay mode to the low-voltage outputting mode when a voltage lower command is given during a period when the operation mode of the charge pump is in the high-voltage outputting mode.

Abstract: There are stored in a database stored in a host server (12) of a server system (10), a portable phone terminal ID, a player ID, a card ID, and individual information in association with one another. The card ID is identical to a card ID stored in a card (28) carried by a player. A course data set contained in the individual information specifies an order and names of music pieces to be played by a game device (18) capable of communicating with the game server system (10). A player uses a portable information terminal (26) to execute an application to specify a card ID and generate a course data set, the generated course data set is registered in the database together with a portable telephone terminal ID of the portable information terminal (26), as individual information corresponding to the card ID. When a player inserts his/her own card (28) in a game device (18), the game device (18) transmits to the game device (18) a course data set corresponding to the card ID by accessing host server (12).
