Abstract: The subject is to provide a method and apparatus for producing hypochlorous acid solution of high concentration in a simple and easy manner without generating chlorine gas in principle. In the present invention to solve the above problem, an acidic aqueous solution with a pH of 1.5 to 5 and an aqueous solution containing hypochlorous acid aqueous solution are separately and independently prepared respectively, and both aqueous solutions are mixed to obtain hypochlorous acid water with a pH of 5 to 7.

Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing a hypochlorous acid aqueous solution by which a weakly acidic hypochlorous acid aqueous solution having a pH of about 3.5-7 can be obtained without substantially generating chlorine gas even immediately after regeneration or even with a new weakly acidic cation exchange resin. In a method for preparing a hypochlorous acid aqueous solution wherein an aqueous solution of hypochlorite is brought into contact with a weakly acidic cation exchanger to exchange a cation constituting the hypochlorite with hydrogen ions to increase the concentration of hypochlorous acid in the aqueous solution, a neutral salt solution of a strong acid and a strong base in an amount that may obtain the hypochlorous acid aqueous solution having a pH of at least 3.

Abstract: A portable information terminal stores first function list information indicating the contents of functions installed on a first vehicle. When a user carrying the terminal gets in a second vehicle before driving, the second vehicle acquires the first function list information from the terminal. The second vehicle compares the acquired first function list information with second function list information indicating the contents of functions installed on the second vehicle. The second vehicle acquires a functional difference between itself and the first vehicle and notifies the user of the difference.

Abstract: A vehicle information notification device for notifying vehicle information to a driver of a vehicle with a notification element, the device includes: a first-ride determination element for determining whether it is a first ride of the vehicle for the driver; and a controller for notifying the vehicle information via the notification element when the first-ride determination element determines that it is the first ride. By using the above device, the vehicle information is notified to the driver when the driver rides on the vehicle for the first time. Thus, anxiety of the driver is reduced.

Abstract: A method of expanding a mid-rise building to a high-rise building, where a quake-absorbing foundation (5) for a high-rise building is newly provided outside the foundation of an existing mid-rise building (19) support members (6) are stood on the newly provided quake-absorbing foundation, and new dwelling floors (10) are fabricated above the existing building using the support members. After the completion of the new dwelling floors, upper floors of the existing mid-rise building are dismantled and removed and remaining individual floors of the building are remodeled sequentially Thus, with the dwellers living in the building, a mid-rise building can be expanded to a high-rise building having excellent quake-resistance.

Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire comprises a carcass comprising an outermost ply and an inner next ply, each made of organic fiber cords, a belt comprising a radially innermost ply and a radially outer next ply, each made of steel cords, a first damping rubber layer disposed between the outermost carcass ply and the inner next carcass ply, and a second damping rubber layer disposed between the outermost carcass ply and the radially innermost belt ply, the first damping rubber layer has an axial width of 0.8 to 1.2 times the axial width of the radially innermost belt ply and a thickness of 0.5 to 2.0 mm, and the second damping rubber layer has an axial width of 0.8 to 1.2 times the axial width of the radially innermost belt ply and a thickness (T2) of 0.5 to 2.0 mm, thereby the running noise is reduced without sacrificing running performance.
