Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a cylinder liner or a cylinder bore, which can reduce not only friction on a sliding surface but also oil consumption. In a piston sliding direction of the cylinder bore, grooves of a second sliding region positioned on the side of crankcase have a higher groove area ratio at a depth of 0.3 ?m than grooves of a first sliding region positioned on the side of combustion chamber, and the groove area ratio is in a specific range, whereby friction and oil consumption can be reduced.

Abstract: An information processing method includes: specifying a number of data of data respectively falling within one or a plurality of ranges respectively corresponding to a plurality of granularities stored in a memory in association with a specific identifier among a plurality of data; and determining a granularity of data of when outputting information regarding the specific identifier according to whether the number of data respectively falling within all the ranges corresponding to a same granularity in the plurality of granularities is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: An activity management device includes a data acquirer, an inferrer, an information acquirer, and an outputter. The data acquirer acquires in-residence data relating to a living environment of a user and acquired in a residence of the user. The inferrer infers a past or future change event in the lifestyle pattern of the user based on the in-residence data acquired by the data acquirer. The information acquirer acquires recommendation information which is information corresponding to the change event inferred by the inferrer and which prompts the user to perform an activity according to the change in the lifestyle pattern. The outputter outputs the recommendation information acquired by the information acquirer.

Abstract: A no signal period detecting unit (10) detects a no signal period in which no receiver signal is received. A capture unit (7) captures a synchronous timing of the receiver signal on the basis of a correlation value which is worked out by a delayed correlation computing unit (6). Further, the capture unit (7) cancels the capture of the synchronous timing in the case where this no signal period is detected by the no signal period detecting unit (10).
