Abstract: An information processing apparatus acquires a menu having a schedule on actions including housework; outputs information to recommend performing each of action items for a scheduled time; acquires, in automatic execution of a device or an installation, first information indicative of whether the device or the installation is in completion of preparation for the automatic execution, or second information indicative of whether the automatic execution of the device or the installation is suspended; and outputs, on the basis of the acquired first information or second information, result information indicative of an achievement level of the menu.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a fuel oil for diesel engines, which is reduced in the discharges of particulate matters (PM) and carbon dioxide (CO) in exhaust gas upon combustion while retaining a high cetane number, characterized in that the fuel oil composition comprises a mineral oil as a principal component; and(a) 2-13 wt % of one or more dialkyl phthalate compounds represented by the chemical formula (1), and(b) 2-13 wt % of one or more glycol ether compounds represented by the chemical formula (2); andthe total content of said components (a) and (b) is from 4 to 15 wt %.

Abstract: The present invention provides a linear polyolefin wherein one of the terminals of linear polypropylene or linear ethylene-propylene random copolymer is modified with a (meth)acrylic derivative unit or styrene derivative unit to give a substantially monodipersed system. The feature thereof consists in such a linear polyolefin in which the terminal of linear polypropylene or linear ethylene-propylene random copolymer obtained by living polymerization is modified with a (meth)acrylic derivative unit or styrene derivative unit. For the production thereof, there are used methacrylic acid chloride, acrylic acid chloride, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, etc. as the (meth)acrylic derivative, and divinylbenzene, etc. as the styrene derivative.
