Abstract: An information processing device includes processing circuitry and a storage. The storage is configured to store each of metadata and actual file data in file data in a different data block. File data that is to be newly stored in the storage is first file data. File data that has already been stored in the storage and is to be updated using the first file data is second file data. When the first file data has the same data size as the second file data, the processing circuitry is configured to update actual file data of the second file data using data to which information on an updated time is added to actual file data of the first file data, without updating metadata of the second file data.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a composite member including an aluminum member and a resin member that are bonded to each other, the method including: performing blasting on a surface of the aluminum member; modifying the surface of the aluminum member into aluminum hydroxide, the modifying including causing the surface of the aluminum member having undergone blasting to react with water vapor by applying a pressure exceeding an atmospheric pressure; and directly bonding the resin member to the surface of the aluminum member modified to aluminum hydroxide.

Abstract: An information processor and an information processing method are provided. Processing circuitry receives a data piece from another controller to manage a storage device provided in a vehicle. The data piece includes a character string. The character string includes a specific character and one or more start direction characters. The one or more start direction characters are one or more characters positioned in a start direction relative to the specific character in the character string. The processing circuitry writes only the one or more start direction characters to the storage device to update a stored content of the storage device.

Abstract: A centrifugal air blower includes a fan; and a scroll casing. The scroll casing includes: a sidewall covering the fan from an axial direction of a rotation axis, the sidewall having a suction opening for sucking air; a discharge opening; a tongue portion for guiding the airflow to the discharge opening; a peripheral wall surrounding the fan from a radial direction of the rotation axis; and a bell mouth formed along the suction opening of the sidewall. The bell mouth includes upstream and downstream ends, with the upstream end being an end portion on an upstream side in a direction of flow of the air passing through the suction opening, and the downstream end being an end portion on a downstream side in the direction of flow of the air.

Abstract: A prophylactic or therapeutic agent for a myopathy, including a miR-33b inhibitor, preferably an antisense oligonucleotide against miR-33b, as an effective component.

Abstract: In a centrifugal air-sending device, a first area portion has a first vertex that is an intersection point of a curve line formed by a tongue portion and a bisector of a first connection straight line connecting a winding start portion and an end of a discharge portion. A second area portion has a second vertex that is an intersection point of the curve line formed by the tongue portion and a bisector of a second connection straight line connecting the winding start portion and the end of the discharge portion. When a virtual straight line connecting a rotational axis and the first vertex is defined as a first straight line, and a virtual straight line connecting the rotational axis and the second vertex is defined as a second straight line, the second straight line is longer than the first straight line.
