Abstract: An information processing device is disclosed including a processor that controls progress of a game in which a plurality of players can participate simultaneously based on operation inputs at a plurality of game terminals. The plurality of game terminals includes a leader terminal and a member terminal. The information processing device further includes memory connected to the processor and that manages one of the plurality of game terminals as a host terminal. The processor causes the memory to set the leader terminal as the host terminal. The processor inspects communication quality of the host terminal during execution of the game. When the leader terminal is the host terminal and the communication quality satisfies a predetermined condition, the processor causes the memory to set the member terminal as the host terminal, without changing the leader player.

The terminal electrode includes a receiving portion to which the central conductor is welded. A weld nugget portion that is produced when the central conductor is welded and the receiving portion are welded to each other.

Abstract: Provided herein is a peptide composition that is highly stable and can be stored long term, said composition containing one or more types of peptides having an amino acid sequence represented by any of SEQ ID Nos. 1-5, or a peptide in which one or two of the amino acids of the abovementioned peptides are independent and may be substituted, deleted or added, and saccharides and an inorganic salt.

Abstract: A managed article that allows an engraved code to be detected. The engraved code including a plurality of dot dented portions is formed on a managed article. Each of the dot dented portions has a quadrilateral pyramid shape with a coating layer formed on a prior stage dented portion (15) having a quadrilateral pyramid shape. Corner dented portions (25) dented at acute angles outward along a diagonal direction are formed at four corner positions of an opening peripheral edge portion (22) of the prior stage dented portion. This configuration leads to detection of the dot dented portion as a quadrilateral dot. In addition, the present configuration allows a coating material to be introduced into the corner dented portions at the time of the coating, thereby contributing to preventing or reducing inward projection of the coating layer at the corner positions of the dot dented portion.

Abstract: A coil component including a core, first metal terminals, second metal terminals and a wire. The first metal terminals and second metal terminals have mounting portions provided above the mounting surface and aligned above the mounting surface. One of the mounting portions of the first metal terminals has a first end surface facing one of the mounting portions of the second metal terminals and a second end surface other than the first end surface, and the first end surface has a chopped trace where surface roughness is higher than surface roughness of the second end surface.

Abstract: Provided is a managed article that allows an engraved code to be excellently detected. An engraved code 11including a plurality of dot dented portions 15 is forced: on a managed article 10. The engraved code 11 includes. An opening peripheral edge portion 22 of each of the dot dented portions 15 has a quadrilateral shape. This configuration leads to detection of the dot dented portion as a quadrilateral dot. Therefore, this configuration allows the engraved code to be excellently detected.

Abstract: A metal terminal where a connecting portion has a receiving portion which receives a wire and a contact segment which extends from the receiving portion by way of a bending scheduled portion is prepared. By applying heat and pressure in a state where the wire is placed on the receiving portion for temporarily fixing the wire, the wire is adhered to the receiving portion using a molten or softened insulating resin coating as an adhesive agent. Next, the connecting portion is bent by way of the bending scheduled portion such that the contact segment faces the receiving portion by way of the wire and the contact segment is brought into contact with the wire. Next, by irradiating a laser beam to a portion of the metal terminal, the wire and the metal terminal are welded to each other.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a coil component including a step of welding a wire to a metal terminal by laser welding capable of making positional displacement of the wire only minimally occur. As a metal terminal, a metal terminal having a connecting portion on which a positioning groove for receiving and positioning a portion of the wire is formed is prepared. The wire is temporarily fixed to the connecting portion in a state where the wire is positioned by being fitted in the positioning groove, and the wire and the metal terminal are welded to each other by irradiating a laser beam. The positioning groove is preferably formed into a V shape in cross section.
