Abstract: To provide an SOx concentration detection device that can detect the SOx concentration in exhaust gas without using a dedicated sensor. As shown in FIG. 4, the current value that flows when a voltage in the limiting current region is applied stays at a constant value (limiting current value) regardless of the elapsed time. On the other hand, the current value that flows when a voltage in the overcurrent region is applied decreases with the lapse of time and approaches the limiting current value 30 seconds after the start of application of the voltage. In this embodiment, the current value difference is defined as “SO2 reduction current,” and the SO2 concentration around the sensor is detected from an integrated value of the SO2 reduction current.

Abstract: In order to solve a problem that an advertiser cannot know whether an advertisement was actually watched and listened to by a user of a terminal, a communication system of the present invention includes a server and a terminal. The server is a server which sends predetermined first information to the terminal, and which, when sending the first information, sends also second information which prompts the input of a matter related to the first information, and which outputs a first predetermined signal if a response to the second information, that is sent by the terminal, corresponds to a predetermined response. The terminal is a terminal which displays the received first information and the received second information on a screen of the terminal, and then outputs the inputted data as the response to the second information.

Abstract: An image reading device starts executing a reading process before a sheet reaches a reading position, and executes the reading process subsequently and repeatedly. A partial image is acquired each time the reading process is executed. Each time one partial image is acquired, the image reading device determines a number of pixels awarded to the one partial image; and determines an intensity awarded to the one partial image. The image reading device decides that at least one of the two successively-acquired partial images corresponds to an end of the sheet when the two partial images satisfy the conditions (A) and (B). Condition (A): the determined number of pixels is changed between the two successively-acquired partial images. Condition (B): the determined intensity is changed between the two successively-acquired partial images.
