Abstract: An antiviral agent is provided which can inactivate a wide range of viruses. Products that include such an antiviral agent are also provided. The present invention provides an antiviral agent that contains as an active ingredient a particle of at least one kind of iodide composed of iodine and an element shown in Period 4 to Period 6 and Group 8 to Group 15 of a periodic table or at least one kind of monovalent copper compound. The antiviral agent of the present invention can be designed at a higher degree of freedom in terms of its constituents as compared to conventional antiviral agents. In addition, the antiviral agent can readily exhibit and maintain its antiviral activity because it doesn't require any pretreatments or special washing processes.

Abstract: Degradation of a running wheel is detected without using a special sensor or the like. Degradation of a running wheel of a running vehicle that travels using the running wheel that is rotated by a running motor is detected. A difference between a velocity of the running wheel obtained based on a number of rotations of the running wheel and a ground speed of the running vehicle, is obtained as a slip velocity, and degradation of the running wheel is detected based on a fact that torque of the running motor and the slip velocity have passed through a predetermined abnormal range in a space comprising a torque component and a slip velocity component.
