  • Patent number: 11961059
    Abstract: The present disclosure promotes distribution of sensor data among a plurality of business operators. A controller that an information processing system according to the present disclosure includes collects first data including a plurality of items and personal information from mobile bodies belonging to a first business operator. The controller converts the first data to second data not being usable to identify individuals. The controller provides data in a range decided based on content of a predetermined data use contract, among the second data, to a second business operator. The controller calculates a consideration for the data that is to be paid by the second business operator, based on a data use record of the second business operator.

  • Patent number: 8182575
    Abstract: A producing method of direct reduced iron includes the steps of: drying an oxidized iron raw material selected from a group including iron ore and iron-making dust generated in an iron-making process to have a predetermined moisture content; mixing the oxidized iron raw material subjected to the drying step and a reducing material having a predetermined moisture content to obtain a mixture; pulverizing the mixture obtained in the mixing step for 80% minus-sieve to have a particle diameter of 70 ?m to 500 ?m; kneading the mixture after the moisture content of the mixture subjected to the pulverizing step is adjusted; agglomerating the mixture subjected to the kneading step to be agglomerate; and reducing the agglomerate obtained in the agglomerating step by a rotary hearth furnace to generate direct reduced iron.

  • Patent number: 6574150
    Abstract: A low power consumption type dynamic random access memory (DRAM) operable with reduced current consumption responsive to an external signal, without causing occurrence of malfunction during low current consumption. An input circuit for receiving signals, a memory array for holding data, and a peripheral circuit for controlling the memory array are driven by an internal voltage supplied by two groups of internal voltage receiving circuits, while an output circuit for outputting signals is driven by an external power supply. The two groups of internal voltage receiving circuits are deactivated in response to an externally provided power supply control signal, and the output circuit is controlled so as to be in a high impedance condition with voltage of the external power supply being applied thereto.
