Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a functional fluid gating control system, which comprises a porous membrane and a functional fluid. The functional fluid at least partially infiltrates the porous membrane and cooperates to form a fluid gating pathway. The functional fluid and/or the porous membrane responds to at least one stimulus and undergoes a physical change or a chemical change to change the threshold pressure of the transport substance. A transport fluid being immiscible with the functional fluid is controlled to pass through the fluid gating system, and thus controllable transport and multiphase separation of materials are achieved. The stimulus of the present disclosure comprises a wide range of sources, and the stimulus responsiveness of the functional fluid and the porous membrane can be randomly and freely combined to adapt to multiple stimuli from complex external conditions and achieve intelligent controllability.

Abstract: In one example embodiment, an information processing apparatus determines whether a target ID is a unique ID or a partial randomization ID that includes a first part being replaced by a different number and a second part being generated based on the unique ID. In response to the target ID being the partial randomization ID, the information processing apparatus generates an access key based on the second part of the partial randomization ID and a key. The information processing apparatus executes a mutual authentication process using the generated access key.

Abstract: An information processing device includes: a data storage portion that can store user data used in a particular non-contact communication service and management information to manage the user data in different storage areas corresponding to different encryption methods and that has a first storage area storing management information corresponding to a first encryption method; an issuing information receiver that receives issuing information encrypted with the first encryption method from an issuing device delivering the issuing information to issue management information corresponding to a second encryption method; an issuing information decryption portion that decrypts the received issuing information with the first encryption method, based on the management information corresponding to the first encryption method stored in the first storage area; and a management information issuing portion that, based on the decrypted issuing information, issues the management information corresponding to the second encryp
