Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first setting section, and a second setting section. The first setting section sets, when a first user is in a first status which indicates the first user moves out from a first group, a first authority under which the first user is permitted to read out and prohibited to write into the first electronic information. The first setting section sets, when a second user is in a second status which indicates the second user moves into a second group, a second authority under which the second user is permitted to read out and prohibited to write into the second electronic information. The second setting section cancels, when the first user satisfies a first condition, the first authority. The second setting section changes, when the second user satisfies a second condition, the second authority into an authority based on the second group.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a casting method which employs rapid solidification of metal, rare-earth metal or the like, as well as to a casting apparatus and a cast alloy. A centrifugal casting method includes the steps of pouring a molten material onto a rotary body; sprinkling the molten material by the effect of rotation of the rotary body; and causing the sprinkled molten material to be deposited and to solidify on the inner surface of a rotating cylindrical mold. The axis of rotation of the rotary body and the axis of rotation of the cylindrical mold are caused not to run parallel to each other. The centrifugal casting method can attain a decrease in average deposition rate. As a result, generation of the dendritic ?Fe phase or generation of a segregation phase of Mn or the like is suppressed, thereby realizing a high-performance R-T-B-type rare-earth magnet alloy.
