Abstract: A controller for an internal combustion engine is configured to execute a determination process that determines that a deviation between a first change amount and a second change amount during a fuel cutoff operation is less than or equal to a threshold, and an anomaly diagnosing process that determines that an exhaust purification device is in a detached state when the determination process determines that the deviation is less than or equal to the threshold. The first change amount and the second change amount are change amounts per unit time of the temperature of exhaust gas on the upstream side and the downstream side of the exhaust purification device, respectively. The controller is configured to interrupt the determination process when the upstream-side temperature increases within a determination period.

Abstract: The membrane cleaning device uses treated water filtered through an MBR separation membrane as dissolution water, and performs a first process of dissolving ozone gas in the dissolution water under a neutral or alkaline condition, and a second process of dissolving ozone gas in the dissolution water under an acidic condition, to generate ozone water. At this time, whether to shift from the first process to the second process is determined on the basis of the organic substance concentration in the dissolution water, and whether to start feeding the ozone water to the separation membrane is determined on the basis of the dissolved ozone concentration in the dissolution water. Therefore, even when the organic substance concentration in the dissolution water varies depending on the MBR operation conditions, the treatment times in the first process and the second process can be optimized.

Abstract: A desired one of existing banners attached to a home page is modified into a personal banner which is selected by an operator. A personal banner preparation program records an address of a home page and an existing banner which are to be modified, an image of a personal banner which replaces the personal banner, and a linked address of the personal banner. The personal banner preparation program monitors a browser, and whenever the existing banner is received, modifies it into a personal banner before delivering it to the browser. Merely selecting the personal banner on the browser allows a desired linked home page which is set up by the operator to be viewed immediately.
