Abstract: There is provided a technique that includes: (a) performing: (a1) exciting a first oxidizing agent and a first reducing agent into a plasma state and supplying the first oxidizing agent and the first reducing agent thus excited to a substrate, which includes a first surface and a second surface; and (a2) exciting a second reducing agent into a plasma state and supplying the second reducing agent thus excited to the substrate; and (b) heat-treating the substrate subjected to (a).

Abstract: Provided is an aqueous coating composition capable of forming a fluororesin coating film layer with excellent electrical properties and surface physical properties, and good adhesive properties. A coating composition containing 2 or more kinds of fluororesins, wherein at least 1 kind of the fluororesin, a fluororesin (I), has a number of functional groups of 30 to 1,000 per 106 main-chain carbon atoms, and the coating composition further contains an inorganic filler, a surfactant, a liquid medium, and a non-fluororesin.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides processing for performing highly-accurate density nonuniformity correction while saving the number of patches. A chart generation unit obtains measurement data of the latest test chart. A patch tone calculation unit obtains an output characteristic expressing measurement values for input tone values based on the obtained measurement data and calculates selected tone values to be used as the input tone values for a test chart from the obtained output characteristic. A chart image generation unit generates the test chart by using the calculated selected tone values as the input tone values and not using at least one initial tone value as the input tone value.

Abstract: Provided is a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which an executable program is recorded, the program causing a processor of a computer to execute outputting, to a display, information obtained by comparing a charge related to extension of car sharing that provides a rental vehicle with a balance of electronic money registered as a settlement method of the car sharing.

Abstract: A payment system includes: a payment server including a first processor including hardware; and a terminal including a second processor including hardware, and a display, wherein the first processor is configured to cause the display to display a condition for renting a vehicle, the condition being set based on credit information on a plurality of payment methods registered in a wallet system.

Abstract: Provided is a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which an executable program is recorded, the program causing a processor of a computer to execute outputting, to a display, information obtained by a comparison between a parking fee that increases in accordance with a lapse of a parking duration in a toll parking lot and a balance of a payment method.

Abstract: Provided is a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which an executable program is recorded, the program causing a processor of a computer to execute: extracting target facilities located on a route to a destination; and outputting, to a display, a target facility that allows use of a settlement method selected by user's input from among the extracted target facilities.

Abstract: A server includes a processor including hardware, the processor being configured to display, on a display, information obtained by converting a balance of a registered prepaid-type settlement method into an amount of an energy source used in life.

Abstract: A wallet server includes: a processor including hardware, the processor being configured to: display, on a display, a payment icon receiving a request for payment using any of a plurality of different payment methods, and additional information determined based on a result of comparison between a balance of each payment method and a predetermined amount.

Abstract: A boom includes a body and a base end bracket. The body includes a straight section and a wide section. When viewed from above, a width of the straight section is substantially constant. When viewed from above, a width of the wide section increases toward the base end bracket. The straight section and the wide section are smoothly continuous to each other.

Abstract: The number of steps required for a welding operation of a work implement of a hydraulic excavator is reduced while the welding quality is improved. A boom includes a top plate, a left side plate joined to the top plate, and a boom foot bracket. The boom foot bracket includes an extending portion. The extending portion includes a portion that faces a side surface of the top plate.

Abstract: A floor carpet is placed on a floor panel forming a cabin floor surface. The floor carpet comprises a skin layer which is configured to block an airflow therethrough and a sound-absorption layer which is made of a sound-absorption material and configured to allow an airflow therein, the sound-absorption layer being provided below the skin layer to contact the floor panel at a lower face thereof. A space between the skin layer and the floor panel (a space portion where the sound-absorption layer is arranged) is sealed with a seal member which is configured to surround the sound-absorption layer. The seal member is pressed against the floor panel (tightly) by a pressing member which is fixed to a vehicle-body side with a fixing tool.
