Abstract

A deriver derives a difference defined as a distance between a position of a charging coil and a position of an electronic appliance. An extractor extracts a detection tolerance from a table stored in a table storage, based on information related to a model of the electronic appliance. A transmitter transmits the difference and the detection tolerance to the electronic appliance. The electronic appliance determines a first power when a magnitude of a combination of the difference and the detection tolerance is equal to or smaller than a threshold value and determines a second power when the magnitude of the combination of the difference and the detection tolerance is larger than the threshold value. The first power is larger than the second power. A power controller adjusts a magnitude of power to be transported from the charging coil according to an instruction from the electronic appliance.

Abstract

Base coat as an example of a resin composition for a cosmetic is a resin composition for a cosmetic used in a cosmetic to be adhered to nail as a part of living body. The resin composition for a cosmetic includes a stimulus-responsive material that undergoes a volume change by external stimuli, the external stimuli excluding both an external stimulus due to contact with a solvent and an external stimulus due to contact with a solution, and a solidified matter of the resin composition for a cosmetic has a surface with a water contact angle between 30° and 110° (inclusive). The solidified matter of the resin composition for a cosmetic undergoes the volume change by application of the external stimuli to reduce strength of adhesion to the part of living body.

Abstract

An audio transmission system performs time-division multiplexing on audio data of N channels (N is an integral number equal to or larger than 1) for each reference period and transmits multiplexed audio data. The N channels represent a number of channels determined in advance in accordance with a preset mode. The audio transmission system includes a master circuit, one or more slave circuits connected to the master circuit via one or more transmission lines by daisy chain topology, and a signal processing circuit. The slave circuits each function as an audio transmitter. The master circuit functions as an audio receiver. The signal processing circuit limits a level of audio data of the N channels to be equal to or smaller than a predetermined value in a case where a level of audio data received by the master circuit is larger than a threshold value.

An anomaly detection system includes: a register value collector that collects register values of register numbers from a controller; a future state predictor that predicts a future state of the control system; a blacklist creator that creates a blacklist based on a prediction result; an anomaly determiner that determines whether the control system enters an anomalous state by checking the collected register values against the blacklist; and an outputter that outputs a determination result. The blacklist creator defines, as the blacklist: a predicted register number that is predicted, if a register value of the predicted register number is changed, to cause the control system to enter the anomalous state in the future; and a range of the register value within which the control system is predicted to enter the anomalous state, and dynamically creates the blacklist corresponding to a combination of the collected register values.
