A new method for evaluating embrittlement of an amorphous alloy ribbon is provided. The method includes: pressing a pressurization member from one side to a plurality of positions of an amorphous alloy ribbon; scattering, in the amorphous alloy ribbon, pressurization portions where the pressurization member is pressed to form indentation; and evaluating embrittlement by the number or distribution of pressurization portions where cracks have occurred.

In a column end joint structure for joining an end of a column made of flat wooden material having a rectangular cross-section to a joining member, splitting generation at the end of the column is controlled. An expansion of crack is controlled when splitting generated. A cutout portion is provided in each of ends in a longitudinal direction of a column end face, and a joint fitting is coupled inside the cutout portion by a joint bolt. The joint fitting is coupled to a foundation by an anchor bolt. Joint fittings are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the end face inside each cutout portion. One joint fitting is located contacting or close to a surface of the column inside the cutout portion such that the joint fitting side face and the surface of the column inside the cutout portion restrain a displacement orthogonal to the column axis.

An electronic receipt system includes a terminal device, a first memory unit which a first user has, and a second memory unit which a second user who is a trading partner of the first user has. The terminal device includes biometric authentication obtaining means to obtain biometric authentication information of the first user and biometric authentication information of the second user; electronic tally generating means to generate electronic tallies based on the biometric authentication information of the both users; electronic receipt generating means to generate electronic receipts including transaction information of the first user and the second user, the electronic receipts including a first electronic receipt having one of the electronic tallies and a second electronic receipt having another of the relevant electronic tallies; means to store the first electronic receipt in the first memory unit; and means to make the second electronic receipt to be stored in the second memory unit.
