A trunk-sharing system that controls an user's authority to use a predetermined area of a vehicle by issuing a predetermined authentication information to a user terminal, the trunk-sharing system including a server configured to: acquire a first information on a permission of using the predetermined area of the vehicle from a first user who owns the vehicle; provide the first information such that the first information acquired from the first user of each of a plurality of vehicles is able to be detected by a second user other than the first user; acquire a second information on a request for a use of the predetermined area which is an information from the second user who has accessed the provided first information; and issue an authentication information for locking and unlocking the predetermined area to a terminal of the second user based on the first information and the second information.

Trunk-sharing system, information processing device for trunk-sharing, information processing method for trunk-sharing, and recording medium having program stored therein

An information processing system includes an object information acquiring unit, a receiver information acquiring unit, and an authentication information issuing unit. The object information acquiring unit acquires delivery object information of an object from a deliverer of the object. The object is stored in an interior space of a vehicle and of which delivery is desired. The receiver information acquiring unit acquires receiver information on a receiver of the object. The authentication information issuing unit issues authentication information for locking and unlocking a door of the vehicle based on the delivery object information and the receiver information and transmits the authentication information to a terminal of the receiver.

Convenience regarding movement of a vehicle requiring servicing/maintenance is increased. A support apparatus includes acquirer configured to acquire necessity information about necessity/non-necessity of provision of a service related to a vehicle from a terminal of a user of the vehicle, and information manager configured to issue, when the necessity information indicates that the provision of the service is necessary, authentication information for temporarily using the vehicle to an agency providing the service.

Support apparatus, support method, program, and support system

A trunk-sharing system that uses an interior space of a vehicle as a place in which a delivery object is delivered and received, the trunk-sharing system comprising a server configured to: i) acquire a vehicle information including information for identifying the vehicle when a predetermined service request has been issued; ii) acquire a predetermined authentication information for locking and unlocking a door of the vehicle based on the vehicle information; and iii) transmit at least the predetermined authentication information to a terminal which is used by a service provider.

Trunk-sharing system, information processing method for trunk-sharing, and recording medium having program stored therein

A delivery system includes: a first vehicle configured to deliver a delivery object to a predetermined delivery destination; a second vehicle configured to deliver the delivery object to the first vehicle; and an authentication information issuing device configured to perform at least one of first issuance control and second issuance control. The first issuance control is control of issuing first authentication information to a second user terminal. The first authentication information is information for locking and unlocking the predetermined area of the first vehicle. The second issuance control is control of issuing second authentication information to a first user terminal. The second authentication information is information for locking and unlocking the predetermined area of the second vehicle.

Delivery system, information processing device, control method for information processing device, and non-transitory recording medium having program stored therein

An information system that manages use of a cargo compartment of a vehicle by a plurality of users, the information system including a server configured to: acquire, from a provider of the vehicle, target range information regarding designation of a range of users who use the cargo compartment of the vehicle; receive user registration information including attributes of a user who desires use of the cargo compartment of the vehicle; and determine, based on the target range information and the user registration information, whether the use of the cargo compartment of the vehicle by the user is permitted or not.

Information system, information processing device, information processing method, and non-transitory recording medium having program stored therein

A driving evaluation device includes a processor. The processor is configured to acquire vehicle information including a vehicle speed in each trip of a vehicle, evaluate an economical level of each trip of the vehicle based on smallness of change in vehicle speed, and change an evaluation method of the economical level based on the smallness of the change in vehicle speed according to the maximum speed in each trip.

The object of the present invention is to provide a microorganism having an excellent ability to specifically oxidize the hydroxymethyl group of glucose, and a method of producing glucuronic acid and/or glucuronolactone by using such a microorganism to directly oxidize glucose, and the invention is directed at a microorganism which produces glucuronic acid directly from glucose and a mutant strain which is capable of specifically oxidizing the hydroxymethyl group of glucose and in which a DNA nucleotide sequence corresponding to 16S rRNA has the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 in the sequence listing, and the invention is also directed at a method of producing glucuronic acid and/or glucuronolactone by specifically oxidizing the hydroxymethyl group of glucose using the mutant strain, and this invention enables D-glucuronic acid and/or D-glucuronolactone to be produced and furnished easily and safely at a high yield and a low cost.

Method for producing glucuronic acid by glucuronic acid fermentation

A novel method of very efficiently elevating the yield of oligosacchrides containing &#x3b1;-galactosyl, compared with the conventional methods, which comprises treating galactose or a galactose-containing material with a specific &#x3b1;-galactosidase and thus performing a dehydrocondensation reaction at a high substrate concentration. Anti-candida compositions originating in foods, having a high safety and excellent anti-candida effect and not being restricted in the supply, which contain as the active ingredient oligosacchrides obtained by treating galactose or a galactose-containing material with an &#x3b1;-galactosidase and thus performing a dehydrocondensation.

Method of elevating yield of oligosaccharides containing &#x3b1;-galactosyl and anti-candida compositions

A &bgr;-fructofuranosidase gene coding for a protein having an amino acid sequence described in Seq. I.D. No. 1 in the Sequence Listing. The gene enables production of &bgr;-fructofuranosidase on a large scale more easily and less dependently on the productivity of microorganisms than the production by cultivation of the microorganisms. Also, the &bgr;-fructofuranosidase gene is useful for the development of variant enzymes that have increased heat resistance and transfer ratio by means of genetic engineering techniques.

&bgr;-fructofuranosidase gene

Disclosed are novel branched cyclodextrins having any of an N-acetylglucosamine group, a glucosaminyl group, an N-acetylgalactosaminyl group and a galactosaminyl group as bonded to the hydroxyl group of the cyclodextrin ring by .beta.-bonding therebetween, and their salts. The novel branched cyclodextrins are produced by reacting a solution containing a cyclodextrin and an N-acetylglucosamine or N-acetylgalactosamine with an N-acetylhexosaminidase, and optionally deacetylating the resulting product.
