A system and method are provided for monitoring and controlling a sterilization system. In response to this instruction, the approach creates the collaborative workspace in a substantially automated manner. , wherein at least 90 weight % of the second polymer is formed by polymerization at a temperature of from 5\xb0 C. When history information of a battery pack mounted on a scrapped vehicle is not stored in the history information storage unit of the data station, that battery pack is subjected to recycle processing. If the data cell transmitted through the slot immediately before is the head portion of the packet, the controller only adds the VC information of the data stream to a shaper link list, and withholds transmission of the data cell. The input image is binarized using the binary threshold value, and the color of the predetermined area of the input image is calculated based on the results obtained in the binarization.
