Abstract: A data structure of the voxel data VD according to this example is a map data structure which is a data structure of map data to be referred to by an information processing device 1, and includes position information indicating a position of a structural object and attribution information indicating whether or not the structural object is a floating object on a water surface. If the attribute information indicates that the structural object is a floating object on a water surface, the attribute information is used by the information processing device 1 to identify the position of the structural object by using the position information as relative position information relative to a position of the water surface.

Abstract: In the information processing device, the point cloud data acquisition means acquires point cloud data generated by a measurement device provided on a ship. The water-surface reflection data extraction means extracts data obtained by measuring a position which is a predetermined distance away from a shore and which is within a predetermined distance from a measurement position of the measurement device, as a water-surface reflection data measured by reflection at a water surface. Then, the water-surface height calculation means calculates a water-surface height based on the water-surface reflection data.

Abstract: In the information processing device, the object detection means detects an object based on point cloud data generated by a measurement device provided on a ship. The positional relationship acquisition means to acquires a relative positional relationship between the object and the ship. The display control means displays, on a display device, information related to the positional relationship in a display mode according to the positional relationship.

Abstract: The invention offers a low-noise, compact, high-efficiency light generating device and an irradiation method thereof for use in medical applications. A fundamental harmonic laser head 106 is composed of a quasi-continuous wave oscillation mode laser diode (QCW-LD) 101, a laser crystal 103, a rear mirror 104 and an output mirror 105.

Abstract: A solid electrolyte fuel cell has an air electrode, a fuel electrode and a solid electrolyte film disposed between the air electrode and the fuel electrode. The solid electrolyte film is formed of yttria-stabilized zirconia in which alumina is added, the concentration of the supplemented alumina at a surface layer section of the solid electrolyte film being larger than that at a center layer section of the solid electrolyte film.

Abstract: A solid-electrolyte fuel cell stack comprises three-layered films and separators alternately stacked with each other. Each of the three-layered films comprises a solid-electrolyte film, a fuel electrode and an air electrode with the solid-electrolyte film interposed between the fuel electrode and the air electrode. The three-layered film and the separator are bonded together with a glass bonding agent and a ceramic bonding agent separately interposed therebetween.

Abstract: In an apparatus and method utilizing a navigation system for controlling a driving force to be exerted at an estimated position at which the vehicle is to pass to reach to a destination at which the vehicle is finally to reach, a running road estimating block estimates a future position of the own vehicle in which the vehicular driving force controlling apparatus is mounted on the basis of a present position of the own vehicle. The estimated future position is a point of a road for the vehicle to pass several seconds after a time at which the own vehicle is placed at the present position specified from a recorded content of an electronic road map stored in, for example, CD-ROM. A driving force predicting block determines a present vehicular load state derived by a running resistance measuring block as a required driving force at the estimated position by correcting the present vehicular load state by a height difference between the estimated position and the present position.
