Abstract: A transmission data controller determines a frequency bandwidth according to a relay apparatus position, the frequency bandwidth being used for a first signal transmitted from a first communication apparatus, on the basis of information regarding the number of first communication apparatuses with which a relay apparatus communicates at the relay apparatus position. The transmission data controller transmits band information indicating a frequency band selected from radio frequency bands that can be used for the first signal on the basis of the determined frequency bandwidth to the first communication apparatus. The first communication apparatus transmits the first signal having a frequency included in the frequency band indicated by the band information. The relay apparatus acquires waveform data of the first signal transmitted by the first communication apparatus, and transmits the acquired waveform data to a second communication apparatus by a second signal.

Abstract: A cooling fan device includes an electronic control unit that controls an engagement rate of a fan clutch. The electronic control unit executes a first calculation process that calculates an air conditioner requested engagement rate, a second calculation process that calculates, as a first guard value, a value of an engagement rate at which a fan rotation speed increases at a specified speed and an upper limit guarding process that sets a value of the air conditioner requested engagement rate to the first guard value when a calculated value of the air conditioner requested engagement rate in the first calculation process exceeds the first guard value. The electronic control unit further controls the engagement rate of the fan clutch based on a value of the air conditioner requested engagement rate after execution of the upper limit guarding process.

Abstract: An information management system is provided. Based on a designated item (an entity (first designated element item) and a keyword (second designated element item)) inputted through an input interface, a designated text group which is a part of a secondary text group is searched from a database and saved to a queue. Further, designated texts of a designated number are extracted from the designated text group preferentially in an order according to one designated priority item among a plurality of designated priority items (sensitivity amount and latest information (information freshness)). Then, a first report showing a time series of an occurrence frequency of the designated texts of the designated number is outputted on an output interface.

Abstract: To provide a database creation apparatus and the like capable of creating a database with its usefulness increased. A data processing server 2 acquires Japanese language data and foreign language data from external servers 6, creates machine-translated data by translating the foreign language data into data written in the Japanese language using machine translation, creates mixed data by combining the machine-translated data as an additional part of the Japanese language data, and creates retained data using the mixed data.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a system that can easily calculate a similarity rate of a target document when comparing the target document. An array set of a designated type of words (e.g., nouns) is respectively extracted from a test document and a reference document as an arrayed test document and an arrayed reference document. A word included in a common word set of the arrayed test document and the arrayed reference document is defined as true as a proposition, and other words are defined as false as propositions. Further, when a ratio of words defined as true as propositions in a word array of a first designated length including a word among words defined as false as propositions is greater than or equal to a first designated value, the word is redefined as a wildcard and true as a proposition.
