Abstract: With respect to an inference method performed by at least one processor, the method includes inputting, by the at least one processor, into a learned model, non-processed object image data of a second object and data related to a second process for the second object, and inferring, by the at least one processor using the learned model, processed object image data of the second object on which the second process has been performed. The learned model has been trained so that an output obtained in response to non-processed object image data of a first object and data related to a first process for the first object being input approaches processed object image data of the first object on which the first process has been performed.

Abstract: A small watercraft system includes: a watercraft body; a watercraft body manipulation member through which a watercraft body manipulation command is input by an operator; a drive source that allows the watercraft body to plane; a steering device that allows the watercraft body to be steered; and a control device that controls the drive source and the steering device to operate the watercraft body. The control device determines whether a mode switching condition is satisfied, the mode switching condition including an operator's absence condition that the operator is absent from the watercraft body. Upon determining that the mode switching condition is satisfied, the control device executes an operator-absent manipulation mode in which the control device moves the watercraft body by controlling the drive source and the steering device based on an operator-absent manipulation command independent of the watercraft body manipulation command.

Abstract: Provided are: dispersion in which titanium dioxide microparticles are highly dispersed in an organic solvent; and a method for producing the dispersion. The dispersion comprises at least titanium dioxide microparticles, an organic solvent, a silane coupling agent, and a dispersant having a basic adsorptive group, wherein the ratio of the mass of the dispersant to that of the silane coupling agent is 15 to 75% by mass. It is preferred that the ratio of the total mass of the silane coupling agent and the dispersant to the mass of the titanium dioxide microparticles is 10 to 40% by mass. The dispersion is produced by dispersing the titanium dioxide microparticles together with the above-specified amounts of the silane coupling agent and the dispersant having a basic adsorptive group in the organic solvent.

Abstract: Provided are surface-coated inorganic particles and a method for manufacturing the same, whereby the dispersibility of inorganic particles in an organic solvent can be improved, and a function or performance of the inorganic particles can thereby be adequately demonstrated. In the present invention, surfaces of inorganic particles of titanium oxide or the like are coated with a reaction product of a silicate compound having an amino group, and/or a hydrolysis product thereof, and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a carboxylic acid, a carboxylic acid halide, an acid anhydride, a sulfonic acid halide, and an isocyanate. The reaction product forming the coating is preferably a silicate compound having at least one bond selected from the group consisting of an amide bond, a sulfonamide bond, a urethane bond, and a urea bond, and/or a hydrolysis product thereof.
