Abstract: A high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet has a chemical composition containing, by mass %, C: 0.02% to 0.23%, Si: 0.10% to 3.00%, Mn: 0.5% to 3.5%, P: 0.100% or less, S: 0.02% or less, and Al: 1.5% or less, the balance being Fe and incidental impurities, in which the total area fraction of martensite and bainite is 80% to 100%, the maximum orientation density of grains is less than 2.5 in a region extending from a position of 5 ?m to a position of 10 ?m from a surface in the thickness direction, and the maximum orientation density of grains is 2.5 or more in a region extending from a position of 50 ?m to a position of 100 ?m from the surface in the thickness direction.

Abstract: A temperature setting device includes: a contour map display processing unit to display a contour map representing a temperature distribution in a room where an air conditioner is installed on a screen in accordance with display data of the contour map; a coordinates acquiring unit to acquire, when contact with the contour map displayed on the screen is detected, position coordinates indicating a position of the contact on the contour map as position coordinates indicating a point at which a set temperature is to be changed; and a control signal outputting unit to output, to a control device of the air conditioner, a first control signal giving an instruction to lower the set temperature at the point or a second control signal giving an instruction to raise the set temperature at the point, the point being indicated by the position coordinates acquired by the coordinates acquiring unit.

Abstract: An environment control system includes: an environment control apparatus installed in a room; a human body state detection unit configured to detect human body sensor information; an environmental state detection unit configured to detect environmental sensor information; a sleep state determination unit configured to determine whether a sleep state is any one of a hypnagogic state, a sleeping state or a wakefulness state; a learning unit configured to learn a predicted sleep rhythm of the human body based on the human body sensor information, the environmental sensor information, and a determination result of the sleep state; a control content determination unit configured to determine control content of the environment control apparatus such that the predicted sleep rhythm obtained by learning approaches an ideal sleep rhythm; and an apparatus control unit configured to control the environment control apparatus based on the control content determined.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing extruded elongate pasta of substantially even lengths. The apparatus includes: an extruder; a first cutter for cutting uneven tip portions of the bunches of elongate pasta; a second cutter for cutting the bunches of the elongate pasta, whose uneven tip portions have been cut, into an even length; and a sorting part for selectively sorting the bunches of elongate pasta having been cut into the even length with the second cutter from the uneven tip portions having been cut with the first cutter.
