Abstract: Terminal (2) used by a user includes a transmitter configured to transmit desire information required for determining a desired facility desired by the user to a server (1) via a telecommunications network. The server (1) includes a destination setting unit configured to set a destination of a vehicle on the basis of the desire information and a facility information acquisition unit configured to acquire, via the telecommunications network, facility information including information indicative of an empty situation of the desired facility. The vehicle includes an arrival time adjustment unit configured to manage a travel of the vehicle on the basis of the facility information to adjust an arrival time at which the vehicle arrives at the destination.

Abstract: Provided are a light diffuser in which the brightness or hue in an emission surface of the light diffuser is controlled, a lighting device, and a method of manufacturing such a light diffuser. A light diffuser (100) includes: an incident surface (121) to receive first light (Li); a light scattering portion (110) that includes light scattering particles (112) present in a medium (111) and generates scattered light by guiding the received first light and scattering the received first light with the light scattering particles; and an emission surface (122) to emit the scattered light, wherein a concentration of the light scattering particles in the light scattering portion is distributed such that the concentration increases non-linearly and continuously or discontinuously with distance from an incident edge in a light guiding direction of the first light in the light scattering portion.

Abstract: Light control body (6) has first incident surface (7) and first reflection surface (9). First incident surface (7) condenses part of light emitted from light source (1) and emits the light toward incident surface (3) of light guide plate (2). First reflection surface (9) reflects the light that is emitted from light source (1) and does not pass through first incident surface (7), and emits the light toward incident surface (3) of light guide plate (2). First focal position (11) of first incident surface (7) and second focal position (12) of first reflection surface (9) are set at positions that are different from each other and away from the light emission surface of light source (1).

Abstract: The present disclosure includes receiving, by a server (1), experience information via a telecommunications network (3) from each of terminals (3) carried by respective users (A to E), the experience information being information regarding an experience desired by each of the users; extracting, in the server, two or more users to generate a single community for the experience information of the two or more users, the two or more users transmitting the experience information having a similarity level not less than a predetermined threshold; extracting, in the server, a destination (5) associated with the experience information having the similarity level not lower than the predetermined threshold using a database (17) configured to preliminarily store the experience information and the destination in association with each other; and transmitting the destination from the server via the telecommunications network to the terminals carried by the two or more users who constitute the single community.

Abstract: A papermaking seamed felt 10 of the present invention comprises a base layer 30 having a seam part, a wet paper web side batt fiber layer 20 formed on the wet paper web side surface of said base layer, and a press side batt fiber layer 21 formed on the press side surface thereof, wherein said wet paper web side batt fiber layer 20 having a core-in-sheath fiber 41 comprising a core member made of high-molecular-weight nylon with an absolute viscosity of 80 mPa·s or more and a sheath member made of nylon with a lower melting point than the core member. A net-shaped fiber layer is formed with melted sheath members of the core-in-sheath fiber 41, which makes the wet paper web side batt fiber layer 20 dense. As a result, the wet paper web side batt fiber layer 20 works as a barrier to block water within the press side layer from moving to the wet paper web side, thereby preventing rewetting.

Abstract: A change-over mechanism for a pushbutton radio tuner is disclosed. The mechanism has a tuning shaft which transmits rotational movement to a pinion shaft in engagement with a crown gear. The tuning shaft is slidably and rotatably mounted on a frame body. The sliding movement of the tuning shaft enables a switch to be changed-over while the rotational movement enables a tuning operation to be effected.
