Abstract: The present invention provides a protective construction of a fuel pump. The protective construction includes a pump shield, disposed on an internal-combustion engine, wherein a specified interval exists at a carriage side of a vehicle in opposite to a high-pressure fuel pump and the pump shield overlaps the high-pressure fuel pump in a front and rear direction. The pump shield includes: a base portion having a width increasing gradually towards the high-pressure fuel pump; a left protective arm portion and a right protective arm portion, extending diagonally and integrally extend upwards from a specified location of the base portion to the side of the high-pressure fuel pump, wherein an interval between the left protective arm portion and the right protective arm portion increases gradually towards the high-pressure fuel pump, and a beam portion, integrally extending between the left protective arm portion and the right protective arm portion.

Abstract: Upon evaluation of a value of a diagnostic process, the value of a diagnostic process is evaluated not based on a simple cost but on a cost required for all processes of a patient who was in the diagnostic process through a follow-up survey. Diagnostic processes that are not relevant to a target diagnostic process are eliminated, clustering is performed on patients to divide the patients into clinically meaningful homogeneous groups, and the target diagnostic process is evaluated for each of the homogeneous groups. For the purpose, importance scores of data pieces of the clinical data are calculated and the relevant data is output using the output result of the medical knowledge extraction unit, clustering is performed on patients in the clinical data, and a clinical index and a cost are output for each of the clusters.

Abstract: Drowsiness of a human may be caused by an underlying disease such as sleep apnea syndrome in some cases, but not in other cases. Regardless of the cause, drowsiness occurring during driving of a vehicle or the like may in some cases lead to a serious accident involving loss of life. Accordingly, a technique is needed to analyze drowsiness level with high accuracy so as to prevent accidents and ensure safety. To solve this problem, a device for assessing drowsiness level is provided for calculating a drowsiness level of a living body based on a core body temperature and a surface temperature in a peripheral region of the living body.
