Abstract: A battery information management system includes: a battery characteristic calculation unit calculating a battery characteristic for each of a plurality of unit cells; a transmission unit transmitting value information that includes the battery characteristic of each unit cell, unit cell identification information, and time information; and a distributed-type database network recording the value information of each unit cell. A specific node of the distributed-type database network includes a reception unit configured to receive the value information transmitted from the transmission unit, and a transaction delivery unit configured to deliver, to the plurality of nodes, a transaction of recording the value information.

Abstract: A charging assistance system includes a processor configured to execute a generation process of generating charging plan data for a vehicle on the basis of: predicted power consumption of the vehicle calculated on the basis of a future traveling schedule of the vehicle; and a charging condition at each predicted stop place based on the traveling schedule.

Abstract: A manipulation device includes a rotary knob, a button and a waterproofing ring. The rotary knob rotatable about a rotational axis. The button having a center axis on the rotational axis of the rotary knob. The waterproofing ring that waterproofs a gap between the rotary knob and the button. The waterproofing ring rotating with the rotary knob, and the waterproofing ring being held in contact with the button and the rotary knob.

Abstract: When an object program including loops with conditional branch instructions is generated, information necessary for generation of an object program including an optimum code for high-efficiency execution of the loops must be obtained. A compile device is provided with branch history information code generating means which generates codes for obtaining information indicative of the number of repetitions at each execution of each loop included in the object program and a branch history of the conditional branch instructions in the loop, and generates the object program included the codes generated.

Abstract: A method for displaying autoradiograph having information on two-dimensional location of radioactively labeled substances resolved on a support medium, which includes the steps of:(1) obtaining digital signals corresponding to said autoradiograph and having information on the resolved positions of radioactively labeled substances and radiation intensity at said positions;(2) subjecting the digital signals to signal processing to obtain at least two-dimensional waveforms for one resolved row, which exhibit position along the resolving direction and signal level; and(3) displaying multiply the resulting two-dimensional waveforms at regular intervals in a direction perpendicualr to the resolving direction.

Abstract: An incubator is provided with an inlet, a measurement station and an outlet for chemical analysis slides, and a number of levers or pushing devices for stepwisely circulating the slides through the apparatus. The device is useful for uniformly incubating a plurality of chemical analysis slides or the like according to a continuous, rather than batch, process.
