Abstract: An information management apparatus acquires location information of one or more vehicles having electric power of only a first battery as a power source and a remaining level of the electric power of the first battery, acquires information of a surplus power accumulated in a second battery that is installed in each of a plurality of facilities and is capable of supplying electric power to devices installed in the facility and location information of the facility, and provides the location information of the facility to the vehicle in a case in which the remaining level of the electric power of the first battery is equal to or lower than a first threshold, the facility being in which the second battery of which the surplus power is equal to or higher than a second threshold is disposed and being present within a predetermined distance from a vehicle.

Abstract: A matching support system includes: a support request acceptance unit configured to accept a request for predetermined support from a user; a support provision acceptance unit configured to accept provision of the predetermined support by a supporter; a routine travel route recognition unit configured to recognize a routine travel route of the supporter; a supporter candidate extraction unit configured to extract, as a supporter candidate, the supporter having a distance from the routine travel route to a desired implementation location for the predetermined support equal to or less than a predetermined distance; and a matching proposal unit configured to transmit matching proposal information for proposing provision of the predetermined support for the user, to a supporter candidate terminal that is a supporter terminal used by the supporter candidate.

Abstract: A capability matching assist apparatus configured to assist matching of capability between a first user(s) who can provide capability and a second user(s) who needs capability. The apparatus has a computer configured to function to register at least one of human capability of the first user and machine capability of machinery owned by the first user, to register at least one of human capability and machine capability needed by the second user, and to collate registered contents and discriminate based on collation results whether the second user can be benefited by providing the capability of the first user.

Abstract: In the conventional holding mechanism for supporting strut members in a state just before the stowed state is reached, reliable operation is difficult.

Abstract: In the conventional holding mechanism for supporting strut members in a state just before the stowed state is reached, reliable operation is difficult.

Abstract: The object is to provide a side rail that satisfies the dimension specified in the IEC standard, etc. and prevents that the upper crosspiece member of the side rail becomes too high in the stowed state. This invention proposes a foldable side rail in which multiple strut members 2 are pivotally rotatably connected between an upper crosspiece member 1u and a lower crosspiece member 1d, to form a parallel link mechanism, while a holding mechanism 5 is provided for holding the abovementioned strut members in an upright position, wherein at least some of the strut members are flat strut members disposed in such a manner that the flat surfaces thereof may face the adjacent strut members, while the number of the strut members per unit length of the side rail is increased.
