Abstract: A driving support device includes: a front camera configured to acquire image data; and a controller configured to execute driving support control for supporting driving by a driver of a vehicle when the controller determines that a specific display object exists in front of the vehicle based on the image data. The driving support control is control executed depending on the specific display object. The controller is configured to determine whether a conforming operation is being executed by the driver. The controller is also configured to execute, as the driving support control, control having a higher support level indicating a degree of influence on the driver when the controller determines that the conforming operation is not being executed, as compared with a case where the controller determines that the conforming operation is executed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of providing a management apparatus with data that can be utilized for data analysis other than detection of signs of abnormality while keeping down costs required to build and maintain a communication environment. The image forming apparatus has a sensor. In the image forming apparatus, second data for use in detecting a sign of abnormality is generated based on first data comprised of measured values obtained by the sensor. The second data is transmitted directly or indirectly to the management apparatus that detects the sign of abnormality. Wherein, the second data is data that indicates characteristics of the image forming apparatus and has a smaller data amount that that of the first data.

Abstract: A transmission device including a time-domain windowing processing circuit to which a transmission symbol is input and in which the transmission symbol is multiplied by a time window. As the time window, a result of pre-convolving an arbitrary filter into an arbitrary time window is used.

Abstract: A pass box delivering an article with respect to a clean room includes a blower provided in an upper portion of the pass box, a first door on the clean room side, a first handle provided on the clean room side and opening and closing the first door, a first handle receiving portion rotating with the first handle in the pass box, a first handle receiving seat engaging with the first handle receiving portion in the pass box, and a storage stand provided in a lower portion of the pass box. The storage stand has a slit allowing air from the blower to be exhausted from an inner portion of the pass box.

Abstract: An image forming system is configured to receive an input of natural language speech. Regardless of whether the natural language speech includes a combination of first words or second words, the image forming system can recognize the natural language speech as an instruction to select a specific print setting displayed on a screen.
