Abstract: The likelihood of a remote driving request from a requester being unfulfilled is lowered. A server receives information regarding the remote driving request requesting a vehicle to travel by being remotely driven from a terminal of the requester, and receives information regarding a remote driving task selected by a remote driver (fulfilment agent) using a fulfilment agent operation terminal from the fulfilment agent operation terminal. A task corresponding to the received remote driving request is divided into plural remote driving tasks based on route information for the task, and information regarding at least one of the divided remote driving tasks is transmitted to the fulfilment agent operation terminal.

Abstract: An information display device includes: a display section that displays a view of a situation ahead of a vehicle and guidance information; a learning section that classifies and learns targets appearing on a travel route and visible through the display section as: a first target necessary to be visible, a second target necessary to be visible under the setting condition, or a third target not necessary to be visible, and a display control section configured to: prohibit display of the guidance information in a prohibited region with the first target, permit display of the guidance information in a permitted region with the third target, and either prohibit display of the guidance information in a conditional region with the second target and the setting condition is met, or permit display of the guidance information in the conditional region with the second target and the setting condition is not met.

Abstract: A key management device includes a server configured to issue an electronic key of a vehicle to a user device, configured to acquire position information of the vehicle, and configured to invalidate the electronic key issued to the user device when a determination is made from the position information of the vehicle that the vehicle is present at a predetermined position.

Abstract: A vehicle management system includes a server. The server is configured to acquire range information representing an available range of a vehicle, acquire positional information of the vehicle, determine whether or not a position of the vehicle is out of the available range or is expected to deviate from the available range, and provide a notification to a device related to the vehicle in a case where the position of the vehicle is out of the available range or in a case where the position of the vehicle is expected to deviate from the available range.

Abstract: A vehicle management system includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a manipulation list including one or a plurality of vehicle manipulations set when electronic key data of a vehicle is issued to a user device, a detection unit configured to detect that the vehicle manipulation included in the manipulation list has been performed when the vehicle is being used using the electronic key data of the user device, and a notification unit configured to notify an owner terminal related to an owner of the vehicle that the vehicle manipulation included in the manipulation list has been performed, after the detection of the detection unit.

Abstract: A thermocouple capable of preventing a decrease in strength of a temperature measuring junction portion while maintaining temperature responsiveness and productivity in comparison with a conventional thermocouple. A thermocouple including two wires and a clamping member, the clamping member clamping the two wires while distal end portions of the wires being in contact with each other in parallel to provide a temperature measuring junction portion, in which when it is assumed that diameters of the two wires are d1 and d2 (where d1?d2) respectively; a length of the temperature measuring junction portion in a longitudinal direction of the two wires is L; a maximum width of the temperature measuring junction portion in a parallel direction of the two wires is D; and a maximum width in a direction orthogonal to the parallel direction in a cross section of the temperature measuring junction portion is E, the following equations are satisfied: 0.

Abstract: A thermocouple that can stably perform direct temperature measurement under a high temperature environment (1500° C. or higher but 2300° C. or lower) and a manufacturing method for the same. A thermocouple according to a first embodiment is a thermocouple including at least a protective tube and element wires, the protective tube and the element wires are insulated from one another by an insulator, and the insulator is either one or both of a powder and a compact, and is composed of at least one of a zirconium oxide, a hafnium oxide, or a composite oxide of zirconium and hafnium.

Abstract: A carbon atmosphere thermometer 10a has: a thermocouple having thermocouple wires 16, 18, a thermocouple temperature measuring junction 14, and an insulating tube 12; a first protection tube 20 surrounding the thermocouple, while at least partially spaced apart from the thermocouple wires 16, 18 and others of the thermocouple; and a second protection tube 22 surrounding the first protection tube 20, while at least partially spaced apart from the first protection tube 20. For this reason, it becomes feasible to protect the thermocouple from the external environment, while preventing the thermocouple from reacting with the first protection tube 20. Furthermore, it becomes feasible to protect the thermocouple and the first protection tube 20 from the external environment, while preventing the first protection tube 20 from reacting with the second protection tube 22.

Abstract: A platinum wire in which crystal grain growth is slowed in order to prevent damage caused by creep without dispersing a metal oxide, and occurrence of slip at crystal grain boundaries is slowed. A platinum thermocouple wire that is used in a negative electrode of a platinum-based thermocouple and has a nitrogen mass concentration of 10 to 100 ppm, and when structure observation of the cross section of the wire in a longitudinal direction is performed, a structure is observed in which there is a plurality of crystal grains, which have an aspect ratio {(length of major axis)/(length of minor axis perpendicular to major axis)} of 5 or more and elongate in the longitudinal direction of the wire, in a wire thickness direction.

Abstract: A tool for friction stir welding includes a tool part, a shank part and a cap part. The tool part and the shank part have a hexagonal frustum-shaped concave section and a hexagonal frustum-shaped convex section to enable movement of the tool part with respect to the shank part in a direction parallel to an axis of rotation while movement of the tool part with respect to the shank part in a direction around the axis of rotation is restricted, by the hexagonal frustum-shaped concave section and the hexagonal frustum-shaped convex section of the tool part and the shank part are fitted to each other. After the hexagonal frustum-shaped concave section and the hexagonal frustum-shaped convex section are fitted to each other, by the tool part and the shank part being covered by the cap part, the tool part is fixed to the shank part.
