Abstract: A schedule management apparatus is provided with a storage device that stores a schedule management program and a processor that reads out and executes the schedule management program. The schedule management program is provided with a first day-schedule suggestion means, a second day-schedule suggestion means, and a day-schedule registration means. The first day-schedule suggestion means determines, based on a registered schedule of a set participant, a suggestion day-schedule that is a day-schedule to be suggested to the participant, and suggests the determined suggestion day-schedule to a user included in the participant. The second day-schedule suggestion means confirms, based on an answer from the user, the determined suggestion day-schedule with the participant except the user.

Abstract: A flying vehicle navigation system includes a flying vehicle (2) and a control system (4) that controls the flight of the flying vehicle. The flying vehicle is configured to be switchable to autonomous driving when the flying vehicle is located in a first takeoff and landing section (22) set on the ground. After the flying vehicle is switched to autonomous driving, the control system guides the flying vehicle such that the flying vehicle takes off from a first takeoff and landing section, flies in a three-dimensional road as an exclusive track set in the specific region of the air, and lands on a second takeoff and landing section set on the ground. After the flying vehicle is switched to autonomous driving, operations from takeoff from the first takeoff and landing section to landing on the second takeoff and landing section are automatically carried out under control by the control system.

Abstract: An ornithopter includes a main wing mounted on a fuselage. The main wing includes a main spar extending outwardly from the fuselage, and a rib extending rearwardly from the main spar. The rib has an S-shaped camber.

Abstract: An ornithopter includes a main wing mounted on a fuselage, and a control system configured to control a flapping motion of the main wing. The main wing includes an inner spar, an outer spar, and a wrist portion disposed between the inner spar and the outer spar and which varies a bending angle, which is a relative angle between the inner spar and the outer spar, within a predetermined angle range. The control system includes an actuator which performs a raising motion and a lowering motion of the inner spar by moving the inner spar in an upward direction and in a downward direction, an angle sensor which measures the bending angle, and a control unit which controls the actuator to move the inner spar in response to the measured bending angle.

Abstract: A gas filling system (1) includes a gas tank (30); a gas filling device (2) that fills gas into the gas tank (30); and a controller (24) that calculates a temperature increase ?T and a pressure increase ?P in the gas tank (30) during a predetermined period of time (t seconds) that elapses from a start of gas filling. The controller (24) selects a filling rate map (Ma, Mb) from a prepared filling rate map group on the basis of the calculated temperature increase ?T and the calculated pressure increase ?P. The gas filling device (2) carries out gas filling using the filling rate map selected by the controller (24).

Abstract: A vehicle includes: a fuel tank into which gas is filled from a gas station that has a receiver; a transmitter; and a control device connected to the transmitter. The control device changes a transmission cycle of a signal transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver during the gas filling from the gas station into the fuel tank, according to a state quantity regarding an interior of the fuel tank.

Abstract: A gas filling system includes a vehicle having a gas tank, and a gas station that supplies the gas tank with gas. The vehicle includes a controller having a filling protocol that specifies a method of control on the gas station side that is used when the gas is filled into the gas tank. The gas station controls filling of the gas into the gas tank according to the filling protocol provided by the controller. A filling protocol specific to the vehicle is used and therefore, it is made possible to perform filling adapted to the gas tank of the vehicle.

Abstract: A fuel gas station, a fuel gas filling system, and a fuel gas filling method which can check whether information on temperature of the inside of a fuel tank is correct, so that a fuel tank is properly filled. The fuel gas station calculates a difference of temperature between a temperature of the inside of the fuel tank and a temperature of fuel gas to be supplied to the fuel tank after supplying of fuel gas for a predetermined length of time. When the calculated difference of temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the fuel gas station determines that the information on temperature of the inside of the fuel tank is abnormal, and reduces at least one of supply flow and supply quantity of fuel gas as compared to when such information is normal.
