Abstract: An information presentation device is provided with a receiving unit, a transmitting unit and an incentive issuing unit. The receiving unit receives vehicle location data indicating a vehicle location of a vehicle and facility usage data indicating that the vehicle has used a vehicle service facility. The transmitting unit transmits service facility data including location information of a vehicle service facility in a vicinity of the vehicle location or in a vicinity of a travel route of the vehicle, and commercial facility data including location information of a commercial facility associated with the vehicle service facility. The incentive issuing unit issues an incentive to a user or a vehicle to use the commercial facility.

Abstract: An information processing generates a moving path of an image capturing area that moves between a first area that is a portion of an area to be captured by an image capturing apparatus and a second area that is a portion of the area to be captured and is different from the first area, based on a position of an object detected in a video obtained by the image capturing apparatus.

Abstract: This amphibious vehicle is provided with a body (11), a traveling device (12) that causes the body (11) to travel on land, a sailing device (13) that causes the body (11) to sail on water, a front flap (31) of which the distal end is inclined upward and the proximal end is rotatably supported by a horizontal shaft (34) on the front end of the body (11), a hydraulic damper (32) serving as a damping member that damps displacement of the front flap (31) relative to the body (11), and a compression coil spring (33) serving as a restoring member that restores the position of the front flap (31) relative to the body (11).

Abstract: A rolling reduction apparatus includes a pair of plate members attached to both ends in a width direction on a bottom of a floating structure. Each of the plate members has a plurality of through-holes arranged in a longitudinal direction of the floating structure. The rolling motion of the floating structure is reduced because eddies are formed to consume energy when water passes through the through-holes.

Abstract: Provided is a wind turbine generator that prevents an increase of weight of a wind turbine blade and a reduction in ventilation efficiency and that realizes good ventilation cooling of a rotor head with a simple structure. The wind turbine generator includes: a hollow interior space formed in a wind turbine blade; an exhaust path provided through a wind-turbine-blade forming member at a tip end of the wind turbine blade or in a vicinity of the tip end, so as to allow the interior space to communicate with an outside of the wind turbine blade; and an opening that allows the interior space to communicate with a rotor head main body. Ventilation cooling inside the rotor head main body is performed by using a pressure difference between the tip end of the wind turbine blade and the rotor head main body, produced by a rotation of the wind turbine blade.
