Abstract: It is difficult to check the suitability of a radio anechoic room as a measuring environment, even when countermeasures for preventing reflection of electromagnetic waves and blocking electromagnetic waves are taken against the radio anechoic room and incidental equipment disposed therein, for example. Depending on the circumstances, measurement reliability is decreased when the measurement is taken without recognizing that these countermeasures are insufficient. Therefore, there is a demand for a device that can easily and quickly check whether a measuring environment, such as a radio anechoic room, or a measuring system is suitable for measurement.

Abstract: Driving support systems, methods, and programs for a host vehicle receive braking information from another vehicle traveling in front of the host vehicle. The systems, methods, and programs obtain current speed information of the host vehicle and obtain inter-vehicle distance information indicating a distance between the other vehicle and the host vehicle. The systems, methods, and programs generate host vehicle braking information based on the other vehicle braking information, the vehicle speed information, and the inter-vehicle distance information, the host vehicle braking information recommending a braking operation for the host vehicle. Based on the host vehicle braking information, the systems, methods, and programs control the host vehicle.

Abstract: Responsive to braking, a CPU of a driving assist apparatus calculates an average deceleration of the vehicle and then calculates a braking distance. The CPU further calculates a final position at which the vehicle will come to a stop, on the basis of the braking distance. The CPU next activates an assist display for display a map including, superimposed thereon, the route to the final position and an arrival indicator indicating the stop (final) position of the vehicle.

Abstract: A print data forming apparatus has an authentication information setting unit which sets authentication information into a print job. A print processing apparatus has: a print job storing unit which receives and stores the print job in which the authentication information has been set; an operation panel control unit which receives the authentication information based on a print request; an authentication discriminating unit which compares the authentication information based on the print request received through the operation panel control unit with the authentication information of the stored print job, thereby discriminating whether or not they coincide; and a print job managing unit which, if they coincide, allows all print jobs having the authentication information that coincides with the authentication information based on the print request among the stored print jobs to be print-processed. A print system which can perform the authentication printing with high workability is obtained.

Abstract: In an image output device a test chart 18 including tests charts 6 of each color is used, and a tone correction table is calculated. The test charts 6 are patterned in a checkered pattern, each including continuous areas 10 in which the tones increase in steps and reference areas 11 for comparison with the continuous areas 10. The reference areas 11 are formed of white ground of paper in a highlight proof part 7, a solid pattern with a maximum density in a shadow proof part 8, and halftone dot-concentrated or line screens with a lower resolution than in the continuous areas in a middle proof part 9. Tone correction values are calculated from characteristic values of the highlight, shadow and middle parts, obtained from visual data of the test chart 18.

Abstract: A management computer (21) is placed in a home country, and an instructor terminal (31) and a driver terminal (32) are placed in a delivery area overseas. The management computer (21) generates screen information, displayed in a domestic language and including a delivery instruction for a package, and transmits the screen information toward the instructor terminal (31) and the driver terminal (32). The instructor terminal (31) or the like, specifies a language, to be used in an area to which a delivery destination belongs, from the address of the delivery destination included in the delivery instruction in the received screen information, and translates the screen information in the specified language, then displays it. When a display language is designated, the instructor terminal (31) or the like translates the screen information in the designated language and displays it.
