Abstract: A false window unit includes: a window frame which is disposed in a wall and includes an opening; an image display device which is disposed facing the opening of the window frame, and displays a landscape image toward the indoor space through the opening of the window frame; a light source which is disposed between the window frame and the image display device, and emits light simulating sunlight toward the indoor space through the opening of the window frame; and a sash frame which blocks part of the light from the light source.
Abstract: A borehole cement slurry additive that is capable of suppressing the generation of free water from cement slurries in any environment, whether cold regions, mild regions, or hot regions; and a method for storing the same. The borehole cement slurry additive contains: an aqueous dispersion of silica having an average particle size of 3-200 nm as determined via dynamic light scattering; and a compound having an alcoholic hydroxyl group as a dispersion stabilizer, the compound being included in an amount of 1-30 mol per 1,000 g dispersion medium in the aqueous silica dispersion.
Abstract: A travel control method for a vehicle for executing autonomous travel control includes, prior to executing the autonomous travel control, presenting a driver with travel control information as to whether or not to accept execution of the autonomous travel control and detecting, in response to a presentation of the travel control information, an acceptance input made by the driver indicating that the driver accepts the execution of the autonomous travel control. The travel control method also includes: setting an input form of a present acceptance input by the driver to an input form different from an input form of a previous acceptance input.
Abstract: A passenger transportation system includes: an abnormality determination unit configured to determine whether or not a passenger feeling unwell is present in a vehicle; a transportation planning unit configured to determine, when it is determined that the passenger feeling unwell is present, a medical facility to which the passenger feeling unwell is transported and a via-point where normal passengers are dropped off; and a vehicle control unit configured to control the vehicle to travel so as to transport the passenger feeling unwell to the medical facility via the via-point.
Abstract: The present invention provides a solution and related composition of matter and methods which synergistically improves a fungicide's effectiveness in resisting undesired fungal growth. The invention also provides wood and wood products which have been treated with the solution, method or compound.

Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding situation of a vehicle, a driving controller configured to control steering and acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle independently of an operation of a driver of the vehicle; and a mode decider configured to decide on any one of a plurality of driving modes including a first driving mode and a second driving mode as a driving mode of the vehicle. The recognizer recognizes a sign existing within a reference range of a route along which the vehicle travels. The mode decider changes the driving mode of the vehicle from the second driving mode to the first driving mode when the driving mode of the vehicle is the second driving mode and when the number of signs recognized by the recognizer exceeds a first reference value.
Abstract: A display control device includes an acquisition unit for acquiring a communication state of each of a plurality of communication devices, and a control unit for displaying the communication state of each of the plurality of communication devices in association with each communication device.
Abstract: A photoelectric tube includes a housing including a light transmitting portion, an electron emitting portion including a photoelectric surface disposed inside the housing, an electron capturing portion disposed between the light transmitting portion and the photoelectric surface inside the housing, and a conductive layer disposed on a light transmitting portion side of at least a part of the electron capturing portion to face the photoelectric surface inside the housing and configured to allow light to pass therethrough.
