Abstract: A navigation control system includes an obstacle detector on a hull to detect a distance from a hull to an obstacle on a water surface and a position of the obstacle, a thruster on the hull to generate a propulsive force, a steering to steer the thruster to right and left sides of the hull, and a controller configured or programmed to perform a control to determine an obstacle avoidance route based on a route function including at least an indicator of a lateral acceleration that acts on the hull during steering of the thruster when the obstacle is detected by the obstacle detector.

Abstract: A marine propulsion system includes a controller configured or programmed to perform a marine vessel traveling direction control such that a traveling direction of a marine vessel is changed to a predetermined angle equal to or greater than a first angle with respect to a traveling direction of waves toward the marine vessel when the traveling direction of the marine vessel is less than the first angle with respect to the traveling direction of the waves toward the marine vessel.

Abstract: A marine vessel maneuvering system includes a controller configured or programmed to perform a water entry determination control to determine whether or not water behind a hull that rises above a water surface due to deceleration of the hull may enter the hull when the hull is decelerating.

Abstract: A preventive maintenance support system 1 includes a CPU 10 and a memory unit 11. The CPU 10 causes a display unit 14 to display a timing chart for displaying a timing at which inventory of components included in a product increases or decreases, a timing at which the components are stocked at a manufacturing site of the product, and a necessary inventory timing at which the components are replaced for preventive maintenance of the product.

Abstract: Provided is a medicinal agent for medical applications, which can act on the function of a target cell specifically. The medicinal agent for medical applications comprises: a cell-incorporated substance that can be incorporated into a target cell specifically; and an acting substance that can act on the function of the target cell and is bound to the cell-incorporated substance.

Abstract: A content distributing system wherein the reliability of receiving content data in wireless sections is improved to realize a more reliable content data distribution. When performing a data download communication (e.g., MBMS communication mode) using a multicast, a distribution managing apparatus (102) produces and broadcasts an MBMS communication mode initiation instructing signal to each of mobile terminal apparatuses (104). In response to the MBMS communication mode initiation instructing signal, the mobile terminal apparatus (104) stops another currently running application program and initiates the MBMS communication mode. In this way, the mobile terminal apparatus (104) can use sufficient resources to execute a multicast data download communication mode, so that it can receive the broadcasted contents without fail.

Abstract: There is provided an attendance management system capable of easily checking attendance without requiring a special procedure or an individual authentication card or an attendance permission card. The attendance management system (100) includes a desk (103) having an identifier which can be imaged, a mobile telephone (102) having the camera function, and a center device (101) for checking attendance according to the identifier of the desk (103) and an identifier of the mobile telephone (102) transmitted from the mobile telephone (102). According to the identifier of the desk and the identifier of the mobile telephone, it is possible to check which student (mobile telephone) is present at which lesson (desk). Thus, it is possible to easily check attendance.

Abstract: A marking device comprises a movable arm having a working end carrying a marking tool, such as a marking head. A controller is associated with the movable arm and so programmed as to axially move the marking tool to a desired axial position opposing the inner or outer surface of the pipe and to circumferentially move the marking tool along the surface while applying a preset mark to the corresponding surface of the pipe.
