Abstract: A stop assist system for moving a moving body to a stop position and making the moving body stop at the stop position includes: an external environment recognizing unit that recognizes an external environment of the moving body; and a moving body control unit that executes a driving process to make the moving body travel to the stop position based on a recognition result of the external environment recognizing unit. The moving body control unit suspends the driving process when, while the moving body is traveling to the stop position, the moving body control unit determines, based on the recognition result, that there is an object within a range of a prescribed lateral threshold value on a lateral outside of the moving body and the object extends over a prescribed longitudinal threshold value or more along a travel direction within the range.

Abstract: A scenario providing device stores a scenario file, a customization file for stating a setting value of a variable used for executing a process constituting a scenario, and a menu for selecting the scenario. A menu providing unit of the scenario providing device causes a scenario execution terminal to display the menu and decides the scenario in accordance with an option selected in the scenario execution terminal from options included in the displayed menu. The scenario providing unit of the scenario providing device transmits the scenario file of the decided scenario and the customization file. A scenario execution unit of the scenario execution terminal substitutes, in the scenario indicated by the scenario file, the setting value of the variable stated in the customization file by a user and executes the scenario.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a photocation-curable ink, an object of which is to improve the adhesion performance with respect to a recording medium without deteriorating the hardness of an ink coating film irrelevant to the type of a photopolymerization initiator. The photocation-curable ink according to the present invention uses a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl free radical or a compound including a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl free radical structure; wherein molar concentration of the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl free radical or the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl free radical structure in the ink is 19.6 mM to 39.2 mM. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain the photocation-curable ink having the high adhesion performance with respect to the printing medium.
