Abstract: A platoon traveling system includes a control device that controls traveling of an own vehicle in adaptive cruise control that adjusts a vehicle speed of the own vehicle in such a manner that following a preceding vehicle at a certain interval is performed. Further, when a preceding vehicle having a high wind-shielding effect is detected on a front side of the own vehicle by a detection device provided in the own vehicle while the own vehicle is traveling alone in the adaptive cruise control, and a vehicle speed of the preceding vehicle is higher than an ACC set vehicle speed set as a vehicle speed in the adaptive cruise control of the own vehicle, the control device proposes to increase the ACC set vehicle speed by a predetermined increase range to a passenger of the own vehicle by using a proposal device provided in the own vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle is provided with a control device configured to control a vehicle behavior for driver assistance or automated driving. The control device is configured to set the driving mode at the time of tracking based on the target following distance at the time of tracking making the host vehicle follow a tracked object at the time of driver assistance or the time of automated driving when performing that tracking and to set it to a driving mode by which the allowable range of the acceleration degree at the time of acceleration or deceleration is expanded at least at one of the upper limit side and lower limit side when the set value of the target following distance is small compared to when it is large.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus capable of performing appropriate processing under a predetermined usage agreement. To this end, the information processing apparatus repeatedly communicates with a server saving agreement information and obtains the agreement information in a case where the information processing apparatus is in a second state in which a predetermined service is available. In this case, the information processing apparatus switches from the second state to a first state in which the predetermined service is unavailable based on a time and date at which the communication with the server fails.

The reference governor derives the target values by correcting the provisional target values of the plurality of control outputs using a calculation model which outputs a relationship between the correction amounts from the provisional target values of the plurality of control outputs, by inputting the current values of the state quantities a ratio of the correction amounts from the provisional target values between the plurality of control outputs is set to a predetermined correction ratio. The correction ratio is set based on the values of the operating parameters of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a rare-earth bonded magnet as follows: A compound 10, prepared by pelletizing a kneaded mixture of a rare-earth-bonded-magnet composition containing a rare-earth magnet powder, a binder resin and an antioxidant, is stored in a hopper 91, and fed into a cylinder 3 through a feeding pipe 92. Meanwhile, piston 81 is extended by driving an oil-hydraulic cylinder 8, and moved downward to compact the compound 10 fed into the cylinder 3 while gradually transferring the compound downward inside the cylinder 3. The cylinder 3 and a heating portion 41 are heated by heaters 5, the compound 10 passing therethrough is heated to become a melted material 11, and the melted material 11 is continuously extruded out from a die 4 in the downward-vertical direction, and is then cooled and solidified when passing through a tip portion 43, thus obtaining a molded body 12 of a rare-earth-bonded-magnet.

Abstract: A rare earth bonded magnet comprising a rare earth magnet powder bonded with a binder resin is manufactured by extrusion or injection molding. A rare earth bonded magnet manufactured by extrusion molding has a rare earth magnet powder content of 78.1 to 83.0 percent by volume. A rare earth bonded magnet manufactured by injection molding has a rare earth magnet powder content of 68.0 to 76.0 percent by volume. Preferably, the rare earth metal powder is at least one of Sm--Co alloys, R--Fe--B alloys wherein R is at least one of rare earth elements including Y, and Sm--Fe--N alloys. Preferably, the thermoplastic resin include polyamide, liquid crystal polymer, and Polyphenylene sulfide. Preferably, the rare earth bonded metal has a void ratio of 2 percent by volume or less. A rare earth bonded magnet is manufactured by kneading a rare earth magnetic composition comprising a rare earth magnet powder and a thermoplastic resin, and by extruding or injecting the mixture after kneading.

Abstract: A rare earth bonded magnet formed by bonding a rare earth magnet powder with a binding resin contains the rare earth magnet powder, and a thermoplastic resin serving as the binding resin in an amount within a range of from 1 to 5 wt. %, and preferably further contains an oxidation inhibitor. As the rare earth magnet powder, for example, at least one of an Sm--Co alloy, an R--Fe--B alloy (where, R represents at least a kind of rare earth elements including Y) and an Sm--Fe--N alloy can be appropriately used. As the thermoplastic resin, for example, polyamide, a liquid crystal polymer, or a PPS is appropriately employed. As the oxidation inhibitor, a chelating agent is appropriately applicable. In such a rare earth bonded magnet, the thermoplastic resin covers the outer surface of the rare earth magnet powder 2, and is present so as to prevent particles of the magnet powder from coming into contact with each other. Such a rare earth bonded magnet should preferably have a void ratio of no more than 2 vol. %.
