Abstract: A composition for hot melt adhesive contains a poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin (A) and a polycaprolactone (B) and has a reduced melt viscosity and favorable mechanical properties. The poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin (A) may be a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) copolymer. A layered body is produced by heat-melting the composition, applying the heat-melted composition to a first base material and then affixing a surface of the first base material on which the composition has been applied to a second base material, and cooling the composition to adhere the first base material and the second base material together.

Abstract: An object detection device is configured to be mounted to an own vehicle to detect an object present around the own vehicle. The object detection device includes a coordinate acquisition section and an object recognition section. The coordinate acquisition section acquires position coordinates of a detection point corresponding to the object on the basis of a plurality of images captured at different positions along with movement of the own vehicle by one imaging section mounted to the own vehicle. The object recognition section recognizes the object without using position coordinates of a movement point that is a detection point corresponding to a moving object but using position coordinates of a stop point that is a detection point different from the movement point.
