Abstract: An aperture unit comprises a base plate, a cover, a plurality of movable blades, a drive ring, a drive motor, and rotation shafts. The movable blades are disposed between the base plate and the cover, and adjust the amount of light passing through by varying the size of the opening by opening and closing operations. The drive ring is disposed between the base plate and the cover, is rotationally driven when the movable blades are opened and closed, and has a plurality of cam pins that move along cam grooves in the movable blades. The cover has protrusions that protrude toward the movable blades along the optical axis direction and restrict the movement of the movable blades in the optical axis direction.

Abstract: When a subject vehicle reaches a first position of an interflow zone within an interflow lane, it is judged whether a condition for automatic interflow is satisfied. When it is judged that the condition for automatic interflow is not satisfied at the first position, a notification for urging manual interflow by a driver is stated to execute. When it is judged that the condition for automatic interfiow is satisfied at the first position, the automatic interflow is stared to execute.

Abstract: When a subject vehicle reaches a first position of an interflow zone within an interflow lane, it is judged whether a condition for automatic interflow is satisfied. When it is judged that the condition for automatic interflow is not satisfied at the first position, a notification for urging a handover of a central player of the subject vehicle is stated to execute. When it is judged that the condition for automatic interflow is satisfied at the first position, the start of the execution of the notification is temporarily suspended.

Abstract: A driving support apparatus includes a feedback control system. The feedback control system calculates each operation amount of a brake actuator and a drive actuator so as to match an actual value of a control amount indicating a motion state of the vehicle to a target value. The target value of the control amount is set so as to stop the vehicle to a target stop position. The driving support apparatus sets, when remaining distance from a current position of the vehicle to the target stop position is first distance, a feedback gain of the feedback control system to large value, as compared with the feedback gain set when the remaining distance is second distance which is greater than the first distance.

Abstract: When conditions have not been satisfied from a timing at which a first position of the interflow zone was set to a timing at which the subject vehicle reaches the first position, the first position is set as a start position where a notification for urging a handover of a central player of the subject vehicle is performed. When the condition for automatic interflow is satisfied for the first time at the timing at which the subject vehicle reaches the first position, a second position between the first position and a distal end of the interflow zone is set as the start position.

Abstract: Processes are provided for the selective recovery of lithium from brines using aqueous redox reactions, involving lithium extraction into a particulate ferric phosphate solid in the form of an iron (III) heterosite, in the presence of a reducing agent capable of reducing ionic lithium, at a controlled lithium extraction pH. Lithium elution involves exposing the loaded lithium ferrous phosphate solids, in the form of lithium iron (II) triphylite, to an oxidizing agent capable of mediating the oxidation of the sequestered atomic lithium. This is carried out at a controlled acidic lithium elution pH. Conditions in the lithium extraction and elution steps are provided so that a concentrated liquid lithium eluate is provided to subsequent steps of impurity removal and lithium carbonate precipitation.

Abstract: An autonomous driving system includes a lane change control device that performs lane change control for making a lane change from a first lane to a second lane during autonomous driving of a vehicle. The lane change control device is configured to: determine, from start to completion of the lane change control, whether or not a driver's operation is performed as an abort request operation that requests to abort the lane change control; when the abort request operation is performed, determine whether or not an abort permission condition is satisfied; when the abort permission condition is not satisfied, continue the lane change control; and, when the abort permission condition is satisfied, abort the lane change control and make the vehicle travel in the first lane. The lane change control device changes ease of satisfaction of the abort permission condition depending on the situation.

Abstract: An autonomous driving system includes an information acquiring device configured to acquire driving environment information and a travelling control device configured to execute lane change control from a first lane to a second lane during autonomous driving based on the driving environment information. The travelling control device is configured to perform a continuation determining process of determining whether to continue the lane change control based on a combination of a progress level and an influence level when a subsequent vehicle in the second lane is detected based on the driving environment information and a stop request for execution of the lane change control is detected after execution of the lane change control has started. The progress level represents progress of the lane change control and the influence level represents a predicted degree of influence of continuing the lane change control on the subsequent vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a controller for generating a target path for the vehicle to change a lane from a main lane to a diverging lane in a diverging zone from a diverging start point to a diverging end point, and causing the vehicle to travel so as to follow the target path. Here, the diverging lane include a plurality of lanes divided into a first diverging lane farthest from the main lane and a second target diverging lane closer to the main lane than the first diverging lane. The controller is configured to generate the target path based on a diverging partition line that partitions the main lane and the diverging lane in the diverging zone when traveling from the main lane through the second diverging lane of the diverging lane toward a destination.

Abstract: When a subject vehicle reaches a position PNO in a middle of an interflow zone, it is judged whether conditions for automatic interflow are satisfied. When it is judged that the conditions for automatic interflow are not satisfied at the position PNO, a notification for urging manual interflow by a driver is started. Otherwise, the notification for manual interflow is not started. In a case where the notification for manual interflow was not started, when the subject vehicle reaches the position PGU between a distal end of an interflow zone and the position PNO, the notification for manual interflow is started.

Abstract: A control device for vehicle travelling is provided, which executes following control that controls a vehicle speed in accordance with a following distance from a preceding vehicle. The following control includes LK following control that is executed so that a following distance from a preceding vehicle on a travel lane becomes an LK target following distance, under a situation of lane keep. The following control farther includes LC following control that is executed so that a following distance from a vehicle to be a preceding vehicle on a target lane becomes an LC target following distance, under a situation of lane change. In the LC following control, a vehicle speed is controlled so that a larger value is allowed as compared with at a time of execution of the LK following control, with respect to one or both of an acceleration and a jerk.
