Abstract: A radar device generates pair data items by associating angle peaks of an up section and angle peaks of a down section. Thereafter, on the basis of a plurality of specific pair data items whose positions are close to each other in an angle direction and which are substantially the same in the position in a distance direction intersecting with the angle direction and are substantially the same in relative speed, the radar device derives one representative pair data item. The derivation of one representative pair data item is performed before continuity determination of a continuity determining unit at the same process timing is performed.

Abstract: A drilling device is brought into an idling state by maintaining the engine speed at a first speed while waiting for a drilling operation. The engine speed is increased to a second speed that is higher than the first speed when any one of a rotation operation, a feeding operation, a rod exchange operation, or a boom operation is performed for a rock drill. The engine speed is increased to a third speed that is higher than the second speed when a striking operation or a flushing operation is performed, and the engine speed is decreased from the third speed to the first speed after the striking operation and the flushing operation finish. For example, the first speed is a low speed, the second speed is a medium speed, and the third speed is a high speed.

The systems, methods, and programs set a destination and search for a first travel route from a departure point to the set destination using the acquired basic congestion information. Based on the first travel route, the systems, methods, and programs determine, whether center traffic information is necessary to be acquired. Only when it is determined that the center traffic information is necessary, the systems, methods, and programs acquire the center traffic information, the center traffic information being congestion information of a link other than the specific links, and search for a second travel route from the departure point to the set destination using the acquired additional congestion information.

The lead-free solder alloy has a composition consisting essentially of Sn: 0.1-3% and/or Bi: 0.1-2%, and a remainder of In and unavoidable impurities and has the effect of suppressing the occurrence of voids at the time of soldering. The connecting member is prepared by melting the lead-free solder alloy, immersing a metal substrate in the melt, and applying ultrasonic vibrations to the molten lead-free solder alloy and the metal substrate to form a lead-free solder alloy layer on the surface of the metal substrate. A heat sink and a package are soldered to each other through this connecting member by reflow heating in the presence of flux.
