  • Publication number: 20170235315
    Abstract: A travel instruction information generation device has a vehicle information acquisition unit, a travel instruction information generator, and a correction information generator. The vehicle information acquisition unit acquires vehicle information representing a specific state of a vehicle. The travel instruction information generator generates travel instruction information with which the vehicle performs self-driving by using three-dimensional map information. The correction information generator generates, on the basis of the vehicle information, correction information for correcting the travel instruction information.

  • Patent number: 7868202
    Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a method for producing (meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid by gas phase catalytic oxidation reaction, which can perform smooth temperature control of the heat medium, can prevent hot spot effectively and can be handled easily, and an apparatus. The invention are a method for producing (meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid by carrying out gas phase catalytic oxidation reaction of propane, propylene, isobutylene or (meth)acrolein with an oxygen-containing gas using an inorganic salt as a reaction temperature adjusting heat medium, characterized in that the material of a gland packing member which seals body part of a regulating valve arranged on a heat medium feeder and controlling supply and circulation velocity of the heat medium and a rotation axis that interfits to the body part, in such a manner that they can perform sliding, is a mica-based material, and a production apparatus.

  • Patent number: 4009471
    Abstract: A control unit supplies information and includes a memory for storing information. A data bus connected to the control unit transfers the information. A controlled unit connected to the data bus receives information transferred from the control unit. The controlled unit comprises a plurality of n circuit stages, wherein n is a whole number, connected in tandem. The controlled unit includes first to n.sup.th circuit stages and an i.sup.th circuit stage intermediate the first and n.sup.th circuit stages and designated by the control unit. Information transferred from the control unit is stored in the first circuit stage and is transferred sequentially from the first to the i.sup.th circuit stages. Information stored in the first to (i-1).sup.th circuit stages is transferred to the memory of the control unit via the data bus for storage in the memory when the control unit requires alteration of information stored in the i.sup.th circuit stage.
