Abstract: An abnormality diagnosis apparatus performs a stop process for stopping the supply of fuel to at least one of a plurality of cylinders and supplying fuel to the other cylinders or cylinder. The abnormality diagnosis apparatus performs a catalyst abnormality diagnosis process for diagnosing that there is an abnormality in an exhaust gas control apparatus, based on the value of a first misfire counter indicating the number of times of detection of a misfire during the operation of an internal combustion engine by a prescribed amount. In the catalyst abnormality diagnosis process, the abnormality diagnosis apparatus diagnoses that there is an abnormality in the exhaust gas control apparatus with the value of the first misfire counter being smaller when the stop process is performed than when the stop process is not performed during the operation of the internal combustion engine by the prescribed amount.

Abstract: A center server serving as an image extraction device includes: a collection unit that collects imaging dates and times and imaging locations that are imaging information applied to captured images captured by an imaging device mounted in a vehicle; a search unit that searches for captured images in which a vehicle of a specific user has been captured; and an extraction unit that extracts, out of the captured images that have been searched, a captured image in a range corresponding to imaging information pertaining to a condition input by the specific user.

Abstract: The image extraction device includes a processor. The processor acquires footage of outside a vehicle captured by an image capture device onboard the vehicle, extracts from the footage plural extracted images that are images including an image captured at a point in time satisfying a predetermined condition, infers a desired image that is an image most desirable to an occupant of the vehicle from out of the plural extracted images, and outputs the desired image.

Abstract: A gas flow passage formation plate includes a plurality of projections arranged in a first direction and a second direction. The projections project toward a membrane electrode assembly. The gas flow passage formation plate further includes a gas flow passage, a water flow passage, and a plurality of openings. The gas flow passage is formed by a portion of the gas flow passage formation plate at a side opposing the membrane electrode assembly including regions between two adjacent projections. The water flow passage is formed by a portion of the gas flow passage formation plate at a side opposing a partition plate including the inside of the projections. The openings are each formed in a side wall of the projection connecting inside and outside of the projection. Each opening is arranged at only one location in one projection.

Abstract: Provided is a bonding state inspection method to accurately determine the quality of the bonding state of plate materials that have been ultrasonically bonded. The bonding state inspection method comprises a measuring step in which the rate of energy transfer rate to an anvil is measured each time a vibrating horn is pressed against a plurality of superimposed, plate materials on the anvil and the plate materials are ultrasonically bonded; a calculation step in which a variable threshold is calculated using the energy transfer rate measured each time of the ultrasonic bonding; and a determination step in which the quality of the bonding state of the plate materials is determined based on comparison between the magnitude of the energy transfer rate measured in the measuring step and the variable threshold calculated in the calculation step of the previous ultrasonic bonding.

Abstract: A gas flow passage formation plate includes projections arranged in a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The gas flow passage formation plate includes a gas flow passage formed by a portion of the gas flow passage formation plate at a side opposing a membrane electrode assembly including regions between adjacent projections, a water flow passage formed by a portion of the gas flow passage formation plate at a side opposing a partition plate including inside of the projections, and openings each formed in a side wall of the projection connecting inside and outside of the projection. In a state in which the openings sandwich the gas flow passage, the openings are arranged so as not to oppose and overlap each other in a direction orthogonal to a direction in which gas flows.

Abstract: An approximated objective function value calculator calculates individual estimated values for an evaluation parameter corresponding to individual values of a controlled parameter where the value of a non-controlled parameter is held constant at the current value in an approximated objective function estimated by an approximated objective function estimator. A proximity distance calculator calculates, as a proximity distance s for each individual value for the controlled parameter, a distance from each individual value for the controlled parameter, in a case where the value of the non-controlled parameter is held constant, to the analysis data having the nearest distance when projected onto an input variable space defined by the controlled parameter and the non-controlled parameter. An additional measurement point determining indicator calculator calculates an additional measurement point determining indicator P corresponding to each individual value of the controlled parameter as P=estimated value??×s.

Abstract: When an input video source is a movie source, even then if the input video source contains a lot of noise, pulldown can be accurately detected by controlling a gain of a first noise removal circuit based on a pulldown detected state detected from a frame difference value between an input video signal and its frame-delayed video signal to increase the magnitude of the frame difference, and inserting a comparison threshold for determining whether the frame difference is large or small to a stable position, to improve the detection accuracy of a pulldown detection circuit. Moreover, after interlaced/progressive conversion is performed by an IP conversion circuit, a resultant progressive video signal is processed by a second noise removal circuit so that noise originally contained in the input video signal is removed, resulting in a high-quality output video signal.
