Abstract: An X-ray diagnosis apparatus according to one embodiment includes an imaging system, a display, processing circuitry and system control circuitry. The imaging system includes an X-ray tube that generates an X-ray, an X-ray diaphragm that restricts an irradiation range of the X-ray, an X-ray detector that detects the X-ray, and a couch on which a subject is to be laid for irradiation with the X-ray. The display displays an X-ray image with numerical values indicating positions on the X-ray image generated by X-ray imaging of the subject by the imaging system. The processing circuitry recognizes a numerical value based on a collected user's utterance with respect to the numerical values. The system control circuitry performs control of the imaging system in accordance with a position indicated by the recognized numerical value among the numerical values.

Abstract: A standby state maintaining device includes a secondary battery disposed separately from a vehicle battery, a temperature sensor for the secondary battery, a charge storage member that supports charge and discharge in a temperature outside a reference range, and a controller having a first operation mode of, in a state in which a starting switch of a vehicle is off, maintaining a power saving standby state of a vehicle-mounted information apparatus by using the secondary battery when a detected value provided by the temperature sensor is within the reference range, and maintaining the power saving standby state by using the charge storage member when the detected value is outside the reference range.

Abstract: A standby state maintaining device includes a secondary battery provided separately from a vehicle battery, a temperature sensor for the secondary battery, and a controller having a first operation mode of, in a state in which a starting switch of a vehicle is off, maintaining a power saving standby state of a vehicle-mounted information apparatus by selectively using either the secondary battery or the vehicle battery in accordance with a detected value provided by the temperature sensor.

Abstract: A plurality of sections in a planned travel route include a first basic section for a first automatic driving level, a second basic section for a second automatic driving level lower than the first automatic driving level, and a change preparation section and a main section in the first basic section. An information output control device controls an information output system so as to perform information output in accordance with an output structure allowed in a current section, among a plurality of types of output structures each determined by a combination of output information, an output format, and an output destination device. Allowed output structures for the change preparation section include part of not-allowed output structures for the main section and also include at least part of allowed output structures for the second basic section.

Abstract: An electric discharge machining method of removing material having a dimension (d) and a removal surface area (S) from a workpiece. A removal volume (V) of the material to be removed is obtained based on the dimension (d) and the removal surface area (S). Machining conditions are set, and a removal volume rate (Vm) corresponding to the set machining conditions is obtained. Machining time (T) is determined based on the removal volume (V) and removal volume rate (Vm). The electric discharge machining is completed when the machining time (T) has elapsed from the start of electric discharge machining.

Abstract: A wire electrode machining method which machines a slit (74) corresponding to a fixed path in a workpiece by electrical discharges while moving one of either a wire electrode (22) and a workpiece (W) with respect to the other based on an NC program which is a collection of program blocks, which define straight line or curved line segments of a fixed path (70), including a step of recording the position of the wire electrode which has strayed from the fixed path after machining has stopped; a step designating a segment from a collection of fixed path segments; a step determining the connection position (82) at which the wire electrode position can be connected to the designated segment (80) at the shortest distance; and a step of moving the wire electrode to a connection position in order to restore the wire electrode to a fixed path.
