Abstract: A rollover detection apparatus for a vehicle includes a first vertical acceleration sensor, a second vertical acceleration sensor, and a rollover determining section. The first vertical acceleration sensor is mounted on the vehicle and outputs a first vertical acceleration signal indicative of vertical acceleration of the vehicle. The second vertical acceleration sensor is mounted on the vehicle and outputs a second vertical acceleration signal indicative of the vertical acceleration of the vehicle. The second vertical acceleration sensor is spaced away from the first vertical acceleration sensor in a lateral direction of the vehicle. The rollover determining section determines whether a rollover of the vehicle occurs based on a difference between the first and second vertical acceleration signals.

Abstract: In order to execute a high-resolution reconstructible distance-driven back projection process and to generate a high-resolution tomographic image, an X-ray CT apparatus 1 determines the presence/absence of opposing data corresponding to each piece of target data on the basis of scanning conditions, and calculates a phase range where opposing data is present (Step 21). The X-ray CT apparatus 1 performs high-resolution conversion of a zero-insertion method on a phase range where opposing data is present, and performs high-resolution conversion using a data interpolation method on a phase range where no opposing data is present, thereby creating double sampled high-resolution projection data, and calculates a view weight (Step 22). The X-ray CT apparatus 1 performs a distance-driven high-resolution back projection process using high-resolution projection data and generates a reconstructed image (Step 23).

Abstract: It is provided a speech recognition system installed in a terminal coupled to a server via a network. The terminal holds map data including a landmark. The speech recognition system manages recognition data including a word corresponding to a name of the landmark, and sends update area information and updated time to the server. The server generates, when recognition data of the area of the update area information sent from the terminal has been changed after updated time, difference data between latest recognition data and recognition data of the update area information at a time of the updated time, and sends the generated difference data and map data of the update area information to the terminal. The terminal updates the map data based on the map data sent from the server. The speech recognition system updates the recognition data managed by the terminal based on the difference data.
