Abstract: To suppress the occurrence of accidents when a large passenger vehicle is stopped. This alert message display device is provided with: a stopped time prediction unit that predicts a stopped time for a large passenger vehicle that is stopped or scheduled to be stopped; a sensing unit that senses the surrounding conditions of the large passenger vehicle; and a display control unit that, on the basis of the stopped time and the surrounding conditions of the large passenger vehicle, causes a prescribed display device to display an alert message based on the surrounding conditions of the large passenger vehicle.

Abstract: This driving assistance system is provided with: a position specification unit that specifies the positions of vehicles passing along a road; a selection unit that selects a first vehicle from the vehicles; an area-setting that sets, around the first vehicle, an attention call area of a prescribed shape that moves following the movement of the first vehicle; a notification unit that notifies a second vehicle that has entered the attention call area of the presence of the first vehicle; and, an area change unit that expands the attention call area according to the state of the first vehicle.

Abstract: A detection means detects an object. A warning area setting means sets a warning area around the detected object. A notification means notifies a moving entity in the warning area of the presence of the detected object. The warning area setting means sets the warning area of a size according to at least one of detection quality information on detection accuracy of the detected object and notification communication quality information on communication quality of communication used for notifying the moving entity.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a main body provided with first flow paths through which a first fluid flows and second flow paths through which a second fluid flows. Each first flow path includes an integrated part, a buffer part, and a divided part arranged in this order from an inlet of the main body. The integrated part includes a first flow path space defined by a peripheral wall including a pair of mutually facing partition walls. The buffer part includes a deformed flow path space formed by deforming the first flow path space such that first displacement parts or each of multiple pairs of first displacement parts provided at intervals on the pair of partition walls approach each other. The divided part includes multiple divided flow path spaces formed by dividing the first flow path space by connecting the first displacement parts of each pair to each other.

Abstract: Provided is a fluid machine which can be produced to have an increased weld strength and an increased reliability, at a reduced production cost. A first and a second shells (78, 80), each having a rim and a sealing portion constituting part of the rim, are butted together with the rims (78a, 80a) held together to form a groove (82) and with the sealing portions (96, 98) in contact with each other, and joined together by a weld (84) formed in the groove over the entire length of the groove to be separated from the sealing portions by a space (100).

Abstract: Provided is a fluid machine which can be produced with a reduced weight and size at a reduced production cost. The fluid machine (1) comprises a drive unit (4) and a driven unit (6) arranged in a hermetic container (2) such that drive power is transmitted from the drive unit to the driven unit, the hermetic container (2) including a first shell (78) covering the drive unit (4) and a second shell (80) covering the driven unit (6) and joined to the first shell (78), wherein the first and second shells (78, 80) are members formed by different working processes.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus control method achieves an improvement in terms of operability for a visually-impaired user, and while doing so, facilitates operation aid by another user. A control method for controlling an information processing apparatus having a display unit equipped with a touch panel, and an operation unit equipped with a hard numeric keypad unit, includes: assigning a function to move a pointer displayed on the display unit, to the hard numeric keypad unit; and effecting control to display a numeric keypad on the display unit in a case where the function to move the pointer is assigned to the hard numeric keypad unit.

Abstract: The immunoassay element for quantitatively analyzing an antigen by determining the change in enzymatic activity of an enzyme-labelled antigen or antibody caused by an immunological reaction. The immunoassay element comprises a substrate layer containing a non-diffusible substrate which forms a diffusible material in the presence of the labelling enzyme, and a reagent layer containing a fragmenting enzyme for further fragmenting the diffusible material into a lower molecular weight product. As the non-diffusible substrate, a substrate capable of reacting solely with the labelling enzyme and incapable of reacting the fragmenting enzyme is utilized. When an endo-active glucosidase is used as the labelling enzyme, and an exo-active glucosidase is used the fragmenting enzyme in the reagent layer, the non-diffusible substrate of the substrate layer is preferred to be an endo type selectively reactive substrate, which means a substrate having a reactivity specific to endo-active glucosidase.
