Abstract: In order to provide a map suitable for a movable apparatus which autonomously moves, a map data generation device includes a spatial data acquisition unit configured to acquire spatial data generated by measuring an object present in a space with a sensor, an attribute data acquisition unit configured to acquire attribute data indicating an attribute of a movable apparatus which autonomously moves in the space, and a map data generation unit configured to generate map data which is used when the movable apparatus autonomously moves in the space on the basis of the attribute data and the spatial data.

Abstract: An information processing device capable of improving moving efficiency of a movable apparatus is characterized by: acquiring information regarding surroundings of a movable apparatus; performing measurement in regard to position and orientation information of the movable apparatus and a reliability of the position and orientation information; analyzing motion of a different movable apparatus in the surroundings from the information regarding the surroundings of the movable apparatus; and determining whether or not the movable apparatus is to follow the different movable apparatus on the basis of the reliability of the position and orientation information of the movable apparatus and a result of the analysis.

Abstract: An apparatus for object detection detects a number of lanes included in a road on which a vehicle is traveling, detects one or more surrounding vehicles positioned in surroundings of the vehicle from a surrounding image showing the surroundings of the vehicle generated by a camera mounted in the vehicle, and determines, when more surrounding vehicles than the number of lanes detected in a predetermined range at the back of the vehicle are detected alongside in a width direction of the vehicle, that a possibility that any one of the surrounding vehicles being an emergency vehicle which is allowed to travel without obeying the traveling rule of the road is higher than when more surrounding vehicles than the number of lanes are not detected alongside in a width direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle controller includes a processor configured to detect a vehicle ahead of a host vehicle from time-series sensor signals obtained by a sensor provided on the host vehicle for sensing objects around the host vehicle, track the vehicle ahead detected from the time-series sensor signals, determine whether the vehicle ahead has performed an avoidance action, based on the result of tracking, detect, when the vehicle ahead has performed an avoidance action, a trajectory of an edge of the vehicle ahead opposite a direction of avoidance in the avoidance action, and control travel of the host vehicle so that an edge of the host vehicle opposite the direction of avoidance moves along the detected trajectory.

Abstract: A semipermeable membrane supporting material formed of a non-woven fabric comprising two or more main synthetic fibers having different fiber diameters and a binder synthetic fiber and having a semipermeable membrane application surface and a non-application surface having a semipermeable membrane application surface:non-application surface smoothness ratio of from 5.0:1.0 to 1.1:1.0, a semipermeable membrane supporting material formed of a non-woven fabric comprising a main synthetic fiber and a binder synthetic fiber, having an average breaking length of less than 4.0 km in the machine direction (MD) and the cross direction (CD) at an elongation by 5% and having a dimensional change ratio, measured under heat in the cross direction (CD), of ?0.3 to +1.0%, a spiral-type semipermeable membrane element including the above semipermeable membrane supporting material, and a process for producing a semipermeable membrane supporting material.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a non-woven fabric comprising a glass fiber which has a strength, flexibility and water resistance, has less skin irritancy and a good surface decoration property, and a process for producing the same, more specifically, to provide a non-woven fabric for a gypsum board which is used as a reinforcing material for a gypsum board placed on one side or both sides of the gypsum board, and a process for producing the same. A non-woven fabric for a gypsum board comprising 20 to 60% by weight of a glass fiber, 10 to 50% by weight of an organic fiber and 10 to 50% by weight of a fibrous binder, which contains the organic fiber at least on a gypsum core contact surface, is provided.

Abstract: The Group 4 facsimile adapter connected to a facsimile machine that performs Group 3 facsimile communication. The Group 4 facsimile adapter includes an interface to a digital data line or network, a Group 4 facsimile communication unit, an audio signal CODEC connected to the digital data line via the interface for converting between analog audio signals and digital data, and a network control unit for controlling an analog line. The Group 4 facsimile adapter is not be provided with a Group 3 modem of its own, and can instead use a Group 3 modem of the existing Group 3 facsimile machine when Group 3 facsimile communication is performed.
