Abstract: An automated driving assistance apparatus includes an occupant's emotion learning section and a control parameter setting section. The occupant's emotion learning section creates an occupant's emotion model based on vehicle driving state information and occupant's emotion information. The occupant's emotion model is used to estimate an emotion of the occupant from a vehicle driving state. The control parameter setting section calculates an ideal driving state based on the occupant's emotion model, and set a control parameter for automated driving of the vehicle based on the ideal driving state. The control parameter setting section output input values relevant to the vehicle driving state to the occupant's emotion model, and select, from the input values received by the occupant's emotion model, an input value that causes a current occupant's emotion to become closer to a target emotion as the ideal driving state of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes an interaction determination unit, an occupant emotion acquisition unit, and a vehicle controller. The interaction determination unit is configured to determine a second vehicle that interacts with a first vehicle during automated driving. The occupant emotion acquisition unit is configured to acquire an emotion of an occupant of the first vehicle. The vehicle controller is configured to perform vehicle control of the first vehicle, on the basis of the emotion of the occupant of the first vehicle and an emotion of an occupant of the second vehicle that has been determined to interact with the first vehicle by the interaction determination unit.

Abstract: A driving advice apparatus includes: an operation determiner; and an advice generator. The operation determiner uses a difference between an emotion of a driver and an emotion of a passenger to determine a specific driving operation of the driver. The advice generator generates an advice for the driver about the specific driving operation on a basis of a difference between a driving feature of the driver and a driving feature of the passenger.

Abstract: There is provided a device for transmitting optical data installed in an automated guided vehicle and a plurality of manufacturing machines which are arranged on a manufacturing line so as to transmit data necessary for delivery of a transfer object by two-way communication within a transportation system. The transportation system has an interlocking mechanism for suspending an operation when a trouble occurs and transports the transfer object to the plurality of manufacturing machines by the automated guided vehicle. The device includes a non-volatile memory for recording and holding a communication log, and communication log recording means for writing a communication log in said non-volatile memory and outputting recorded contents of the communication log to an external device when there is an inquiry from the external device.

Abstract: A fluorescent analyzer including a light source which irradiates a sample with direct light, a first wave selector for passing a predetermined wavelength of light emitted from the light source, a sample cell for holding the sample which is irradiated by light passed by the first wave selector, a second wave selector arranged sidewards of the sample outside a direct path of light from the light source passing straight through the sample for passing light of a second predetermined wavelength emitted from the sample upon irradiation by direct light from the light source, a first light detector for producing a first output signal indicative of the amount of light of the second predetermined wavelength passed by the second wave selector, a second light detector for producing a second output signal indicative of the amount of direct light of the first predetermined wavelength passing straight through the sample, a correction circuit for performing a predetermined correction on the amplitude of the first output sign
