Abstract: A system design device generates, by repeatedly applying to requirements a concretization means that converts an abstract component included in the system into a concrete configuration with respect to the requirements of the system, a tree structure based on a configuration plan of the system, performs a search by selecting the configuration plan with a higher evaluation value in the tree structure generated, outputs the configuration plan in which all components are concretized as a concrete configuration; and calculates an evaluation value of the configuration plan by considering an evaluation value of a logical configuration plan of the system, and an evaluation value of a physical configuration plan of a device requiring physical arrangement included in the configuration plan.

Abstract: An information processing device provided with a similar information acquisition unit that, when definition information for a design target has been input, acquires similar requirement information, which is requirement information associated with definition information similar to definition information of the design target, based on association information in which a set of definition information including one or multiple requirement elements, requirement information indicating the requirements represented by a component group, and configuration information indicating a configuration represented by a component group have been associated in advance, and a configuration design unit that generates new configuration information with respect to requirement information based on the definition information of the design target, by applying conversion rules that were applied to a portion of a component group represented by the similar requirement information, and thereafter performing the configuration generation proc

Abstract: An information processing apparatus to perform: acquiring configuration proposal information including a plurality of first quantitative requirements; calculating an expected value of each of the quantitative values in each of the first quantitative requirements based on a second quantitative requirement that is a combination of quantitative requirements each representing a requirement in which a quantitative value regarding configurations of a plurality of second information communication systems is set; converting, for each of the first quantitative requirements, a value range of the expected value of each of the quantitative values of the first quantitative requirement to a certain range based on a normalization function defined according to a type of the first quantitative requirement; calculating an evaluation value of the configuration proposal information based on the converted expected values of the quantitative values of the first quantitative requirements; and outputting the evaluation value to an o

Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes a dashboard extending in a vehicle width direction and defining a cabin and a power compartment in front of the cabin; a power unit arranged in the power compartment; a floor panel extending rearward in the cabin from the dashboard; and a dash crossmember projected forward from the dashboard and extending in the vehicle width direction. The dash crossmember has a first portion at least partially overlapping the power unit in a front view; and a second portion extending outward in the vehicle width direction from the first portion. A compressive strength of the first portion is lower than a compressive strength of the second portion.

Abstract: A fastening member in an embodiment consists of a bolt and a nut. A hard layer made of a metal nitride is formed on a surface of a threaded portion of the bolt or a surface of a threaded portion of the nut.

Abstract: The faucet apparatus arranged inside a counter along a wall surface can be made thin in a height direction, and the counter can be made thin in the height direction. The faucet apparatus 1 includes a cold water supply pipe 6 supplying cold water, a hot water supply pipe 8 supplying hot water, a water temperature control function unit 10 capable of mixing hot water and cold water, and a flow path 14 extending from the water temperature control function unit. The flow path 14 forms a flow path crossing part 40, 240 crossing with at least any of at least the cold water supply pipe 6, the hot water supply pipe 8 or a downstream side flow path 220 on a downstream side of the outflow path while distinguishing respective inner flow paths from each other.

Abstract: A shower device includes: a driving unit including a housing and a core allowed to reciprocate by water which is introduced into the housing; a shower part allowed to swing; a water guide channel introducing water which is introduced into the housing to the shower part; and a power transmission part transmitting a motion of the core to the shower part. The shower part sprinkles water while swinging when water is introduced into the housing.

Abstract: A shower apparatus includes: a shower unit operable for swinging and sprinkling water while swinging; a driving unit configured to generate driving force which is used for the swing of the shower unit by water; a shower channel configured to guide water to the shower unit via the driving unit; a power transmission unit configured to couple the driving unit with the shower unit and transmit the driving force generated by the driving unit to the shower unit; and a swing stop mechanism operable to stop the swinging of the shower unit. The shower unit sprinkles the water that is used for generating the driving force at the driving unit. The swing stop mechanism is configured to stop the swinging of the shower unit while keeping sprinkling water from the shower unit. The sprinkling flow rate from the shower unit before stopping the swinging is equal to the sprinkling flow rate from the shower unit after stopping the swinging.
