Abstract: A machining surface of a die are provided with a pair of inclined surfaces facing each other across a gap and a flat surface interposed therebetween. Each inclined surface includes an inner end portion on a side near the flat surface and an outer end portion on a side farther away from the flat surface. The molding method includes a mounting step of mounting the metal sheet on the die to span both inclined surfaces, and a pressing step of forming a reduced-thickness portion by pressing the metal sheet between the punch and the inclined surfaces of the die. The pressing step includes setting a bottom dead center of the punch to maintain a gap formed between the inner end portion and a surface of the metal sheet facing the inner end portion.

Abstract: A first recessing-and-projecting line is formed in a trailing end of a preceding first belt material and a second recessing-and-projecting line is formed in a leading end of a newly fed out second belt material, and the first recessing-and-projecting line and the second recessing-and-projecting line are fitted to each other, thereby joining the first belt material and the second belt material. Note that the first recessing-and-projecting line and the second recessing-and-projecting line pass through a holding section that holds an element in the first belt material or the second belt material.

Abstract: An information distribution device capable of distributing call attention information for calling attention to an event after confirming whether or not an event has occurred depending on circumstances is provided. A communication unit receives vehicle information, which relates to the behavior of a vehicle, and image information, which includes an image photographed by a vehicle has photographed, and distributes the call attention information for calling attention to an event, to a vehicle. A control unit determines whether or not to make a request to a vehicle for transmission of the image information, based on vehicle information or weather information, and makes a request to a vehicle for transmission of an image if it is determined to make a request for transmission of the image information.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a controller transfers, when first data in second management unit larger than a first management unit is stored in a second buffer, the first data stored in the second buffer to a first host through a first port. After the transfer, the controller deletes second data stored in the first buffer, the second data being the same data as the transferred first data and stores second read data following the first read data in the first buffer and the second buffer in the first management unit.

Abstract: A database construction system constructs a database storing broadcast channels which are receivable in each area. A receiving unit receives probe information from a plurality of broadcast receiving apparatuses, the probe information including reception intensity of each of the broadcast channels and positions of the broadcast receiving apparatuses. An information storage unit stores the probe information received by the receiving unit. An extracting unit extracts the probe information with the same broadcast channel as that of new probe information, which is the probe information newly received by the receiving unit, among the probe information transmitted from a transmission area of the new probe information, from the information storage unit. A determining unit determines whether the new probe information is valid on the basis of the reception intensity included in the probe information extracted by the extracting unit and the reception intensity included in the new probe information.

Abstract: An information providing system is provided. An in-vehicle apparatus is provided in a vehicle. The in-vehicle apparatus receives a broadcasting. An information providing apparatus transmits area information related to a broadcast channel that is receivable in a traveling area of the vehicle to the in-vehicle apparatus. A storage unit stores the area information for each traveling area. A receiving unit receives probe information including a predetermined reference position or a position of the vehicle from the in-vehicle apparatus. A deciding unit decides a reference area set including a plurality of traveling areas which are within a predetermined distance from the reference position included in the received probe information for each vehicle. An accumulating unit accumulates the received probe information. A determining unit determines a traveling record of the vehicle in each traveling area on the basis of the accumulated probe information.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor apparatus including a slave device which includes a plurality of slave interfaces, an adjustment unit, a processing unit, and a processing unit. The plurality of slave interfaces are connected to the bus to receive transmission instructions from master devices at the first frequency. The adjustment unit decides a processing sequence of the transmission instructions which are received through the plurality of slave interfaces according to priority information. On priority information, a plurality of master devices are prioritized in a sequence depending on association of processing content among the plurality of master devices. The processing unit performs a data transmission process corresponding to a transmission instruction at a second frequency according to the processing sequence decided by the adjustment unit. The transmission instruction instructs to transform data to/from a module. The second frequency is higher than the first frequency.
