Abstract: An activity map creating device creates an activity situation of a moving object, and outputs an activity map visualizing the activity situation of the moving object. The device includes a moving object detector that detects the moving object from a captured image, and a first activity value obtainer that obtains a moving object activity value for each of a plurality of detection elements. The device further includes a target area setter that sets a target area, a second activity value obtainer that aggregates, in the target area, moving object activity values of the respective detection elements, and a map generator that creates the activity map for the target area based on the aggregation. The device further includes an output information generator that creates output information on the activity map.

Abstract: A method for producing polyester resin includes: esterifying an alcoholic component, and an acid component containing polyvalent carboxylic acid and/or an ester-forming derivative thereof in a reaction solution. A condition of reaction pressure is changed from a pressurized state to a normal pressure state, or to a depressurized state under a condition (I) that an acid-based extent of reaction of the esterification is 76-94%, and a condition (II) that an undissolved acid component is present in the reaction solution.

Abstract: A semiconductor device in which a desired device is formed, comprising a semiconductor substrate having a first impurity region of a first conductivity type provided around an edge of a region in which the desired device is formed, and a second impurity region of the first conductivity type provided in a scribe region of the semiconductor substrate; wherein a channel stopper is formed between the first impurity region and the second impurity region.

Abstract: An appearance change of an information processing device, which has a plurality of operation modes and whose appearance is changed in accordance with change of operation mode, is displayed on a display screen as graphic data representing the appearance. When a memory card is extracted from the information processing device, an operation of the information processing device is reset to avoid a run away phenomenon. Furthermore, in an inquiry and communication operation, only necessary pages of resultant inquiry information are printed out at a time after the communication line is disconnected.
