Abstract: A display control device includes a driving plan setter and a notification controller. The driving plan setter sets the driving plan of a vehicle equipped with a display from a departure point to a destination. The notification controller controls the display that displays the driving plan. When the driving plan setter changes the driving plan, the notification controller causes the display to display a changed driving plan, by controlling the display. The notification controller includes an emphasis display enabler that causes the display to display the changed driving plan in an emphasized manner, when the driving plan is changed by the driving plan setter.

Abstract: For providing a method capable of physically and objectively evaluating the consistency and state of a stool, provided is a method for measuring a stool consistency with a texture analyzer provided with a probe, the probe having a shape capable of measuring a consistency of a stool in a liquid form and in a solid form.

Abstract: A gear positioning device according to an embodiment includes: a chuck configured to hold a gear; a rotation drive mechanism configured to rotationally drive the chuck so that the gear rotates around a predetermined rotation axis; a displacement meter configured to continuously or periodically acquire a measurement value representing a distance between a reference point located outside the gear and an outer peripheral surface of the gear while rotating the gear; and a control device configured to set a part of the outer peripheral surface of the gear as a measurement object on the basis of a rotation angle of the gear, the measurement value, and at least one predetermined reference value and control the rotation drive mechanism so that the measurement object is disposed at a reference position.

Abstract: A jukebox apparatus including a magazine, a drive unit, a carriage for conveying a disk between the magazine and the drive unit, and a temporary storage unit movable between a transfer position in front of the drive unit and an escape position. The carriage has gripping arms, pinch rollers, and a pushing arm for transferring the disk. A control unit is provided to carry out a retry of transferring the disk by displacing the carriage when the disk is not transferred. The pushing time of the pushing arm can be changed by a retry of pushing the disk by the pushing arm. The temporary storage unit is normally monitored.

Abstract: The gas generator composition contains sodium azide and an oxidizing agent as major components. This gas generator composition additionally contains 2 to 8% by weight of magnesium aluminate. To produce this composition, sodium azide and the oxidizing agent are admixed to a colloidal silica having a silica concentration of 3 to 15% by weight to form a slurry, followed by granulation and drying of the slurry.

Abstract: A gas generator composition, primarily containing perchlorate and cellulose acetate is provided to generate a large amount of gas without forming any substantial amount of harmful carbon monoxide. A metal oxide is additionally incorporated in an amount of more than 5% by weight and not more than 40% by weight. For example, 50 to 87% by weight of potassium perchlorate and 8 to 26% by weight of cellulose acetate are incorporated in the composition. The gas generator composition contains 36% by weight or less of bitetrazole metal hydrate, preferably bitetrazole manganese dihydrate, since it forms no corrosive residue after burning. The composition contains a nonmetallic compound consisting at least of nitrogen and hydrogen and containing at least 11% by weight of nitrogen. As such compound, nitroguanidine, guanidine nitrate, etc. is employed. The compounds preferably contains 10 to 83% by weight of nitrogen. The compound is preferably incorporated in an amount of 10 to 45% by weight.

Abstract: A gas generating composition comprises an azide of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, and manganese dioxide for oxidizing the azide. The composition further includes a clay material containing at least 37% by weight of silicon dioxide and having a mixing ratio of at least 5.5% by weight. This composition can allow burning to be conducted at low temperature to ensure the generation of the desired gas. The strength of a pellet of the composition can be improved without generating a toxic gas or reducing the burning rate or reducing the working efficiency in producing the pellet.
