Abstract: Estimation of the range of activities of a target user is enabled in a relatively narrow range. A target user whose location is to be calculated has an account in social media. An offline friend determination means (111) calculates an offline friendship level on the basis of friend information obtained from at least one social media account related to the target user. The offline friendship level is the degree of friendship in real space between the target user and the at least one social media account related to the target user. A friend weight calculation means (112) calculates a weight to be assigned to the friend information on the basis of the offline friendship level. A candidate location score calculation means (113) calculates a score representing the possibility of the target user being active at a candidate location on the basis of the friend information and the corresponding weight.

Abstract: An assembled wire has a substantially rectangular cross section, and is formed by assembling a plurality of strands. Each strand has a conductor portion and a strand insulating layer covering the conductor portion. At least a part of the assembled plurality of strands in the longitudinal direction is covered with an outer insulating layer. The strand is formed as follows. First, the strand insulating layer is coated on the outer periphery of the conductor portion. A large number of voids are formed in a resin constituting the strand insulating layer. From this state, the strand is formed, for example, by collapsing the strand insulating layer by heating and pressurizing. At this time, it is possible to uniformly collapse the strand insulating layer by crushing the internal voids. Therefore, the voids in the strand are crushed and flattened in the thickness direction of the strand insulating layer over the entire periphery.

Abstract: An evaporator for use in a loop heat pipe includes an evaporator body, a heat receiving portion, an inflow portion, a discharge portion, a wick, and a partition. The evaporator body includes an internal space. The heat receiving portion forms an outer surface of the evaporator body to receive heat from an outside of the evaporator body. A working fluid condensed into a liquid phase by a condenser flows into the inflow portion in the internal space. The discharge portion is in the internal space, to discharge a gas-phase working fluid evaporated by the heat received by the heat receiving portion. The working fluid flowing into the inflow portion permeates into the wick in the internal space. The partition partitions the internal space into the inflow portion and the discharge portion with the wick. The wick is sandwiched between a surface of the partition and the heat receiving portion.
