Abstract: A vehicle transfer assistance system includes an adjustment position acquisition unit configured to acquire an adjustment position of a seat element set in a boarded vehicle boarded by a user, a specific distance calculation unit configured to calculate, based on the acquired adjustment position, a predetermined specific distance around a seat of the boarded vehicle formed by the seat element, the specific distance being associated with a physical feature of the user sitting on the seat, a specific distance storing unit configured to store the user and the specific distance in association with each other, and a converted adjustment position calculation unit configured to calculate a converted adjustment position that is the adjustment position of the seat element for reproducing the specific distance in a transfer vehicle different from the boarded vehicle when the user boards on the transfer vehicle.

Abstract: The control section of a control apparatus executes a first control for operating a voltage application section such as to cause a current to flow in a first direction through a gas sensor in a first period, and a second control for operating the voltage application section such as to cause a current to flow in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, through the gas sensor in a second period. The control apparatus changes the length of at least one of the first period and the second period based on a comparison between a first measurement value, which is the absolute value of a value measured by a sweep measurement section during execution of the first control, and a second measurement value, which is the absolute value of a value measured by the sweep measurement section during execution of the second control.

Abstract: This image recording apparatus includes recording heads and a detector for detecting a thick part of a recording medium. Before the thick part reaches a recording region, printing by means of the recording heads is stopped, and the relative position of the recording heads and the recording region is switched to a retracted position in the image recording apparatus. After the thick part passes through the recording region, the relative position of the recording heads and the recording region is switched to a printing position, and the printing of a new unit image is started from a position an integral multiple of a printing period apart from a last start position. This restrains a difference between the periods of image recording positions before and after the suspension of a printing step while restraining contact between the recording heads and the thick part.
