Abstract: A vehicle front body structure is provided for reliably transferring a collision load to a crash can and a front frame by preventing a bumper beam from buckling during a small overlap collision. Bending rigidity of the bumper beam in a vehicle width direction is such that 1) a bending moment generated on the bumper beam when a collision load in a direction toward a vehicle rear side is applied to an extending section, which extends outward in the vehicle width direction from a crash can fixed section, is the highest in a vehicle width direction inner end portion of the crash can fixed section on a side where the collision load is applied, and 2) the bending moment is continuously reduced as a distance from the vehicle width direction inner end portion in the vehicle width direction increases.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting a risk of developing cancer. DNA samples were prepared from blood and cancer tissues of 2480 cancer patients and analyzed for the nucleotide sequences of exon regions using NGS. As a result, among the cancer patients, 7 patients were confirmed to have D49H mutation or A159D mutation which is a germ cell mutation.

Abstract: Generating rules to automatically extract linguistic patterns from documents is provided. A first plurality of linguistic pattern extraction rules corresponding to a user-selected text example from a document is generated according to a first abstraction rule of a plurality of abstraction rules. Each respective linguistic pattern extraction rule of the first plurality of linguistic pattern extraction rules having a first identified level of abstraction. The first plurality of linguistic pattern extraction rules ordered by the first identified level of abstraction is presented in a first list to a user via a user interface. A selection of one particular linguistic pattern extraction rule is received from the first list by the user via the user interface. That one particular linguistic pattern extraction rule selected by the user is applied to the document to automatically extract user-desired linguistic patterns similar to the user-selected text example from the document.

Abstract: An alighting point guide system includes an acquisition portion configured to acquire an alighting point guide request from an occupant of a vehicle, and a guide portion configured to provide a guide to an alighting point. When the number of occupants of the vehicle as a transmission source of the alighting point guide request is larger than a reference number set in advance, the guide portion selects, as the alighting point, a point where at least either one value of a statistic value about a door-open time detected previously and a statistic value about the number of times of door opening that is detected previously is equal to or more than a threshold with preference to a point where the at least either one value is less than the threshold.

Abstract: This disclosure makes vehicle passage at a tollbooth on a vehicle road smoother. A plurality of candidate lanes are selected based on whether or not a first vehicle scheduled to pass through a tollbooth is an ETC vehicle, and the type of each lane at the tollbooth. Moreover, a predicted value in correlation with a required time predicted to be required for passing through the tollbooth is calculated for each candidate lane. Further, a recommended lane that is recommended for the first vehicle to travel is determined from the plurality of candidate lanes based on the predicted value for each candidate lane.

Abstract: Obstacle determination systems and programs detect back-and-forth steering that is behavior of a vehicle for avoiding an obstacle. The systems and programs determine that the obstacle is present between a point where the back-and-forth steering has started and a point where the back-and-forth steering has ended when a steering start road and a steering end road are identical roads. The steering start road is a road where the vehicle is present at a start of the back-and-forth steering. The steering end road is a road where the vehicle is present at an end of the back-and-forth steering.
