Abstract: A focal-plane shutter that has a shutter base plate that has an opening; a shutter blade that opens/closes the opening; a blade arm that pivotally supports the shutter blade; and a blade drive member that has a drive pin that is connected to the blade arm. The blade drive member rotates the blade arm so as to drive the shutter blade. The blade arm has a connection hole into which the drive pin is inserted; and a restriction member that is between an inner circumferential surface of the connection hole and an outer circumferential surface of the drive pin and that restricts the movement of the drive pin inside the connection hole.

Abstract: A meeting support system includes a movement means acquirer configured to acquire information related to a movement means of a first user, a movement means selector configured to select a movement means of a second user who meets with the first user on the basis of the information related to the movement means of the first user acquired by the movement means acquirer, and a provider configured to provide the movement means of the second user selected by the movement means selector to the second user.

Abstract: Provides a focal-plane shutter comprising: a base plate that has an opening portion for exposure; a blade group for opening and closing the opening portion; an arm that is linked to a blade group; and a driving mechanism portion, linked to the arm, for driving the blade group through the arm, wherein: the blade group and the arm are linked through a coupling plated with a metal crystallized structure with crystallization degree of no less than 99%. This focal-plane shutter can improve the wear durability of a coupling for linking a blade group and an arm. This can prevent the production of wear debris, and prevent the coupling from becoming brittle through wear, even given repeated operations.

Abstract: A navigation system includes a detector configured to detect a situation in a movable object, a determiner configured to determine a degree of activity of conversation in the movable object on the basis of a detection result by the detector, a movement plan setter configured to set a movement plan on the basis of setting information which is set by a user, and to change at least part of the set movement plan on the basis of a determination result by the determiner, and a navigator configured to navigate the movable object on the basis of the movement plan which is set or changed by the movement plan setter.

Abstract: A notification system includes: a first extraction unit configured to extract caution-required locations present within a predetermined distance range centered on a current position of a vehicle from a plurality of caution-required locations of which the positional information is previously acquired; a second extraction unit configured to extract caution-required locations present within a predetermined angle centered on a current traveling direction of the vehicle from the plurality of caution-required locations; a third extraction unit configured to extract, as a notification target point, a caution-required location where the current position of the vehicle is present within a predetermined angle range centered on the orientation of a link through which the vehicle is determined to pass by referring to map data holding information of a plurality of links in which positions and orientations are matched with each other, from caution-required locations extracted in common by both the first extraction unit and

Abstract: A driving evaluation system includes: a passage determination unit configured to, when traveling through a caution-required location included in caution-required location information that indicates a plurality of caution-required locations that are determined in advance to be points where caution is required when a vehicle passes through the point based on the traveling history of a plurality of vehicles that is generated in advance, determine whether or not a vehicle has passed through the caution-required location in a safe traveling manner, based on a traveling aspect of the vehicle in the caution-required location; and a driving evaluation unit configured to, immediately after the vehicle passes through the caution-required location, evaluate the traveling aspect of the vehicle in the caution-required location based on a determination result determined by the passage determination unit and notify a driver of the vehicle of an evaluation result.

Abstract: A focal plane shutter includes a bottom board having an opening portion, and a blade member that opens/closes the opening portion. The blade member is formed from a plurality of arms supported rotatably on the bottom board, at least one blade, and a plurality of connecting members that connects the plurality of arms rotatably to the blade. The blade member includes an adhesive member that is provided on at least one of the plurality of arms.

Abstract: A first blade includes two arms and four blades, and is arranged between a shutter base plate and an intermediate plate. A second blade includes two arms and four blades, and is arranged between the intermediate plate and an auxiliary base plate. During an exposure operation, the four blades of the first blade are brought into an overlap state from a development state and the four blades of the second blade are brought into the development state from the overlap state. Since a contour forming edge of the intermediate plate above the opening portion is formed in the shape of an arc, the four blades of the second blade are able to start an operation appropriately from the overlap state.

Abstract: A focal plane shutter for a camera which is suitable for miniaturization and arranged to prevent wear debris from entering into a blade chamber via a base plate hole. Wall portions (1j and 1k) are formed protruding towards the blade chamber side surface from edges of the elongated holes (1b and 1c) provided in a base plate (1). Rear blade-use arms (14 and 15) have step-like bent portions (14b and 15a) formed therein so that a tip end side of the arms is positioned further toward the base plate (1) than the rotation center side. During operation, the bent portions (14b and 15b) allow a small gap to be maintained between the wall portion (1k) and the rear blade-use arms (14 and 15). The freedom in determining the layout is not restricted so that miniaturization of the device is possible and entry of debris into the blade chamber is suppressed.
