Abstract: A diagnostic optical microscope according to the present embodiment includes at least one laser light source (11) configured to generate laser light for illuminating a sample (40) containing a light absorbing material, a lens configured to focus the laser light to be focused on the sample (40), scanning means for changing a focusing position of the laser light on the sample (40), and a light detector (31) configured to detect laser light transmitted through the sample (40) as signal light. A laser light intensity is changed to obtain a nonlinear region in which the laser light intensity and a signal light intensity have a nonlinear relation due to occurrence of saturation of absorption in the light absorbing material when the laser light intensity is maximized. An image is generated based on a nonlinear component of the signal light based on the saturation of absorption in the light absorbing material.

Abstract: A data generation system includes a division unit, an extraction unit, an output unit, an input unit, and a generation unit. The division unit divides each of the plurality of sentences into tokens. The extraction unit extracts a sentence including candidates for a token to be combined as a word from a plurality of sentences based on characteristics of tokens included in the plurality of sentences. The output unit outputs a sentence including the candidates for the token to be combined. The input unit receives, as an input, an instruction to combine the candidates for the token to be combined included in the sentence output by the output unit. The generation unit generates a language resource including a word obtained by combining the candidates for the token to be combined based on the input.

Abstract: An analysis system is configured to include an extraction unit, an output unit, an acquisition unit, and a dictionary generation unit. The extraction unit extracts, as a token pair, two tokens that consecutively occur in a sentence separated using the basic dictionary. Regarding a token in which two tokens included in a token pair are connected, the output unit displays a selection screen for selecting any of registering with a dictionary, registering with an on-hold list for holding registration with the dictionary, and not registering with the dictionary. The acquisition unit acquires a selection result for the selection screen. The dictionary generation unit generates an on-hold list with which the token pair whose selection result indicates on-hold is registered as a token, and a dictionary with which the token pair whose selection result indicates registering is registered as a connected token.

Abstract: A control map information evaluation method is provided that includes acquiring control map information in which additional information pieces of plural kinds are given to a target area on a map. The additional information pieces are map information used for travel control of a vehicle. The method further includes determining whether consistency is present or absent between the additional information pieces of two or more of the plural kinds given to the same target area. The method further includes determining reliability of at least one of the additional information pieces, depending on presence and absence of the consistency determined.

Abstract: An automated driving system includes a determiner, a driving switch controller, and a notification controller. The determiner determines each of a plurality of determination items that is a condition for switching from an automated driving to a manual driving. The driving switch controller switches from the automated driving to the manual driving when all of the plurality of determination items are determined as positive. The notification controller notifies a driver of notification information for urging a reaction of the driver when at least one of the plurality of determination items is determined as negative. The determiner determines the at least one or all of the plurality of determination items before a vehicle passes through a switch determination point. The determiner determines the at least one or all of the plurality of determination items when or after the vehicle passes through the switch determination point.

Abstract: A controller includes a valve control unit and a target calculation unit. The valve control unit is configured to control a fuel injection valve such that divergence decreases between an ignition delay of fuel injected into a cylinder through main injection and an ignition delay target value. The target calculation unit is configured to calculate the ignition delay target value such that the ignition delay target value decreases as estimated ignitability of the fuel in the cylinder increases during an engine operation in a region where diffusion combustion and premix combustion are both performed, the ignitability of the fuel in the cylinder being estimated based on a parameter that varies the ignitability.

Abstract: A combustion chamber structure for an internal combustion engine includes, in a piston top part, a concave portion formed eccentrically with respect to a cylinder center axis, and a tapered portion that connects an upper end face of the piston top part and a side face of the concave portion. The tapered portion is formed so that a tapered portion volume (volume of a space formed between the tapered portion and an upper wall surface of the combustion chamber) in a first portion of the piston top part is greater than a tapered portion volume in a second portion that is nearer than the first portion to an eccentric direction of the concave portion from the cylinder center axis.
