Abstract: A synthetic-image formation unit forms a vehicle-inside view point image showing a periphery of a vehicle in such a way as to transparently pass through a portion or an entirety of the vehicle and taken from a vehicle-inside view point inside a vehicle room. The synthetic-image formation unit further forms an interior-added image including an image of an interior member viewed from the vehicle-inside view point using pre-stored data for drawing an image of the interior member. A display control unit temporarily displays the interior-added image and displays animation which gradually raises a transparency of the image of the interior member, before displaying the vehicle-inside view point image, when changing over a display screen of the display to the vehicle-inside view point image in response to a user's manipulation on the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for sorting a plurality of items and slot allocation in association with the plurality of items. The method may include collecting order data and slot data, wherein the slot data is information associated with a plurality of slots, each slot of the plurality of slots allows for placement of item bag over slot, and the plurality of items is to be sorted and inserted into bags associated with the plurality of slots; calculating combinations of order-slot allocation based on the order data and the slot data to estimate total time; and selecting a combination of the combinations of order-slot allocation with minimal total time and applying the selected combination.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an absorption enhancer capable of introducing high-molecular weight compounds into cells. The object can be solved by a composition of the present invention comprising a polymer compound having a group represented by the following general formula (1) or the following general formula (2) at a side chain, and a compound to be administered with a molecular weight of 1,000 to 1,200,000. wherein X1 is a residue of neutral amino acid or ?-aminoalkanoic acid in which an end amino group and an end carboxyl group are removed, X2 is a residue of cell-penetrating peptide in which an end amino group and an end carboxyl group are removed, X3 is a hydroxyl group, an amino group, an alkoxyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a benzyloxy group, a is an integer of 0 to 50, and * denotes a bonding site.

Abstract: This logistics network management device 1100: calculates, for each vehicle 1300, based on the expected arrival time at a delivery destination location at which the vehicle will arrive after an expected arrival at a delivery origin location and also based on information about vacant period of each shared unit 1210 at the delivery destination location, a recommended arrival time, which is the arrival time at the delivery destination location for which the period from arrival at the delivery destination location until the start of a prescribed operation is shortest; calculates a recommended departure time from the delivery origin location; and, for each vehicle 1300, when the vehicle 1300 can arrive at a shared unit 1210 that can be used at the delivery origin location at a time at or before the recommended departure time, displays information indicating that the vehicle 1300 should arrive at the stated time at the shared unit 1210 that can be used at the delivery origin location.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a technique for promoting membrane permeation of a drug, which is highly versatile and highly safe. The object can be solved by a polymer compound having a molecular weight of 1000 or more, wherein the polymer compound has, at an end of a side chain, one arginine or a basic peptide of chain length of 2 to 6 containing one or more arginine, and comprises a guanidino group of 0.5 to 20 mmol/g, originating from arginine.

Abstract: The present invention intends to provide a rare-earth complex polymer having a sufficient heat resistance to be blended in a plastic material and fabricated. A preferable embodiment of the rare-earth complex polymer comprises a plurality of both trivalent rare-earth ions and phosphine oxide multidentate ligands and a crosslinked structure formed by the phosphine oxide multidentate ligands being coordinated to a plurality of the rare-earth ions.

Abstract: The rare-earth complex of the present invention has high luminous efficiency, since it has a structure represented by the following general formula (I):

Abstract: An antitheft device of the type having a body unit to be attached to an article displayed in a shop for protecting the article against shoplifting. The device includes a transmitter for radiating an AC signal to a particular area, and the body unit which is adapted to receive a signal from the transmitter. The body unit comprises an alarm generator, and a receiving circuit operative to actuate the alarm generator in response to the signal from the transmitter. The transmitter radiates a feeble electromagnetic wave of less than 30 kHz corresponding to the sound range. The fact that the frequency of output from the transmitter is of a low frequency level corresponding to the sound range provides a greater allowance in the receiver for fluctuations in the frequency of signals received and thus good operation stability of the receiver. False alarming due to extraneous radiation is very unlikely to occur, and other components are free from the possibility of malfunctioning.
