Abstract: A solid electrolyte assembly is obtained by joining a solid electrolyte layer having oxide ion conductivity and containing lanthanum and a first electrode layer made of an oxide that is represented by ABO3?? and has a cubic perovskite structure to each other, where A represents an alkaline-earth metal element, B represents a transition metal element, and ? represents a fraction that occurs depending on the valences and amounts of A, B, and O. The oxide contains lanthanum at a part of the A site, and an atom ratio of lanthanum to all the elements occupying the A site is 0.01 or greater and 0.80 or less.

Abstract: A solid electrolyte assembly has an anode, a cathode, and a solid electrolyte layer located therebetween. An intermediate layer is provided between the anode or the cathode and the solid electrolyte layer. The intermediate layer is made of a cerium oxide containing lanthanum and a rare-earth element excluding lanthanum and cerium. The solid electrolyte layer contains an oxide of lanthanum. Preferably, the solid electrolyte layer contains a composite oxide of lanthanum and silicon. Also, preferably, the intermediate layer is made of a cerium oxide containing lanthanum and any one of samarium, gadolinium, yttrium, erbium, ytterbium, and dysprosium.

Abstract: A current context of a geographic application executing on a user device is determined. Commercial geographic content is selected for presentation at the user device based at least in part on the determined current context, and the commercial geographic content is provided to the user device via a communication network. A first indication is received, indicating that the commercial geographic content was presented at a first level of detail via a user interface of the user device. In response to the first indication, a first metric is updated. As second indication is received, indicating that the commercial geographic content was presented at a second level of detail via the user interface of the user device in response to user input, where the second level of detail is higher than the first level of detail. A second metric is updated in response to the second indication.

Abstract: An entry point card displayed within a mapping application viewport may display context and other data based on a calendar appointment and other data that the user might, predictably, want to search for upon opening the mapping application. Using appointment information from a calendar application, an entry point card might display a time the user must leave his current location in order to make the appointment on time. Or, using a history of the user's routine errands or trips, the entry point card may display predicted information. For example, the card may display an amount of time to get to work or other information.

Abstract: A silver halide photographic material comprising a support having on at least one side thereof an undercoat polymer layer, a dye layer comprising hydrophilic colloid and a dye capable of being decolorized during development, and at least one silver halide emulsion layer in that order from the side of the support, wherein hydrophilic colloid in the dye layer is present at a coating weight of not more than about 0.5 g/m.sup.2 and the dye layer is dried at a temperature in the range of from about 80.degree. to about 160.degree. C.

Abstract: A silver halide photographic material comprising a support provided with an undercoat layer and having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer and at least one dye-containing hydrophilic colloid layer between the emulsion layer and the undercoat layer, wherein the dye contained in the dye-containing hydrophilic colloid layer absorbs light in the light-sensitive region of the silver halide emulsion layer and is decolorized during the course of development, the dye-containing hydrophilic colloid layer has a swelling ratio of not higher than 180%; the coating weight of the hydrophilic colloid of the dye-containing hydrophilic colloid layer is not more than 0.5 g/m.sup.2 ; the undercoat layer comprises a hydrophobic polymer, and at least on hydrophilic colloid layer is provided between the dye-containing hydrophilic colloid layer and the undercoat layer.

Abstract: A light-sensitive material is disclosed, comprising a support having thereon at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, wherein at least one layer containing at least one of a mordant and a dye is provided on at least one side of the support, and at least one layer which is provided on the same side of the layer containing the mordant and dye contains a water-soluble ionic polymer as an agent for reducing color remaining. The light-sensitive material has improved sharpness, freedom from color remaining after processing, and excellent drying properties suitable for rapid processing.

Abstract: A silver halide photographic material which comprises a support having a subbing layer containing an aqueous polymer latex represented by the following formula (I), which has a cross linked structure: ##STR1## wherein A represents an ethylenic unsaturated monomer unit; R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms; L represents a divalent group having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms; R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4, which may be the same or different, each represents an alkyl group, an aralkyl group or a hydrogen atom; Q represents nitrogen or phosphorus; X-represents an anion other than iodine ion; and B represents a structural unit in which copolymerizable monomers having at least two ethylenic unsaturated groups have been copolymerized: x is selected to constituted from 0 to 90 mol%; y is selected to constitute from 10 to 99.9 mol%; z is selected to constitute from 0.1 to 50 mol%; and R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.
