Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes a host vehicle position recognizer, a moving object recognizer, a map database, an influence recognizer configured to recognize an influence of a moving object around the host vehicle traveling along a target path of the host vehicle, and a vehicle controller configured to decelerate the host vehicle to avoid collision with the moving object based on the influence. Map information includes area information regarding a plurality of areas on the map for specifying the moving object that is a target of recognizing the influence. When the host vehicle position satisfies predetermined host vehicle position conditions set in advance for each area, the influence recognizer recognizes the influence of the moving object present in the area where the host vehicle position satisfies the host vehicle position conditions, based on the host vehicle position, the area information, and the recognition result from the moving object recognizer.

Abstract: A dialyzer includes a dialysis unit including a blood channel and a dialysate channel; a dialysate supply channel configured to supply a dialysate to the dialysate channel; a dialysate discharge channel configured to discharge the dialysate from the dialysate channel; a blood supply channel configured to supply blood to the blood channel, and a blood discharge channel configured to discharge the blood from the blood channel. The dialysate contains nitric oxide and/or nitrite ions, and the concentration of the nitric oxide is 0.5 to 10 ?M or the concentration of the nitrite ions is 40 to 120 ?M.

Abstract: A vehicle alarm generation device generates an alarm sound inside a cabin of a vehicle. The vehicle alarm generation device includes an alarm acquiring unit that acquires an alarm level of an alarm to be generated, and an alarm generating unit that generates an alarm sound corresponding to the alarm level acquired by the alarm acquiring unit. The alarm generating unit configures the alarm sound with a chord including a plurality of sounds having a range of 200 Hz or higher and causes the chord and a rhythm of the alarm sound to vary in accordance with the alarm level.

Abstract: A speaker operation confirmation device confirms operation of a right speaker attached on a right side of a vehicle and a left speaker attached on a left side of the vehicle. The speaker operation confirmation device includes a confirmation sound acquiring unit that acquires a confirmation sound to be generated by the right speaker and the left speaker, and a confirmation sound generating unit that causes the right speaker and the left speaker to generate the confirmation sound acquired by the confirmation sound acquiring unit. The confirmation sound is a confirmation sound in which a sound volume of either of the right speaker or the left speaker is reduced and a sound volume of the other one of the right speaker and the left speaker is increased with elapse of time.
