Abstract: A ridable moving object on which a user gets is provided. The ridable moving object includes a processor configured to execute a program to determine that the user has been away from the ridable moving object, detect a usage intention of another person different from the user for the ridable moving object, and generate an action command for causing the ridable moving object to perform a prescribed operation on a basis of setting information set for at least one of the user and the ridable moving object when it is determined that the user has been away from the ridable moving object and the usage intention of the another person for the ridable moving object has been detected.

Abstract: An inkjet recording method is provided that includes the following steps: applying a pretreatment liquid to a fabric; applying a first white ink by an inkjet method and a wet on wet method onto an application region of the pretreatment liquid obtained in the applying of the pretreatment liquid, to form an image; applying a second white ink by an inkjet method and a wet on wet method onto the image formed in the applying of the first white ink; and applying a color ink by an inkjet method and a wet on wet method onto an image obtained in the applying of the second white ink.

Abstract: A PTC thermistor device has a PTC thermistor member and electrodes. The electrodes, are formed on respective surfaces of the PTC thermistor member. The PTC thermistor member contains a matrix phase, and conductive particles dispersed throughout the matrix phase. The matrix phase contains an electrically insulating first inorganic material and an electrically insulating second inorganic material. The first inorganic material undergoes phase transition in terms of crystal structure type and change in volume, at the phase transition temperature thereof. The second inorganic material is fibrous.

Abstract: A method of producing a ceramic matrix composite is provided, which production method reduces metal residual percentage within matrix with little energy consumption, without requiring special external heating means and special equipment while it is industrially simple and at a low price. It is a method of producing a ceramic matrix composite having the steps of filling mixed powder obtained by mixing metal powder and boron nitride powder into a predetermined container to form a green compact having a porous structure, and infiltrating the above described green compact with molten Al to form a composite material containing metal boride and having aluminum nitride as a matrix. The green compact is formed by compressing the mixed powder whose mixing ratio of metal powder to boron nitride powder is 1:1.8 to 1:2.2 (molar ratio) so that porosity of the green compact is 34 to 42%.
