Abstract: An information processing system includes one or more vehicles, and a server communicable with the one or more vehicles. The vehicle acquires an image obtained by imaging a road on which a host vehicle is located. The vehicle or the server determines a degree of difficulty in traveling on the road due to snow cover from the image. The server stores the degree of difficulty in traveling for each of one or more roads, and provides information to a client by using the stored degree of difficulty in traveling for each of one or more roads.

Abstract: A flow regulating member of a hot dip coating tank which can suppress stir-up of bottom dross, characterized by being provided with horizontal plates which are respectively arranged horizontally from below two side end parts of a sink roll, which is arranged inside of a coating tank in a rotatable manner, toward outside directions of the sink roll and louvers which are arranged above from the end parts of the respective horizontal plates at positions separated from the two ends of the sink roll and which have flow direction changing members which are slanted so that their heights become gradually higher toward the wall surface sides of the coating tank.

Abstract: Disclosed therein is a heat exchanger for a refrigeration cycle in which a suction pipe and a capillary tube are made of aluminum which is inexpensive, instead of the copper-made suction pipe and the copper-made capillary tube of the existing heat exchanger for the refrigeration cycle, and which is easy to apply the meandering. The capillary tube is made of aluminum alloy selected from JIS 3000 series alloy and the suction pipe is made of aluminum selected from JIS 1000 series aluminum, and the outer surface of the capillary tube and the outer surface of the suction pipe are melted and bonded together, or particularly, are melted and bonded together by fiber laser beam radiation. The heat exchanger is equipped in a refrigerator.

Abstract: A heat exchanger for a refrigeration cycle that in terms of functionality and quality is within the allowable range of and comparable to a conventional heat exchanger for a refrigeration cycle, has substantially the same structure as a conventional heat exchanger for a refrigeration cycle, and enables reduced costs, as well as method for manufacturing the heat exchanger are provided. A heat exchanger for a refrigeration cycle is configured so that a refrigerant discharged from a compressor is circulated to a condenser, a capillary tube, an evaporator, a suction pipe, and the compressor, and so that the external surfaces of the capillary tube and the suction pipe are thermally in contact with each other. The material of the capillary tube and the suction pipe is aluminum. The locations at which the external surfaces of the capillary tube and the suction pipe are joined where fillets of a brazing material being an Al—Si alloy and a Zn—Al alloy are formed.
