Abstract: In a monitoring area such as a resort house area that a user cannot directly monitor, a vehicle owned by the user performs patrol driving to capture an image of a surrounding state and transmits the image to a user terminal and a monitoring server as imaging data. The monitoring server analyzes the imaging data transmitted from the vehicle to determine whether an abnormality occurs in the monitoring area or not, and notifies the user terminal and the vehicle of a determination result. When the vehicle receives an abnormality notice from the monitoring server, the vehicle notifies outside that the abnormality occurs by light or sound.

Abstract: A vehicle notification system performs audio notification regarding a driving status of a vehicle that is capable of self-driving, for an occupant of the vehicle at a predetermined timing during self-driving. The vehicle notification system includes a position identification section that is configured to identify a current position of the vehicle. Based on a destination and the current position, notification that the driving status is conforming to a plan is performed at regular intervals, and notification that the driving status is not conforming to the plan is performed if the driving status is no longer conforming to the plan.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a battery and a CO2 recovery device using electric power of the battery to recover CO2 contained in inflowing gas. A control device mounted in the vehicle controls the CO2 recovery device. The control device permits operation of the CO2 recovery device in the case where a high efficiency recovery condition, at which it is predicted that the efficiency of recovery of CO2, showing a ratio of the amount of recovery of CO2 in the CO2 recovery device with respect to the electric power consumed by the battery, will become equal to or greater than a preset predetermined efficiency, is satisfied, and prohibits operation of the CO2 recovery device in the case where the high efficiency recovery condition is not satisfied.

Abstract: A novel vaccine that can induce sufficiently high cell-mediated immunity is disclosed. The vaccine of the present invention contains, as an effective component, a polypeptide comprising a tandem repeat structure in which an MHC class I epitope region derived from an antigen protein and a spacer sequence are linked to each other alternately and repeatedly at least three times, or a recombinant vector which comprises a polynucleotide encoding said polypeptide and is capable of expressing said polypeptide in vivo. The spacer sequence is, for example, a sequence generated as an amino acid sequence inevitably encoded by a single base sequence which is designed such that the MHC class I epitope region derived from the antigen protein, an MHC class II epitope region derived from the antigen protein, and at least one higher-order-structure-stabilizing region are encoded by different reading frames in said single base sequence.

Abstract: A wiring circuit board sequentially includes a conductive layer, an insulating layer, and a shield layer toward one side in a thickness direction. The insulating layer covers the conductive layer and has an insulating opening portion exposing a part of a one-side surface in the thickness direction of the conductive layer, and the shield layer has a recessed portion disposed at the inside of the insulating opening portion and recessed toward the other side in the thickness direction so as to be in contact with the conductive layer. The shield layer sequentially includes an adhesive layer and a main body layer toward one side in the thickness direction. A ratio (Tb/Ta) of a thickness Tb of the main body layer to a thickness Ta of the adhesive layer is 4 or more.
