Abstract: A control apparatus includes: a determining unit that determines whether or not a vehicle provided with a driving power source is at a position where the vehicle can perform power transfer with a power network; and a notification control unit that makes a user of the vehicle notified, if the driven vehicle is at the position where the vehicle can perform power transfer with the power network. If the vehicle is positioned near a power transfer facility for performing power transfer between the vehicle and the power network, the determining unit determines that the vehicle is at the position where the vehicle can perform power transfer with the power network.

Abstract: A wire rod having a tensile strength of 950 to 1600 MPa for manufacturing a steel wire for a pearlite structure bolt according to the present invention includes a predetermined chemical composition and is manufactured by hot rolling and then direct isothermal transformation treating, in which when an amount of C in terms of mass % is indicated as <C>, a structure at an area from a surface of the wire rod to a depth of 4.5 mm includes 140×<C> area % or more of a pearlite structure, the average block size of a pearlite block at the area from the surface of the wire rod to the depth of 4.5 mm is 20 ?m or less, in which the average block size is measured in a transverse section of the wire rod, and the average lamellar spacing of the pearlite structure at the area from the surface of the wire rod to the depth of 4.5 mm is more than 120 nm to 200 nm.

Abstract: To provide a method for producing a quasi-crystalline particle dispersed alloy clad material which can be formed into a thick plate or a member for a structure having a specific shape, in particular, a complicated shape while maintaining quasi-crystalline particles, and can be enhanced in strength when used as a member for a structure, in particular, in strength in a high temperature environment. According to the method for producing a quasi-crystalline particle dispersed alloy clad material 1 of the present invention, a quasi-crystalline particle dispersed alloy clad material 1 is produced by forming a quasi-crystalline particle dispersed alloy containing quasi-crystalline particles dispersed in a matrix, onto a base material 2 by a clad layer forming apparatus 100 at a temperature lower than or equal to a decomposition temperature of the quasi-crystalline particles.
