Abstract: An information processing device includes a processor configured to provide an incentive to a first user who sells or returns a first vehicle in which a part of a first coating film including an easily peelable layer is not peeled off.

Abstract: A vehicle control system includes: a vehicle including an operation device; a first communication device; and a second communication device. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in a first area containing a position of the vehicle, the vehicle operates in an operation waiting state in which the operation device is allowed to receive an operation. In a case in which the second communication device is positioned in a second area contained in the first area and smaller than the first area, the vehicle operates in the operation waiting state. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in the first area and the second communication device is positioned in the second area, the second communication device generates a notification indicating that the vehicle is in the operation waiting state.

Abstract: A force sensor includes a strain body including a base portion, a displacement portion configured to make a displacement relative to the base portion under external force, and an elastic connection portion configured to elastically connect the base portion and the displacement portion, a board including a detection unit configured to detect the displacement of the displacement portion relative to the base portion in a first direction, and an interposed member interposed between the strain body and the board, the interposed member including an extending portion extending in a second direction intersecting a surface of the board and the first direction.

Abstract: A printing apparatus that can keep a target object from coming into contact with a printing unit, and a controlling method for the printing apparatus are provided. To this end, the printing apparatus includes a first adjustment unit that can adjust a first distance in a first direction between a first target object placed on a first placement unit and a printing unit, a second adjustment unit that can adjust a second distance in the first direction between a second target object placed on a second placement unit and the printing unit, and a control unit that controls at least one of the first adjustment unit and the second adjustment unit such that the first distance is smaller than the second distance in a case of printing on the first target object.

Abstract: A force sensor includes a support member, a force receiving member to be displaced with respect to the support member by an action of an external force, and a strain generating member having a scale holding portion and an elastic connection portion connecting the support member and the force receiving member. The force sensor further includes scales each serving as a detection target object and disposed on the elastic connection portion and the scale holding portion, and displacement detection elements mounted on a sensor substrate of the support member to face the scales in a one-to-one correspondence to detect movements of the scales. The force receiving member includes metal, and the strain generating member includes resin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a force sensor 100 that detects a force acting from the outside, and provides the force sensor 100 whose reduction in size and cost can be achieved. The force sensor 100 includes a support member 20, a force receiving member 4 that is displaced with respect to the support member 20 by the action of an external force, an elastic connection member 5 connecting the support member 20 and the force receiving member 4, scales 8a to 8d, which are detection target object bodies, disposed at the elastic connection member 5, displacement detection elements 9a to 9d that are mounted on the sensor substrate 7 composing the support member 20 so as to face the scales 8a to 8d in a one-to-one manner, and that detect movements of the scales 8a to 8d.

Abstract: An airbag apparatus for pedestrian protection includes an airbag that emerges from an opening of a housing located below a front end of a hood panel and deploys upward and toward left and right. The airbag includes a protection portion that deploys along a foreface of a vehicle. The protection portion includes end regions for covering front faces of head lamps and the end regions are configured in a upward-bending manner from a central region. Contraction of the airbag at inflation is taken into account in order to configure a bending angle between each of the end regions and the central region as the airbag is flattened.

Abstract: When the server receives conditions of a transaction offer from one of the client computers, it determines credibility of the client who placed the transaction offer based on the credit limit of the client. If the client is found credible, the transaction offer is entered provided that there is no identical transaction with more advantageous conditions. Thereafter, the transaction offer is placed on the electronic bulletin board as an offer made by the bank (server administrator) and not by the client.

Abstract: In a hoisting winch, a winding drum is arranged in an outer peripheral portion of a motor portion, a braking unit and an encoder are arranged on one end side of a rotor axis of the motor portion, an internal gear is fitted to an inner diameter area of the winding drum, a reduction mechanism in which planet gears are arranged between a sun gear and the internal gear is provided, the reduction mechanism, the braking unit, and the encoder are arranged in a coaxial fashion, and a wire rope fitting groove is provided on the winding drum on the braking unit side.

Abstract: A gas-insulated transformer comprises a transformer body and a radiator both filled with SF.sub.6 gas. The radiator comprises a gas introducing header, a gas discharging header, a plurality of radiation panels, and couplers for coupling the gas introducing header, gas discharging header and radiation panels. The coupler has a passageway having a cross section area gradually increasing from an end portion of the radiation panel towards the header.
