Abstract: A parking brake control apparatus acquires a first physical amount indicating a change in a current applied to an electric motor (for example, a gradient of a change in a current) at the time of an application operation. The parking brake control apparatus sets a second physical amount indicating completion of the application operation so as to make it smaller when the first physical amount (for example, the gradient of the change in the current) exceeds a predetermined threshold value, compared to when the first physical amount is equal to or smaller than the threshold value. The parking brake control apparatus determines the completion of the application operation when a physical amount indicating the application operation (for example, a current value) reaches the second physical amount.

Abstract: A hydrogen supply system is configured to supply hydrogen to a fuel-cell vehicle by using a curdle for hydrogen transport, and includes: a filling unit provided at a hydrogen filling facility and configured to fill the curdle with hydrogen; a management unit configured to calculate a transport timing at which the hydrogen-filled curdle is transported to a business facility that operates the fuel-cell vehicle; a transport unit configured to transport the hydrogen-filled curdle to the business facility in accordance with the transport timing; and a disposition unit configured to dispose the hydrogen-filled curdle transported to the business facility at a place to which the fuel-cell vehicle is capable of accessing to have a refill of the hydrogen in the business facility.

Abstract: The present invention provides a gastric and/or duodenal adhesive pharmaceutical composition obtained by coating a composition, which comprises a medicament acting at the stomach and/or duodenum and one or more of ingredients selected from water insoluble polymers, polyglycerin fatty acid esters, lipids and waxes, with a polymer having adhesive capacity onto the surface of the mucosa of a digestive tract under acid conditions and separates from the mucosa of the digestive tract in neutral or alkaline conditions. This composition adheres only to the mucosa of the stomach and/or duodenum and releases the medicament over long hours so that sufficient effects are available by a small amount of the medicament.
