Abstract: A travel controller of a vehicle that can travel on a road under autonomous driving control detecting two-wheelers, including bicycles, located in surroundings of the vehicle from surrounding data representing the surroundings of the vehicle generated by a surrounding sensor mounted on the vehicle, determining whether a target road on which the vehicle was traveling when the surrounding data in which a two-wheeler was detected was generated is a shared road on which travel by bicycles is permitted, when it is determined that the target road is a shared road, notifying a driver of the vehicle of a transition demand demanding transition in control of the vehicle from autonomous driving control to manual driving control requiring driving operations by the driver of the vehicle, and when it is determined that the target road is not a shared road, not notifying the driver of the transition demand.

Abstract: A vehicle controller includes a processor configured to sense trouble with a first sensor among sensors that are capable of detecting objects around a host vehicle and whose sensing areas at least partially overlap, detect another vehicle traveling in an area around the host vehicle, based on sensor signals from the respective sensors, and decelerate the host vehicle at first deceleration in the case where trouble with the first sensor is sensed and where the other vehicle is detected on the basis of a sensor signal from a second sensor having lower priority than the first sensor in sensing the other vehicle cutting in front of the host vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle controller includes a processor configured to detect a vehicle ahead of a host vehicle from time-series sensor signals obtained by a sensor provided on the host vehicle for sensing objects around the host vehicle, track the vehicle ahead detected from the time-series sensor signals, determine whether the vehicle ahead has performed an avoidance action, based on the result of tracking, detect, when the vehicle ahead has performed an avoidance action, a trajectory of an edge of the vehicle ahead opposite a direction of avoidance in the avoidance action, and control travel of the host vehicle so that an edge of the host vehicle opposite the direction of avoidance moves along the detected trajectory.

Abstract: When an object that may possibly collide with a vehicle is detected from a sensor signal of one of sensors mounted on the vehicle, a vehicle controller changes the level of autonomous driving control applied to the vehicle from a first level that does not require a driver to operate an accelerator and steering and does not require the driver to look around the vehicle to a second level that requires the driver to look around the vehicle but does not require the driver to operate an accelerator and steering. When an object that may possibly collide with the vehicle is detected from sensor signals of two or more of the sensors, the vehicle controller changes the level of autonomous driving control from the first level to a third level that requires the driver to operate at least an accelerator or steering.

Abstract: An apparatus for object detection detects a number of lanes included in a road on which a vehicle is traveling, detects one or more surrounding vehicles positioned in surroundings of the vehicle from a surrounding image showing the surroundings of the vehicle generated by a camera mounted in the vehicle, and determines, when more surrounding vehicles than the number of lanes detected in a predetermined range at the back of the vehicle are detected alongside in a width direction of the vehicle, that a possibility that any one of the surrounding vehicles being an emergency vehicle which is allowed to travel without obeying the traveling rule of the road is higher than when more surrounding vehicles than the number of lanes are not detected alongside in a width direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: A particle beam rotational irradiation apparatus includes: a frame that supports an irradiation nozzle and rotates; an irradiation-nozzle support member that is provided on an inner-circumference side of the frame and supports the irradiation nozzle; a movable floor that has a roller movable in a circumferential direction centering on a rotation axis of the frame; and a movable-floor rail that is provided in the circumferential direction on the inner-circumference side of the frame and supports the roller; wherein the irradiation-nozzle support member and the movable floor have respective coupling portions that are attachable/detachable to/from each other in the circumferential direction centering on the rotation axis of the frame.

Abstract: Plural pairs of connection plates are placed circumferentially around a plurality of circularly-arranged electromagnets, in which the plural pairs are each a pair of two connection plates placed with a gap in a radial direction and are arranged in a longitudinal direction of the connection plates. At a portion where one of the two connection plates forming a pair and one of the adjacent two connection plates forming another pair are connected, an end portion of the one of the two connection plates forming the pair and an end portion of the one of the two connection plates forming the another pair, are configured to be bent in the radial direction so that these end portions are apart from the other one of the two connection plates forming the pair, whereby the connection plates in the pair and the connection plates in the another pair are serially connected.

Abstract: The electromagnet support frame is for supporting an electromagnet having a trunnion pair which comprises two trunnions that are formed on mutually opposite side-faces of the electromagnet and whose central axes are matched to each other, and is characterized by including support fixtures whose number is the same as that of the trunnions and in which engaging parts are formed that are engaged with the trunnions so as to cover outer faces thereof, and a mounting frame that holds the support fixtures through vertical adjustment parts that move the fixtures in a vertical direction.
