Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus that enables a more effective reduction in a load imposed on a user, with the use of force applied to the user in relation to a tangible object. The information processing apparatus includes a control unit configured to estimate, on the basis of a state of a user, a first amount that is predicted by the user with regard to force applied to the user in relation to a tangible object, and control presentation of information to the user on the basis of the first amount and a second amount that is preliminarily registered with regard to the force.

Abstract: An upper spreader guide device includes a pair of left and right boom-side guide parts each supported by a boom so as to be arranged in a raised attitude of rising diagonally upward from the boom in a state where the boom is arranged in a lowered attitude, and a pair of left and right movable guide parts supported by the pair of boom-side guide parts, respectively, such that a relative position with respect to the pair of boom-side guide parts is changeable between a protruding position and a retraction position.

Abstract: There is provided an exhaust gas purifying catalyst including a substrate and catalyst portions. The substrate includes an inflow-side cells, outflow-side cells, and porous partition walls, each partition wall separating the inflow-side cell from the outflow-side cell. The catalyst portion includes: (group A) first catalyst portions, each first catalyst portion being provided on a surface of the partition wall that faces the inflow-side cell on an upstream side in an exhaust gas flow direction; and (group B) second catalyst portions being provided on a surface of the partition wall that faces the outflow-side cell on a downstream side in the exhaust gas flow direction. Each catalyst portion of one of group A and group B includes at least one oxidizing catalyst layer and at least one reducing catalyst layer, and each catalyst portion of the other of group A and group B includes at least one oxidizing catalyst layer and/or at least one reducing catalyst layer.

Abstract: A crane includes a jib posture retention device that retains a jib in a frontward tilt posture to a boom. The jib posture retention device includes a jib mast that holds a rope connection part at a tensioning position separate from a jib proximal end and a boom distal end backward thereof to render a jib-side support rope and a boom-side support rope linearly tensioned with the jib in the frontward tilt posture. The jib mast is shiftable to a tension form of holding the rope connection part at a tensioning position in an uprise posture and a looseness allowing form of locating the rope connection part at a looseness allowing position closer to the boom distal end than the tensioning position and closer to the jib proximal end than the tensioning position to allow the jib-side support rope and the boom-side support rope to be loosened.

Abstract: A conversion apparatus improves utilization of definition information for system migration by including: a first conversion unit converting definition information about first rules for generating first data showing information about an operation of a migration source first system in a form depending on an implementation technique of the first system based on materials of the first system, according to a combination of first environment information showing an environment that the first system depends on and second environment information showing an environment that a migration destination second system depends on; a second conversion unit converting definition information about second rules for generating second data showing the information about the operation in a form not depending on a particular implementation technique based on the first data, according to the combination of the first environment information and the second environment information; and a third conversion unit converting definition informat

Abstract: A first width direction bending portion bendably connects a portion of a guy link on a distal end side with respect to a first link portion to the first link portion in a width direction. When the guy link is in a stored state, the portion of the guy link located on the distal end side with respect to the first width direction bending portion is disposed outside the first link portion in the width direction. When the guy link is in a stored state, at least a portion of the guy link is disposed on the outer side in the width direction than a front strut and on a back surface or a side surface of a lower jib.

Abstract: Provided is a construction machine capable of suppressing deformation of a boom in a simple configuration and at low costs. The construction machine includes a pair of backstops having respective hydraulic cylinders; a supply device which supplies the hydraulic cylinders with hydraulic fluid; a deformation sensing device which senses deformation of the boom; and a control device which controls the supply device so as to make a thrust of the hydraulic cylinder of one backstop having a larger pressing force, out of the pair of backstops, be larger than a thrust of the hydraulic cylinder of the other backstop, the pressing force being applied due to the deformation of the boom.
