Abstract: A method for producing a porous hollow fiber membrane for humidification, the method comprising dry-wet spinning a spinning dope comprising a water-soluble organic solvent solution composed of polyphenylsulfone resin and hydrophilic polyvinylpyrrolidone using water as a core liquid; then performing a crosslinking treatment at 120 to 220° C. for 1 to 20 hours; and then dipping the resultant in an acidic solution with a concentration of 5 to 500 ppm. The obtained porous hollow fiber membrane has improved hydrophilicity without impairing the wettability of the porous hollow fiber membrane. Since, humidification performance of the porous hollow fiber membrane alone can be improved, it is effective as a humidifying membrane for fuel cells.

Abstract: A radiographing control apparatus includes a hardware processor. A radiographic imaging apparatus is exposed to a radiation from an irradiating apparatus through the subject. The hardware processor retrieves pre-exposure image data which the radiographic imaging apparatus generates by performing a pre-exposure to the subject at a pre-exposure dose of less than a dose of a subsequent main exposure, and calculates a total dose required to obtain diagnostic image data to be used for diagnosis. The hardware processor outputs a main exposure dose based on the calculated total dose to the irradiating apparatus and the radiographic imaging apparatus. The hardware processor retrieves main exposure image data which the radiographic imaging apparatus generates by performing the main exposure to the subject at the main exposure dose, and combines the main exposure image data with the pre-exposure image data to generate the diagnostic image data.

Abstract: A transfer case with an actuator for operating a two-speed transmission (i.e., range mechanism) and a clutch (i.e., mode mechanism). The actuator employs a motor-driven cam structure that coordinates the movement of a first fork, which is associated with the range mechanism, and a second fork that is associated with the mode mechanism. A resilient coupling is employed to provide compliance between the motor and the cam structure in the event that tooth-on-tooth contact inhibits the range mechanism from changing from a high-range mode and a low range mode or tooth-on-tooth contact inhibits the mode mechanism from changing between a two-wheel drive mode and a four-wheel drive mode. A sensor target and sensor are employed to identify the rotational positioning of the cam structure placement, which is indicative of the modes in which the transmission and the clutch are operating.

Abstract: A parking support apparatus determines whether or not a leaving condition becomes satisfied while the controller is executing the automatic parking control and the current shift range is at range other than a parking range, the leaving condition being a condition that is satisfied when the driver performs a leaving action. The parking support apparatus determines whether or not the vehicle has already reached the target parking area. The parking support apparatus generates a first alert having a first alerting capability, if the vehicle has already reached the target parking area when the leaving condition has been satisfied, and generates a second alert having a second alerting capability lower than the first alerting capability or no alerts, if the vehicle has not reached the target parking area yet when the leaving condition has been satisfied.
