Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide a method for processing surrounding information which enables improvement of accuracy for estimation of a current position of a moving body. The objective is achieved by detecting light transparent region information of the surrounding information acquired by a sensor in a detection step, wherein the light transparent region information corresponds to a light transparent region. Further, in a generation step, information after removal is generated by removing the light transparent region information from the surrounding information. In this manner, a current position for a travelling vehicle can be estimated with the information after removal. The estimation accuracy can be improved by omitting the information about the light transparent region for which the acquired information may vary.

A width of the supply path in a direction perpendicular to a direction of a rotation axis of the developer bearer is in a range of 7% or more and less than 10% of a circumference of an outer diameter of the developing bearer.

Abstract: An equalizer of a noise-reduction apparatus amplifies a predetermined amplification frequency band of a sending sound signal so as to generate an adjustment sending sound signal. A noise estimator estimates a noise included in the adjustment sending sound signal generated by the equalizer so as to generate an estimated noise signal. A noise level adjuster adjusts a level of the estimated noise signal generated by the noise estimator, in a predetermined adjustment frequency band, so as to generate an adjusted noise signal. A noise reducer reduces the noise signal included in the adjustment sending sound signal generated by the equalizer, utilizing the adjusted noise signal generated by the noise level adjuster.
