Abstract: A control device that is mounted in a second vehicle which a first vehicle having a following travel function is detachably connected to or loaded on is provided. The control device includes a control unit configured to perform: detecting another vehicle that is within a predetermined range from the second vehicle in a state in which the second vehicle has the first vehicle connected thereto or loaded thereon and of which some or all of a scheduled travel route is the same as some or all of a scheduled travel route of the first vehicle after the first vehicle has been disconnected from the second vehicle; and transmitting following instruction information to the first vehicle and disconnecting the first vehicle from the second vehicle such that the first vehicle travels with the detected other vehicle as a preceding vehicle by the following travel function.

Abstract: A common control unit (141A) acquires a configuration input request to a communication device accommodating a user using a network. An individual control unit (142A) identifies a variable group necessary for a command to execute the configuration input based on request content of the configuration input received by the common control unit (141A) and a type of communication device and transmits the identified variable group to the common control unit (141A). A command execution unit (143A) acquires the variable group identified by the individual control unit (141A) from the common control unit (141A), generates a command based on the acquired variable group, and executes the generated command.

Abstract: An anticorrosive coating composition is provided which is excellent in adhesion to a substrate and in anticorrosiveness, and which provides a coating film whose surfaces hardly have bubbles remaining thereon even when the coating composition is applied by using a brush or a roller. The anticorrosive coating composition includes an epoxy resin (a), a curing agent (b) and a poly-?-olefin (c) that includes a structural unit derived from an ?-olefin having 6 or more carbon atoms.

Abstract: A novel cyclic carboxylic acid formed by the addition reaction of an unsaturated carboxylic acid with a conjugated diene compound and a metal salt thereof are disclosed. A compounding agent (A) for an antifouling paint comprising one or more substances selected from the novel cyclic carboxylic acid, a derivative of the cyclic carboxylic acid (except a metal salt), a metal salt of the cyclic carboxylic acid and a metal salt of a derivative of the cyclic carboxylic acid, and an antifouling paint composition comprising the compounding agent (A) and a copolymer (B) for a self-polishing type antifouling paint are also disclosed. The antifouling paint composition can form an antifouling coating film which is a small burden to the environment, is uniformly eroded at a given rate, is capable of maintaining excellent antifouling performance for a long period of time and is applicable to ships or the like used in the highly fouling sea area.
