Abstract: An action support device stores correspondence information in which an action and a feeling of a subject and an expression of a face are associated with respect to each of a series of tasks set in order, and performs a specification process in which a feeling of the subject is specified on the basis of the information related to an expression of the subject acquired by an acquisition device, an evaluation process in which an action related to the task of the subject is evaluated on the basis of the information related to a behavior of the subject, a selection process in which an expression of the face image is selected with reference to the correspondence information on the basis of the feeling of the subject and an evaluation result of the evaluation process, in which the face image of the expression selected by the selection process is output.

Abstract: A biological information detection apparatus includes: a camera; a frame image analysis unit that detects a region including pixels having a predetermined skin color, as a skin color region, from a frame image taken using the camera, and detects a signal corresponding to a light wavelength from an image signal of each pixel included in the skin color region, as skin color wavelength data; a skin color wavelength difference detection unit that calculates an average value of differences of the skin color wavelength data from predetermined reference wavelength data for the pixels included in the skin color region, and acquires the average value as average wavelength difference data; a pulse wave signal detection unit that detects a signal obtained by smoothing the average wavelength difference data detected in time series, as a pulse wave signal.

Abstract: A system for evaluating actions that a plurality of target objects performs to achieve communication, the system comprising at least one computer, the at least one computer is configured to: obtain a plurality of signals used for calculating a plurality of state values for evaluating an internal state of a target object in a case where the target object performed the action, from the plurality of target objects; calculate a state feature amount made up of the plurality of state values using the plurality of signals; and generate display information on the basis of the state feature amount, the display information for displaying a positional relationship of the internal state of each of the plurality of target objects in an evaluation space for visually illustrating a similarity of the internal state of the each of the plurality of target objects.

Abstract: In order to provide an interactive interface that arouses a user's sympathy and realizes a continuous interaction having much information, an interactive system of providing the interactive interface of performing an interaction with a user includes a computer and a measurement device of measuring a signal related to a user's speech. The computer calculates a first feature amount indicating feature of a user action in the speech of the user, based on the signal measured by the measurement device, calculates a second feature amount that is a control value of a response action to the user performed by the interactive interface, based on the first feature amount, calculates a control time of adjusting a timing of controlling the response action depending on the type of the response action, and controls the interactive interface, based on the second feature amount and the control time.

Abstract: There is provided a system in which empowerment is performed by outputting conversation information to the user, the system including: a computer including a processor, a memory, and an interface; and a measuring device that measures signals of a plurality of types, wherein the processor calculates values of conversation parameters of a plurality of attributes for evaluating a state of a user who performs the empowerment on the basis of a plurality of signals measured by the measuring device, the processor selects a selection parameter which is a conversation parameter of a change target on the basis of the values of the conversation parameters of the plurality of attributes, the processor decides conversation information for changing a value of the selection parameter, and the processor outputs the decided conversation information to the user.

Abstract: A sipe inner wall surface of a sipe is provided with a wavy first concave and convex row, a wavy second concave and convex row arranged in a sipe bottom side from the first concave and convex row so as to be spaced, and structured such that a wavelength is made shorter than the first concave and convex row so as to increase the number of waves, and a third concave and convex row extending toward the sipe bottom side in a branched manner while being inclined to a longitudinal direction side of the sipe with respect to a normal direction of a tread surface, and interposed between the first concave and convex row and the second concave and convex row so as to be connected to both elements.

Abstract: An assembling position-adjusting mechanism of a magnetic disk apparatus able to adjust the azimuth, radial alignment, and index of a magnetic head by adjusting a position thereof during the assembling process of a spindle motor. A positioning head movable in a direction perpendicular to a top surface of a table is provided. A plurality of positioning pins are provided on the bottom of the positioning head. Moving mechanisms are provided in the positioning head so that the bottom surface of the positioning head is movable and rotatable parallel to the top surface of the table. Each positioning pin of the positioning head is inserted into a respective positioning hole of a motor assembly so as to move the motor assembly with a movement of the positioning head so that the spindle motor of the motor assembly is at an appropriate position relative to the magnetic head of the main body of the magnetic disk apparatus.

Abstract: A cathode ray tube has an insulating layer formed at at least a part of the outer surface of a neck tube.The insulating layer is a layer obtained by coating and baking a sol prepared by dispersing one or two or more metal alkoxides and metal salts in a hydrophilic oligomer state by adding water and an acid to a solution having one or two or more metal alkoxides and metal salts dissolved in an organic solvent such as an alcohol.
