  • Publication number: 20220326026
    Abstract: The present invention assists at work related to the setting of an evaluation index for a vehicle operation plan. A vehicle operation assistance device manages one or more pieces of evaluation information including information regarding evaluation of the vehicle operation plan, acquires setting target information that is information regarding evaluation, the information being intended to be set for the vehicle operation plan by a user, derives a similarity degree between the setting target information and each pieces of the evaluation information, extracts evaluation information on the basis of the similarity degree, receives a setting for information regarding evaluation related to the vehicle operation plan from the user while presenting similar evaluation information which is the extracted evaluation information to the user and generates evaluation information on the basis of a received content.

  • Patent number: 8926746
    Abstract: Flaky particles of the present invention have a particle size distribution in which a value of D90/D10 is at least 2.0 but not more than 3.0, a value of D10 is at least 4.7 ?m but not more than 25 ?m, and a maximum particle diameter is 90 ?m or less, where D10 is defined as a particle diameter at which a cumulative volume of particles reaches 10% when counted from the smaller side, and D90 is defined as a particle diameter at which a cumulative volume of particles reaches 90% when counted from the smaller side. A luster pigment of the present invention contains flaky particles and at least one selected from a metallic layer and a metallic oxide layer that are formed on at least a part of the surface of each of the flaky particles. The luster pigment has a particle size distribution in which a value of D90/D10 is at least 2.0 but not more than 3.0, a value of D10 is at least 4.

  • Patent number: 8440014
    Abstract: The bright pigment of the present invention includes flaky particles and a metal oxide layer coating at least a part of the surface of each flaky particle. The bright pigment or the flaky particles of the present invention have a particle size distribution in which the particle size at 99% of the cumulative volume from the smaller particle size is 48 ?m or less, and the maximum particle size is 62 ?m or less. The flaky particles are made of a material having a refractive index in the range of 1.4 to 1.8. The flaky particles have a thickness distribution in which the frequency of the particles having a thickness in the range of 0.8 ?m to 1.9 ?m is 90% or more by volume, or the frequency of the particles having a thickness in the range of 0.01 ?m to 0.35 ?m is 90% or more by volume.
