  • Publication number: 20230117152
    Abstract: A control requirement determiner includes: a storage that stores at least one piece of location information and at least one piece of behavior information as past data in which the location information and the behavior information are associated with each other, the location information indicating a geographic location, the behavior information being related to a behavior exhibited by a vehicle body of a vehicle at the location indicated by the location information when the vehicle traveled in the past; and processing circuitry that determines, based on the behavior information associated with the location information of the past data, a control requirement to be imposed on a control target of a rough terrain vehicle at the location indicated by the location information of the past data during travel of the rough terrain vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11130541
    Abstract: A saddle type vehicle includes two front wheels, a left front wheel supporting member and a right front wheel supporting member which are turned around a left front wheel turning axis and a right front wheel turning axis respectively, an upper lean arm and a lower lean arm which are rotated around an axis perpendicular to a vehicle width direction, and a steering rod. The upper arm is connected to the left and right members via first and second connecting parts which are provided on the left front wheel turning axis. The lower arm is connected to the left and right members via third and fourth connecting parts which are provided on the right front wheel turning axis. The steering rod is arranged forward of the steering spindle. In a front view of the vehicle body, the steering rod is arranged between the upper and lower arms.

  • Patent number: 10308727
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a simple measure which can suppress freshness deterioration of a myoglobin-containing food. The present invention relates to a myoglobin-containing food freshness deterioration suppressing material for suppressing freshness deterioration of a myoglobin-containing food, comprising: a substrate comprising a polymer; and an antioxidant with which at least a part of the surface of the substrate is covered, and/or an antioxidant supported in a layer forming at least a part of the surface of the substrate; wherein 0.01 g/m2 or more and 20 g/m2 or less of the antioxidant is included relative to the area of the part in which the antioxidant is present, of the surface of the substrate.
