Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a data set including a requested acceleration as information representing movement of a vehicle in a front-rear direction and any one of a steering angle, a yaw rate, and a rotation radius as information representing movement of the vehicle in a lateral direction from each of a plurality of applications, an arbitration unit configured to perform arbitration of information representing the movement of the vehicle in the front-rear direction and arbitration of information representing the movement of the vehicle in the lateral direction based on a plurality of the data sets received by the receiver, and a first output unit configured to output instruction information for driving an actuator based on an arbitration result of the arbitration unit.

Abstract: A motor control device includes a driving control part and an upper limit value setting part. The driving control part controls motor driving by switching between a first driving mode and a second driving mode, and controls an output duty ratio so as not to exceed a duty ratio upper limit value. The upper limit value setting part sets, as the duty ratio upper limit value, a low rotation duty ratio upper limit value, a maximum duty ratio upper limit value corresponding to a maximum output value, and an upper limit value of a transition period from the low rotation duty ratio upper limit value to the maximum duty ratio upper limit value, and changes slope information indicating a change amount in the upper limit value of the transition period according to the driving mode when switching between the first driving mode and the second driving mode.

Abstract: A motor control device which controls a motor having an output shaft includes a vehicle speed detection part and a driving control part. The vehicle speed detection part detects a vehicle speed, which is a traveling speed of a vehicle mounted with the motor. Based on the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detection part, the driving control part performs control of switching between a first driving mode which drives the motor, and a second driving mode in which a number of revolutions of the output shaft and an output of the motor are higher than in the first driving mode.

Abstract: A hierarchical cache memory system having first and second cache memories includes: a controller which outputs dirty data stored in the first cache memory to write back to a main memory; and a controller which processes the write-back to the main memory of the dirty data outputted from the first cache memory in parallel with the write-back to the main memory of dirty data stored in the second cache memory.

Abstract: A fuel cell membrane electrode having a cathode catalyst layer on one surface of a polymer electrolyte membrane, and an anode catalyst layer on the other surface of the membrane, the cathode catalyst layer being supplied with an oxygen-containing gas, and the anode catalyst layer being supplied with a hydrogen-containing gas, and wherein an active oxygen removing layer containing an active oxygen removing material is provided on at least one of interfaces between the membrane and the catalyst layers coated on both surfaces of the membrane, and the active oxygen removing material is CO3O4, Sb2O4, activated carbon, or a solid acid catalyst; and a fuel cell using the membrane electrode.

Abstract: A stacked fuel cell comprises a plurality of cell films and a plurality of separators stacked alternately. The cell films each comprise a solid polymer electrolyte film sandwiched between electrode films made of graphite, while the separators are electrically conductive graphite separators each having a fuel gas channel formed in one surface thereof, and an oxidant gas channel formed in the other surface thereof. In the stacked fuel cell, a plurality of partition plates are interposed with predetermined spacing in the direction of stacking. The partition plates each have an electrically conductive graphite terminal board having a groove formed as a piercing portion, through which a band-shaped fastener made of resin (for example, polypropylene) is passed in a direction perpendicular to the direction of stacking, and an electrically conductive graphite end separator having a gas channel formed in a surface thereof in contact with the cell film.

Abstract: At the time of the preparation of the core macro, the empty interconnection area extraction on the core macro is carried out and the fixed passage in the core macro is prepared by using the empty interconnection area. At the time of the chip layout, the interconnection is provided by using the interconnection for the fixed passage in the core macro. Also, at the time of the preparation of the core macro, the fixed passage interconnection in the core macro is set either in the VDD potential or in the GND potential to prepare the delay library of the core macro.

Abstract: An austenitic stainless steel for use for high temperature concentrated sulfuric acid which comprises, on weight basis, 0.04% or less of C, 5-7% of Si, 2% or less of Mn, 15-25% of Cr, 4-24% of Ni, 0.01-1.07% of Pd and the rest consisting of Fe and unavoidable contaminant materials. By the incorporation of small amount of palladium in a basal austenitic stainless steel containing the essential three elements of Cr, Ni and Si, a superior corrosion resistance against highly concentrated high temperature sulfuric acid is attained.

Abstract: Disclosed is a novel compound of 3-aminopyrrolidine having the formula (I): ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen, an alkyl, an aralkyl or an aryl.

Abstract: An apparatus for continuously manufacturing fibrous high protein foods comprises an apparatus for supplying a fixed quantity of fibrous structure formable food raw material from a nozzle, said food material being obtained through the steps of curdling cow's milk such as whole milk or skim milk by the addition of a coagulating agent and removing whey from the resulting curds, an apparatus for extending the raw material supplied from the supplying apparatus by applying a fixed tension thereto while delivering the raw material by the aid of free rollers and drive rollers, an apparatus for cooling the extended raw material supplied from the extension apparatus; and an apparatus for cutting the raw material supplied from the cooling apparatus in fixed lengths.
