Abstract: An autonomous moving apparatus includes a moving unit that moves the autonomous moving apparatus, a detector that detects distances from surrounding objects and shapes of the surrounding objects, a notifying unit that notifies surrounding persons, and a controller that controls the moving unit so that the autonomous moving apparatus moves so as to follow movement of a person recognized as a follow target by the detector and, when the person recognized as the follow target performs a specific action, controls the notifying unit to give a notification by a preset notification method in response to the specific action.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biaryl derivative or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof having an excellent collagen-synthesis inhibition activity. A biaryl derivative having a structure represented by the following General Formula (I) or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof: wherein R1 represents a C6-C10 aryl group which is substituted with one to three group(s) each independently selected from the group consisting of a group defined by formula R-L-, a di-(C1-C6 alkyl)amino group, a di-(C1-C6 alkyl)aminosulfonyl group, a hydroxyaminocarbonyl group, and a halogen atom, and so on; R represents a C1-C6 alkyl group, and so on; L represents a sulfonyl group, an aminosulfonyl group, or a sulfonylamino group, and so on; R2 represents a hydrogen atom, and so on; A represents a group defined by formula (II), (III), or (IV); R3 represents a C1-C6 alkyl group, and so on; and R4 represents a C1-C6 alkyl group, and so on.
