Abstract: A monitoring device receives an image captured by an image capturing device mounted on a vehicle. The monitoring device performs a monitoring process for a preset monitoring range based on the captured image received from the image capturing unit. The monitoring device displays a plurality of menus indicating different monitoring ranges on a display device, and sets a monitoring range corresponding to a menu selected by the user from the plurality of menus as the monitoring range in the monitoring process.

Abstract: A camera module includes a camera imaging a region outside a rear end portion of a vehicle and a storage storing first and second dictionary information corresponding to a first area and a second area. When the camera take an image of a pedestrian and a detected latitude and longitude correspond to the first area, the camera module recognizes the image of the pedestrian based on the first dictionary information, outputs a first vehicle control signal based on a recognition result, and outputs a status the first dictionary information is used. When the camera takes an image of a pedestrian and a detected latitude and longitude correspond to the second area, the camera module recognizes the image of the pedestrian based on the second dictionary information, outputs a second vehicle control signal based on a recognition result, and outputs a status that the second dictionary information is used.

Abstract: An in-vehicle camera installed in a vehicle includes an imaging circuit, a detector circuit, and a calibrator circuit. The imaging circuit generates image data. The detector circuit stores predetermined first instruction information and detects whether the image data generated by the imaging circuit includes the first instruction information. When the detector circuit detects that the image data includes the first instruction information, the calibrator circuit starts a calibration process of the in-vehicle camera.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for managing a process that include schedule management, quality, and process management features. Information is stored on an authorized person in charge and a conformity standard for the work to be managed. From this information, a managing method of the work to be managed from among a plurality of managing methods classified in advance is determined. Processes are determined for each management method, and a time limit determined by the authorized person in charge for each managed process. Adherence standards related to the managed processes are included, as well as records made of the process information including the performance quality of the managed process.

Abstract: Sustained-release preparations essentially consisting of 1 part by weight of a water-soluble active ingredient and 1 to 10 parts by weight of two or more fats where the melting point is different in one from others, being capable of releasing active ingredients at a constant rate for a long-period of time, and being manufactured easily and economically.

Abstract: An antibacterial, 7.beta.-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-4-carboxybut-2-enoylamino]-3-cephem-4 -carboxylic acid is stable in a (di or tri)-hydrate crystal form. A pharmacologically effective amount of this hydrate is filled in a gelatin hard capsule and sealed by a band of gelatin to make a stable composition for clinical use after storage for a long time.

Abstract: A paper transporting tractor for transporting paper provided with sprocket holes at an equally spaced interval along either side thereof includes a first endless belt having a plurality of sprockets at its outer peripheral surface and a serrated portion at its inner peripheral surface, a driving gear which is in mesh with the serrated portion of the belt thereby causing the belt to move either forward or backward, an end guide portion provided as spaced apart from the driving gear to provide the first endless belt as extended between the gear and the end guide portion and a second endless belt of thin film provided around the end guide portion as sandwiched between the first endless belt and the end guide portion at least partly thereby allowing to substantially decrease the friction between the first endless belt and the end guide portion.

Abstract: Highly effective and orally administrable sustained-release preparation of an antihypertensive agent, pinacidil (N"-cyano-N-4-pyridyl-N'-1,2,2-trimethylpropylguanidine) comprising a rapid-release and a slow-release component at a ratio of about 7:3 to about 1:9 by pinacidil weight.

Abstract: Highly potent long-acting formulation of cefaclor for treating bacterial infections in human or animals, comprising a rapid-release and a slow-release component at a ratio of about 3:7 to about 5:5 by potency of cefaclor, convenient for administration or carrying about.

Abstract: A composite measure of varying capacity, composed of supplying-aperture of straight cylinder and an inside measure telescopically inserted into the aperture and having a hollow of frusto-conical section, is employed in order to improve accommodation of the known conventional capacity type rotary powder filling machine, to powder of varying bulk density.A turntable which receives the supplying-aperture, superimposes over another turntable which holds the inside measure, and the distance between the both, is adjustable during the operation in accordance with the variance in the bulk density. The height of the container transferring path is also adjustable simultaneously with that of the second turntable.Spouting of compressed-air through an annular nozzle the diameter of which approximates to that of the aperture as a flow parallel to their inside wall is effected to blow off remaining powder in the measure and clean the same when the nozzle is disposed on the aperture.
