Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus of a vehicle, includes: a first calculating unit that calculates a curve curvature radius of a road where the vehicle travels; a second calculating unit that calculates a transverse direction acceleration in a direction intersecting with a traveling direction of the vehicle; a setting unit that sets an allowable upper limit value of the transverse direction acceleration, according to the curve curvature radius; and a control unit that performs a control to accelerate or decelerate the vehicle. In a case where the transverse direction acceleration is larger than the allowable upper limit value, the control unit performs control such that the vehicle accelerates.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus for performing control such that a vehicle follows a preceding vehicle, includes: a calculating unit that calculates a target time for an inter-vehicle distance deviation which is obtained by subtracting a target inter-vehicle distance from a measurement value of the inter-vehicle distance between the vehicle and the preceding vehicle to be substantially 0; a correction unit that calculates a correction deceleration larger than a target deceleration in a case where the inter-vehicle distance deviation provides a deviation corresponding to a position of the vehicle closer to the preceding vehicle than a position where the inter-vehicle distance deviation is substantially 0; and a control unit that controls a deceleration of the vehicle at a deceleration jerk according to a magnitude of the correction deceleration such that, when the target time comes, the inter-vehicle distance deviation is substantially 0.

Abstract: A clay dispersion, wherein an organically modified clay is dispersed in a polar organic solvent, and the clay dispersion is obtained by: dispersing a swelling clay in a liquid which includes water as a main component; adding organic onium ions to the liquid to cause ion-exchange between the organic onium ions and hydrophilic cations existing on the surface of the swelling clay to obtain an organically modified clay; removing the ion-exchanged hydrophilic cation to obtain the organically modified clay which is in a condition that water exists in the clay; and adding the organically modified clay from which the ion-exchanged hydrophilic cation is removed to an polar organic solvent.
