Abstract: A parking assist apparatus is configured to perform a deviation control including at least one of a first notification control and a stop control when the parking assist apparatus determines that a vehicle that is performing an automatic parking deviates from a learned route. The parking assist apparatus is configured to learn, as the learned route, a position of the vehicle in each of multiple learned images that an outside-vehicle camera captures a space including the vehicle and the parking space multiple times while the vehicle is performing a manual parking or the automatic parking; and perform the deviation control when the parking assist apparatus determines that the vehicle deviates based on a position of the vehicle in a comparative image and a position of the vehicle in the learned image.

Abstract: A parking assistance system includes: a non-on-board sensor that is able to acquire first information that is three-dimensional information of a first area including a target parking space being a target area in which an own vehicle is parked; an on-board sensor that is able to acquire second information that is three-dimensional information of a second area being a surrounding area of the own vehicle and constituting a part of the first area; and a control device configured to determine a route along which the own vehicle moves to the target parking space based on the first information and the second information and to control the own vehicle such that the own vehicle moves along the route.

Abstract: A hexapeptide represented by formula (II):A-B-Pro-C-D-E (I)where A represents an L- or D- form of arginine or lysine whose N-terminal amino group is alkylated or acylated, B represents an L- or D- form of argine, lysine, or histidine, Pro represents an L- or D- form of proline, C represents an L- or D- form of tyrosine, tryptophan, or phenylalanine, D represents an L- or D- form of valine, isolencine, or leucine, and E represents an L-or D- form of valine, isolencine, or lencine, one of the hydrogen atoms of the amino group of which may be substituted a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl group, and C-terminal carboxyl group of which is substituted with --COOR*, --CH.sub.2 OR, or --CONHR wherein R* represents a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl group, and R represents a hydrogen atom or an C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl group.

Abstract: An inversion spring unit for a thermal overload relay and method for making the same, comprising a support member, a spring plate having a first end, a second end, an elongated central axis, and first and second side portions disposed on opposite sides of the central axis, the side protions being bent towards each other at the first end and attached at the first end to the support member for causing the second end of the spring plate to curve in a first direction away from the central axis, and a lug disposed intermediate the first and second ends for selective engagement with a drive portion to cause the second end of the spring plate to curve in a second direction opposite the first direction.
