Abstract: A seated state detection device according to an embodiment includes a detection unit, a state determination unit, and an output unit. The detection unit detects, from taken image data output from an imaging unit that images a seat to which a mark is added, whether the mark is shielded. The state determination unit determines a seated state of the seat based on a shielded state of the mark. The output unit outputs seating information indicating the seated state.

Abstract: A driving support apparatus according the embodiment includes: a determination unit that determines driving support control having a driving support resource amount that is capable of assuring required resources with respect to a resource amount that is capable of being assured by a level of a vehicle driver's concentration on driving, the required resources being assumed to be required for safe driving; and a driving support unit that changes the driving support control to be performed to driving support control that is determined by the determination unit to be capable of assuring the required resources.

Abstract: A driving assistance device of one embodiment includes an acquirer that acquires first environmental information representing an environment of a traveling point of a vehicle after elapse of a given length of time from a current traveling point of the vehicle, a check information storage that stores second environmental information representing an environment of a point at which the vehicle has traveled and check action information representing a driver's necessary action under the environment indicated by the second environmental information, in association with each other, an action information storage that stores third environmental information and actual action information representing an actual action of the driver under the environment indicated by the third environmental information, in association with each other, a comparer that compares the check action information, which is associated with the second environmental information of the environment indicated by the first environmental information in th

Abstract: A drive assist apparatus includes a recognition processing portion recognizing circumstances of surroundings of a vehicle, a drive assistance processing portion performing a drive assist control in accordance with the circumstances of the surroundings, a display processing portion displaying a change of the circumstances of the surroundings on a display portion, a detection processing portion detecting information related to a line of sight of a driver of the vehicle, and in a case where the circumstances of the surroundings of the vehicle change, an output processing portion outputting a first notice notifying the driver that the circumstances of the surroundings of the vehicle have changed outputting a second notice notifying again the driver that the circumstances of the surroundings have changed after the first notice is outputted if it is not detected that the line of sight of the driver is directed to the display portion.

Abstract: A walking analyzer includes an acceleration sensor detecting an up-down acceleration, a front-rear acceleration, and a right-left acceleration of a person, an acceleration change calculating device for calculating changes of each acceleration in time, a time period extracting device extracting a certain time period in which a certain walking movement is performed on the basis of the changes of the acceleration in time of one of the up-down acceleration, the front-rear acceleration and the right-left acceleration, an estimated indicator calculating device calculating an estimated indicator related to a walking ability and a walking ability estimating device estimating a walking ability by use of the estimated indicator and by use of a predetermined relation between an estimated indicator and a walking ability.

Abstract: A micromachined pump apparatus 1 includes a substrate 2 having upper and lower surfaces and a plurality of lengthwise arranged apertures 2A-2E, each of which has an upper surface opening and a lower surface opening. A plurality of diaphragms 6A-6E close the upper surface openings of the apertures 2A-2E, respectively. A guide plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the substrate 2 and defines a passage 3a through which an object fluid is moved by cooperating with the diaphragms on the upper surface of the substrate 2. A base plate 4 is fixedly mounted at its upper surface on the lower surface of the substrate 2, thereby enclosing an operating fluid in each of the apertures 2A-2E. An electrically operated heater device 5 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 4 for heating the fluids in the apertures 2A-2E, respectively, in such a manner that whenever the fluids are heated the resultant expansion of the respective operating fluid expands the diaphragms, respectively, toward the passage.
