Abstract: A clutch device includes an input rotor, a first clutch, a second clutch, a first drive mechanism and a second drive mechanism. A first clutch is disposed switchably between a first transmitting state of transmitting power and a first blocking state of blocking power transmission. A second clutch is disposed switchably between a second transmitting state of transmitting power and a second blocking state of blocking power transmission. The first drive mechanism includes a first drive support member and the second drive mechanism includes a second drive support member. A drive clearance is configured to be produced axially between the first drive support member and the second drive support member in the first blocking state and the second blocking state.

Abstract: An operation determination processing section of a center extracts words included in the utterance of a driver and an operator, reads an attribute associated with each word from a synonym and related word in which an attribute is stored so as to be associated with each word, reads a domain of a candidate or the like for the task associated with the attribute from the synonym and related word in which domains of a candidate for a task associated with the read attribute or domains of a task to be actually performed are stored, totals the domains read for each word for words included in the utterance of the driver or the like, and estimates those related to a domain with a highest total score as the candidate for the task and the task to be actually performed. In this manner, it is possible to estimate the task with high accuracy.

Abstract: A clutch disc assembly includes an annular friction part, an input member, an output member and an elastic member. The input member includes a fixation plate, a fixation member and a holding plate. The fixation plate has at least a fixation hole. The fixation hole axially penetrates through the fixation plate. The fixation member is inserted into the fixation hole. The fixation member fixes the friction part to the fixation plate. The holding plate has at least a spare hole. The spare hole axially penetrates through the holding plate. The holding plate holds the elastic member in an elastically deformable state together with the fixation plate. The spare hole is disposed in a radial position substantially the same as a radial position of the fixation hole.

Abstract: A multiple clutch device 1 includes a first clutch component 10, a second clutch component 20, a first oil channel 51, and a second oil channel 51. The first clutch component 10 is able to link an input shaft 2 and a first output shaft 3 by frictional engagement. The second clutch component 20 is able to link the input shaft 2 and a second output shaft 4 by frictional engagement. The first oil channel 51 serves to supply lubricating fluid to the first clutch component 10. The second oil channel 52 is substantially independent from the first oil channel 51, and serves to supply lubricating fluid to the second clutch component 20.

Abstract: From a database for reports, storage-location information paired with the characteristics information of this patient's medical image is searched. Then, the medical image stored in a storage location corresponding to the searched storage-location information is acquired, and this acquired medical image is simultaneously displayed with a patient's medical image. In this database, established-disease-name information that includes those with “no findings” or post-surgery-image-identifying information is stored by corresponding to the storage-location information, and the database is searched based on the established-disease-name information that indicates no findings or post-surgery-image-identifying information, and then corresponding medical images are acquired and simultaneously displayed with the patient's medical image.

Abstract: A wet type multiple disc clutch transmits torque from an engine a transmission and a clutch engaging portion, a piston, a first oil passage, a second oil passage, and an operating oil supply unit. The clutch engaging portion includes a plurality of plate members. The first oil passage has one end on the piston side. The second oil passage has one end on the clutch engaging portion side. The operating oil supply unit switches a clutch engaged state, in which operating oil is supplied to the first oil passage from the outside and the operating oil in the second oil passage is drained to the outside, to a clutch disengaged state.

Abstract: A power transmission device is provided to transmit power from an engine to a transmission, including a transmission mechanism, a first clutch, a second clutch, a damper mechanism, and a casing. The transmission mechanism is configured to transmit power with two kinds of rotational speeds that vary in stages. The first clutch is configured to switch rotational speed in the transmission mechanism to decrease the speed ratio. The second clutch is configured to set the rotational speed ratio of the transmission mechanism so that output rotational speed equals input rotational speed, that is, the transmission mechanism is in a fixed state.

Abstract: From a database for reports stored by pairing characteristics information of a medical image intended for a radiogram interpretation with the storage-location information from the contents of accumulated radiogram-interpretation reports, the storage-location information that is at the very least paired with the characteristics information of this patient's medical image is searched. Then, the medical image stored in a storage location corresponding to the searched storage-location information is acquired, and this acquired medical image is simultaneously displayed with a patient's medical image.
