Abstract: An input of a constraint parameter associated with a constraint required when optimizing a target is received. An objective function to be utilized for the optimization of the target is computed by using optimized results by an expert who has performed the optimization in the past, the constraint parameter, and an inverse optimization technique. The target is optimized based on the objective function.

Abstract: A scheduling request related to a target advertisement that is to be scheduled are received. It is determined, based on: program scheduling data including respective attribute information related to a plurality of programs in which an advertisement is to be broadcast in an advertisement broadcast time that is set in a program broadcast time; and the scheduling request, whether to broadcast the target advertisement in an advertisement broadcast time set in the broadcast time of any program of the plurality of programs.

Abstract: Based on decided schedule data pertaining to an object to be scheduled and a feature of the object to be scheduled, an objective function used for generating schedule data for an object to be scheduled is calculated. Schedule data for the object to be scheduled scheduling of which is undecided is generated by using a feature of the object to be scheduled scheduling of which is undecided and the objective function.

Abstract: A belt molding that achieves a reduced separating/contacting noise includes a protrusion formed on an outer surface of a side portion, which is opposed to a glass, of a molding main body, a seal lip that is formed below the protrusion on the outer surface of the side portion, which is opposed to the glass, of the molding main body and is configured to be in contact with the glass, which rises and lowers, and is capable of being in contact with the protrusion when the glass is fully-closed. A skin is disposed on at least one of contacting portions among a seal lip contacting portion of the protrusion that contacts the seal lip and a protrusion contacting portion of the seal lip that contacts the protrusion. The skin is made of a harder material than a material of the protrusion or the seal lip that include the skin.
