Abstract: A damage reduction device according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an input unit, a prediction unit, a recognition unit, and a determination unit. The input unit inputs status data regarding a status in a moving direction of a moving body apparatus. The prediction unit predicts a collision with an object in the moving direction on the basis of the status data. The recognition unit recognizes whether the object includes a person. The determination unit determines, when the collision with the object is predicted and it is recognized that the object includes a person, a steering direction of the moving body apparatus in which a collision with the person is avoidable, on the basis of the status data.

The outer circumferential cover member includes a plurality of outer circumferential side facing portions facing outer circumferential surfaces of the plurality of magnetic pole pieces, and a plurality of outer circumferential side connecting portions for connecting two adjacent outer circumferential side facing portions of the plurality of outer circumferential side facing portions.

Abstract: An evaporator (2) is provided with a casing (5), a refrigerant supply section (7), a first heat transfer pipe group (10), and a second heat transfer pipe group (11). The first heat transfer pipe group (10) is disposed in the lower part of the space in the casing (5) so as to be immersed in the refrigerant and comprises a plurality of heat transfer pipes (12) through which liquid to be cooled flows. The second heat transfer pipe group (11) is provided in the space in the casing (5) at a position below the refrigerant supply section (7) and above the liquid level of the refrigerant, and comprises a plurality of second heat transfer pipes (13) through which liquid to be cooled flows.

Abstract: A carbon dioxide recovery system for collecting carbon dioxide from an exhaust gas generated in a facility including a combustion device includes: a first exhaust gas passage through which the exhaust gas containing carbon dioxide flows; a fuel cell including an anode, a cathode disposed on the first exhaust gas passage so that the exhaust gas from the first exhaust gas passage is supplied to the cathode, and an electrolyte transferring, from the cathode to the anode, a carbonate ion derived from carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas from the first exhaust gas passage; and a second exhaust gas passage diverging from the first exhaust gas passage upstream of the cathode so as to bypass the cathode. A part of the exhaust gas is introduced to the second exhaust gas passage.

Abstract: A plant includes a fuel supply line for supplying high-pressure fuel gas; and at least one expander disposed in the fuel supply line and configured to extract power from the high-pressure fuel gas by expanding the high-pressure fuel gas.
