Abstract: This invention provides a carbon nanostructure including: carbon containing rod-shaped materials and/or carbon containing sheet-shaped materials which are bound three-dimensionally; and graphene multilayer membrane walls which are formed in the rod-shaped materials and/or the sheet-shaped materials; wherein air-sac-like pores, which are defined by the graphene multilayer membrane walls, are formed in the rod-shaped materials and/or the sheet-shaped materials.

Abstract: A light source control device configured to control a plurality of light sources provided in a game machine, an anode of each of the plurality of light sources being connected to one of at least one first signal wire, a cathode being connected to one of a plurality of second signal wires, the light sources differing from each other in a set of the connected first signal wire and second signal wire, has a plurality of first output pins, a plurality of second output pins, an interface, a storage, a dynamic controller, a period-setting unit, and a gradation controller. Each of the plurality of first output pins is provided in corresponding one of the at least one first signal wire. The plurality of first output pins connect to a drive circuit that switches whether power is supplied to the first signal wire.

Abstract: A negative electrode used for a nonaqueous electrolyte solution battery having nonaqueous electrolyte solution containing lithium ion includes a metal carbon composite material. The metal carbon composite material has a porous carbon material having cavities, and a metal material made of metal to reversibly store or emit lithium ion. The metal material is arranged on a surface of the porous carbon material including inner surfaces of the cavities. The porous carbon material has a mass of 1-65 mass % when the metal carbon composite material is defined to have a mass of 100 mass %.

Abstract: A vehicular visual assistance system includes: a retro-reflective surface formed on an inside face of a pillar that is in a position obstructing the view of a vehicle driver seated on a driver's seat within a vehicle compartment; a camera mounted on the vehicle outside the vehicle compartment for taking an image outward from the pillar in a direction that is substantially the same as the line of vision of the vehicle driver on the driver's seat; and a projector for projecting in real time the image taken by the camera toward the retro-reflective surface of the pillar. The projector is fixedly disposed within the vehicle compartment at a position close to the eyes of the vehicle driver on the driver's seat. Thus, it is possible to eliminate a blind spot due to the pillar, thereby enhancing safety of driving.
