Abstract: An electric vehicle control method for braking of an electric vehicle applies a front braking torque to a front drive motor that drives a front wheel and applies a rear braking torque to a rear drive motor that drives a rear wheel. The method includes: during the braking, executing a torque limiting process (process B, process C, front braking torque control) that reduces the front braking torque and the rear braking torque when a slip of the front wheel is detected; and executing a distribution torque changing process that increases the front braking torque while maintaining a sum of the front braking torque and the rear braking torque when a slip of the rear wheel is detected.

Abstract: An optical-fiber-embedding sheet which is a strip-shaped sheet material containing an optical fiber to be used as a sensor and is configured of a base material and an adhesive layer formed thereover which is to be bonded to a placement object where the optical fiber is to be placed, the optical fiber having been embedded in the adhesive layer. The optical fiber is placed by applying a primer, which is for curing the adhesive layer by a chemical reaction with the adhesive layer, to a placement object for the optical fiber and thereafter applying the optical-fiber-embedding sheet to the portion of the placement object to which the primer has been applied.

Abstract: An inspection support apparatus according to an aspect includes a memory and a processor connected to the memory, and the processor is configured to obtain three-dimensional data of the structure that includes a plurality of planes formed by the frame; from the three-dimensional data, detect a plurality of first planes that include at least three points of the three-dimensional data; for each of the detected first planes, compute, from the three-dimensional data, a number of three-dimensional points at a distance that is equal to or shorter than a prescribed distance from the first plane; and according to the computed number of three-dimensional points, identify, from the detected plurality of first planes, a second plane positioned on a forefront of the frame of the structure.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor acquires a plurality of images of an installed rebar group that have been captured while an image capturing region is being moved in a direction intersecting the rebar group, detects a tracking target from a first edge portion, and correlates, when the processor has detected the tracking target from the first edge portion, either of a detection image that is an image of the detected tracking target or a captured image captured after the detection or alternative information generated on the basis of the detection image or the captured image with identification information for identifying a rebar belonging to the rebar group and located within a predetermined range from the tracking target, and records the image, or alternative information correlated with the identification information in a recording apparatus.

Abstract: A method is provided for reducing autogenous shrinkage in ultra high-strength concrete in the blending of ultra high-strength concrete with a compression strength in excess of 100 N/mm2, comprising the steps of: replacing 30 vol. % or less of coarse aggregate with artificial lightweight aggregate, and blending in a expansive additive in the amount of 30 kg/m3 of concrete and/or a shrinkage reducing agent in the amount of 4 wt. % or less per unit weight of binder, and thereby bringing the amount of autogenous shrinkage at a curing age of 91 days to 0-600 ?m/m. The artificial lightweight aggregate used has water absorption of 5% or greater and 20% or less, a collapse load of 1000-2000 N and a bone-dry density of 1.4-2.0 g/cm3.
