Abstract: An information processing device includes a first acquisition unit configured to acquire, from a user, first action schedule information including a first target place, a first desired arrival time, and a first desired stay time, and second action schedule information including a second target place, a second desired arrival time, and a second desired stay time, a second acquisition unit configured to acquire a first use condition and a second use condition, and a scheduling unit configured to decide a first scheduled time of arrival at the first target place and a second scheduled time of arrival at the second target place such that the first desired arrival time and the first desired stay time satisfy a first usable condition and such that the second desired arrival time and the second desired stay time satisfy a second usable condition.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a first acquisition unit, a first output unit, a second acquisition unit, a second output unit, and a third acquisition unit. The first acquisition unit acquires current position information indicating a current position of a vehicle. The first output unit outputs traveling guidance from a relationship between a pre-set vehicle route and the current position of the vehicle. The second acquisition unit acquires content. The second output unit outputs the content acquired by the second acquisition unit. The third acquisition unit acquires road section information specifying a road section where the traveling guidance is stopped. The first output unit stops the output of the traveling guidance based on the road section information acquired by the third acquisition unit and the current position of the vehicle.

Abstract: A detour recommended area estimation system includes: a recording medium; and a control unit configured to collect probe information from a vehicle; acquire a travel-avoided direction based on the probe information when the vehicle made a detour, the travel-avoided direction being a direction in which the vehicle would have been traveled if the detour had not been made; estimate an area in which a direction dependence degree of the travel-avoided direction is less than a reference value as a detour recommended area, and record the detour recommended area in a recording medium.

Abstract: A display unit displays an object. A detection unit detects a touch operation on the display unit. A change unit widens a display space of the object while keeping a display size of the object when range selection of the object displayed on the display unit is performed through the touch operation.

Abstract: A polyester resin toner binder which gives a toner with good anti-blocking property at high temperature and high humidity and good low-temperature fixing ability. The present invention is directed to a toner binder for developing electrostatic charge images, which binder comprises a condensation-polymerization polyester resin, the polyester resin being a product formed in the presence of a catalyst (a) represented by the following general formula (I): Ti(—X)m(—OR)n??(I) wherein R, X, m and n are as defined herein.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for producing an aqueous dispersion (X1), the method including a step that includes mixing an aqueous dispersion liquid (W) of resin particles (A) comprising a resin (a) with a precursor (b0) of a resin (b) or an oily liquid (OL) comprising the precursor (b0) and an organic solvent to disperse the precursor (b0) or the oily liquid (OL) in the aqueous dispersion liquid (W), followed by causing the precursor (b0) to react in the aqueous dispersion liquid (W) to form resin particles (B) comprising the resin (b), thereby obtaining the aqueous dispersion (X1) of resin particles (C) having a structure where resin particles (A) are adhered on the surface of the resin particles (B), wherein at least one of the resin (a) and the resin (b) contains a polyester resin (p1) formed in the presence of a specific titanium catalyst (t) or a resin (p2) having the polyester resin (p1) as a constituent unit.

Abstract: The present invention provides an ester composition which can tenderize a stringy hard meat such as beef from abroad to a proper tenderness, the processing time, etc. and a meat tenderizer comprising said ester composition and protease without giving a special control over the amount of an enzyme. The present invention also provides a meat modifier which can provide a tender, juicy and less stringy meat that can be easily served and a food meat or meat product processed with such a meat modifier. A meat modifier is also provided, comprising an ester composition of a C.sub.12-22 saturated or unsaturated fatty monoglyceride with succinic acid or diacetyltartaric acid having an acid value of from 30 to 120. The present invention provides a meat modifier comprising the ester composition and a metalloprotease, which no longer causes round to be tenderized after 24 hours of storage at a temperature of 20.degree.
