The controller proposes the delivery location and the delivery date and time to the corresponding customer.

Abstract: The processing circuit of the delivery management system sets the delivery area based on the current position of the delivery vehicle. The processing circuit notifies the delivery destination located in the delivery area that the package is to be delivered. The processing circuit permits the delivery vehicle to deliver the package to the delivery destination to which the response to the notification of the delivery of the package is received, and does not permit the delivery vehicle to deliver the package to the delivery destination to which the response to the notification has not been received.

Abstract: A delivery assistance device includes controller that creates a parcel delivery route of a delivery vehicle loaded with multiple parcels. The controller obtains position information of the multiple parcels in the delivery vehicle. The controller creates the delivery route based on the position information of the multiple parcels such that a parcel at a position where the parcel is easily unloaded from the delivery vehicle can be delivered to a delivery destination earlier than a parcel at a position where the parcel is not easily unloaded from the delivery vehicle.

Abstract: A delivery assistance method is for assisting a delivery person in delivering luggage addressed to a customer who receives a luggage delivery service to a luggage locker installed at a location designated by the customer. The delivery assistance method includes: acquiring, with a control device, location candidates selected by the customer as a candidate for a pickup location of the luggage; acquiring, with the control device, locker information including availability of the luggage locker installed at each of the location candidates; selecting, with the control device, a location candidate at which the luggage locker is available from the location candidates as a delivery destination of the luggage based on the locker information; and notifying, with a communication device, the customer of the delivery destination, which is selected with the control device.

Abstract: The delivery support device is a device that notifies a customer of a magnitude of an environmental load caused by delivery of a package using a shipping vehicle. The control device of the delivery support device performs, when the redelivery of the package is required, calculation of the magnitude of the environmental load associated with the redelivery and notification of the magnitude of the environmental load associated with the redelivery to the customer who needs the redelivery . . .

Abstract: The disclosure improves the quality of seams in sewing using a sewing machine, and includes: a holder holding fabric; a driver being detachable from a bed of a sewing machine and driving the holder along an upper surface of the bed; a position detector detecting a position of a sewing needle of the sewing machine in an up-down direction; and a controller controlling driving of the holder, which is performed by the driver, based on a detection result of the position detector.

Abstract: A sewing machine external unit includes: a holder holding fabric; a driver being detachable from a bed of a sewing machine and driving the holder along an upper surface of the bed; a pressing member moving in an up-down direction according to movement of a sewing needle in the up-down direction, pressing the fabric while the sewing needle is stuck in the fabric, and rising together with the sewing needle in response to the sewing needle coming out of the fabric and rising; a position detector detecting a position of the pressing member in the up-down direction; a signal output part outputting a signal to the sewing machine; and a controller outputting a needle drive signal for driving the sewing needle from the signal output part to the sewing machine, and controlling driving of the holder and/or the sewing needle based on a detection result of the position detector.

Abstract: In a semiconductor device, an epitaxial substrate includes a SiC (silicon carbide) substrate and a GaN (gallium nitride) epitaxial layer formed on the SiC substrate. A multi-layer wiring structure is formed on the front-face side of the epitaxial substrate, and includes at least one metal wiring layer and an organic interlayer dielectric. A back-face metal layer is formed on the back face of the epitaxial substrate. At least one via hole is formed in the epitaxial substrate, and is configured to provide a connection between the multi-layer wiring structure and the back-face metal layer.

Abstract: According to one exemplary embodiment, a single crystal pulling-up apparatus of pulling-up silicon single crystals by a Czochralski method, is provided with: a neck diameter measuring portion which measures a diameter of a grown neck portion; a first compensation portion which outputs a first compensated pulling-up speed for the seed crystals based on a difference between a measured value of the diameter of the neck portion and a target value of the neck portion diameter previously stored; a second compensation portion which outputs a second pulling-up speed while limiting an upper limit of the first pulling-up speed to a first limit value; and a crucible rotation number compensation portion which lowers the number of a rotation of a crucible at least in a period where the upper limit of the first pulling-up speed is limited to the first limit value.

Abstract: A pickup cable for a stringed instrument can switch between the output of the direct vibrational sound of strings and the output of the sound from the stringed instrument body generated by the vibrations of the strings and can also simultaneously output both the sound components. The pickup cable for a stringed instrument includes an input terminal to be inserted in a jack of the stringed instrument; a microphone to collect and convert sound of an internal space of the stringed instrument into collected-sound electrical signals; and an output terminal to output the collected-sound electrical signals. The microphone is incorporated in the input terminal.
