Abstract: A navigation control system includes an obstacle detector on a hull to detect a distance from a hull to an obstacle on a water surface and a position of the obstacle, a thruster on the hull to generate a propulsive force, a steering to steer the thruster to right and left sides of the hull, and a controller configured or programmed to perform a control to determine an obstacle avoidance route based on a route function including at least an indicator of a lateral acceleration that acts on the hull during steering of the thruster when the obstacle is detected by the obstacle detector.

Abstract: A marine propulsion system includes a controller configured or programmed to perform a marine vessel traveling direction control such that a traveling direction of a marine vessel is changed to a predetermined angle equal to or greater than a first angle with respect to a traveling direction of waves toward the marine vessel when the traveling direction of the marine vessel is less than the first angle with respect to the traveling direction of the waves toward the marine vessel.

Abstract: A marine vessel maneuvering system includes a controller configured or programmed to perform a water entry determination control to determine whether or not water behind a hull that rises above a water surface due to deceleration of the hull may enter the hull when the hull is decelerating.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing device includes a receiving unit that receives a segment file having a plurality of segments and a setting file in which a group to which the segment file belongs is set, and an extraction unit that extracts one or more MP4 samples included in a segment of the segment file and adds attribute information including a reproduction start time of the MP4 sample to the MP4 sample. The information processing device further includes a determination unit that determines a switching position at which the segment file belonging to the group after switching is output in units of the MP4 samples on the basis of an accepted switching operation of the group and the attribute information, and an output unit that outputs an output signal generated from the segment file belonging to the group after the switching from the switching position to an output device.

Abstract: A system and method control an automobile by decelerating the automobile at a first deceleration using a braking mechanism in response to detecting that a parking brake switch is turned on, a second deceleration which is smaller than the first deceleration, in response to not detecting that the parking brake switch is turned on and determining that the driver is incapacitated, and a third deceleration which is smaller than the first deceleration, in response to determining that an SOS switch is turned on, detecting that the parking brake switch is changed from on to off, and not determining that the driver is incapacitated.

Abstract: A fish bleeding method includes an insertion step of inserting a tubular device, which is a member in a tubular shape, into a blood vessel system of a fish, and an injection step of injecting an injection liquid, which is a liquid containing fine bubbles, into the blood vessel system of the fish through the tubular device that is inserted in the insertion step.

Abstract: Massage mechanisms of a massage machine individually include a pair of left and right treatment members provided along a height direction of the massage machine. A first massage mechanism is disposed on a relatively upper side, and a second massage mechanism is disposed on a relatively lower side. A control means that controls operations of the first and second massage mechanisms. The control means controls advancing/retreating drive portions such that the treatment members of the first massage mechanism and the treatment members of the second massage mechanism advance or retreat at speeds different from each other such as with a time lag.

Abstract: Provided is a massage machine capable of performing a rubbing operation and a pressing operation separately on different areas of the back surface of a body part of a person to be treated while performing the rubbing operation on the side surface of the body part. Specifically provided is a massage machine (M1 (M2)) provided with a rubbing unit (1) comprising a pair of rubbing parts (2, 2) for applying a rubbing massage to a body part of a person to be treated and a rubbing driving part (3) for driving the rubbing parts (2). The rubbing parts (2) comprise a pair of first rubbing parts (12, 12) disposed on both sides of the body part and reciprocating in the direction along the side surface of the body part, and a pair of second rubbing parts (13, 13) disposed on the back surface of the body part and reciprocating in the direction along the back surface of the body part and in the direction crossing the back surface.
