Abstract: A control unit performs a lane departure suppression control when a host vehicle is about to depart from a traveling lane. The control unit determines whether a low impact collision has occurred. The control unit performs a secondary collision damage mitigation control when the low impact collision is determined to have occurred while the lane departure suppression control is being performed.

Abstract: Provided are a prepreg and an epoxy resin composition that can shorten the combustion time of a molded article. The present invention comprises a prepreg which is formed by impregnating a carbon fiber base material with an epoxy resin composition, wherein the epoxy resin composition comprises component (A): an organic phosphinate metal salt, component (B): an epoxy resin having an oxazolidone structure, and component (C): an imidazole compound or an imidazole compound derivative, and may comprise component (D) a urea compound.

Abstract: A control unit determines whether a rapid acceleration pedal depression operation has been performed. The control unit determines whether a low impact collision has occurred. When it is determined that the rapid acceleration pedal depression operation has been performed and the low impact collision has occurred, the control unit executes a secondary collision damage mitigation control. Consequently, the secondary collision damage mitigation control can be appropriately executed even when a collision that does not cause an air bag to be inflated has occurred.

Abstract: A driving assist apparatus comprises a driver monitor sensor which detects a state of a driver of an own vehicle installed with the driving assist apparatus. The apparatus determines whether the driver is in a drowsy state, based on the state of the driver detected by the driver monitor sensor. The apparatus determines that a light collision occurs when a light collision determination condition that at least one collision index value representing a level of a collision of the own vehicle is larger than a light collision determination threshold at which an airbag is not developed, is satisfied. The apparatus executes a secondary collision damage mitigation control to apply a braking force to the own vehicle or limit a driving force applied to the own vehicle when determining that the driver is in the drowsy state, and the light collision occurs.

Abstract: As a novel, agricultural or horticultural granular composition having a low foamability and comprising a granular wettable powder, that is, water-dispersible granules which can have an improved disintegrability in water, an improved dispersibility in water and an improved suspensibility in water, irrespective of the nature and the property of the agrochemically active ingredient as incorporated, there is provided an agricultural or horticultural granular composition comprising as the essential components, (a) at least one of an agrochemically active ingredient, (b) at least one of a surfactant selected from a sulfonate-type surfactant, a sulfate-type surfactant and a phosphate-type surfactant, and (c) at least one of a metal salt of a fatty acid of 6 to 28 carbon atoms. An aqueous dispersion which may be prepared by diluting the composition of the present invention with water has a low foamability.

Abstract: A granulation composition having the granulation properties improved without being affected by the content, type or nature of a pesticidal active ingredient, and a process for its production, are provided. A granular composition which comprises a pesticidal active ingredient and a highly pure quartz powder as essential components and which is obtained by an extrusion granulation method. A process for producing the granular composition, which comprises blending a pesticidal active ingredient and a highly pure quartz powder as essential components, and granulation by an extrusion granulation method. As compared with conventional ones, the granulation properties can be improved without being affected by the content, type and nature of the pesticidal active ingredient or the prescribed grain diameter of the granular composition.
