Abstract: An information processing method by an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with one or more vehicles delivering packages, the information processing method includes acquiring vehicle-related information including the position of each vehicle, the energy charge amount of each vehicle, the travel condition of each vehicle, a temperature, the weight of packages on each vehicle, delivery destination information on the packages on each vehicle, energy charging station information near a delivery route of each vehicle, and/or road congestion information, generating, from the vehicle-related information, plans for delivery routes and/or energy charge timings with the highest energy efficiency, and commanding the one or more vehicles to execute the plans.

Abstract: Provided are an imaging apparatus, an imaging method, and a program capable of accurately and simply controlling a movement sensitivity of an index displayed on a finder monitor to a sensitivity desired by a user by using a touch panel installed on a rear monitor. The imaging apparatus (10) has a finder that includes the finder monitor (13), the touch panel (31) that receives a swipe operation for moving the index, and an image processing unit (24). The image processing unit (24) includes a sensitivity setting unit that sets a first sensitivity for coarsely moving the index by the swipe operation or a second sensitivity for finely moving the index by detecting a contact operation to the touch panel in the swipe operation, and a movement control unit that moves the index on the basis of the swipe operation on the touch panel and the sensitivity set by the sensitivity setting unit.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus configured to determine a tour schedule around a facility, the information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to determine a tour time at a tour spot in the tour schedule, based on biological information on a user who is observing a process performed by equipment at the tour spot in the facility.

Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device in which deterioration of energy loss is suppressed. The semiconductor device includes: a drift layer of a first conductivity type provided between a first main surface and a second main surface of a semiconductor substrate; and a field stop layer of the first conductivity type having an impurity concentration higher than that of the drift layer and provided between the drift layer and the second main surface. A net carrier concentration profile at room temperature of the field stop layer have at least one peak from the second main surface toward the first main surface. A hydrogen atom concentration profile of the field stop layer have at least two peaks from the second main surface toward the first main surface. The hydrogen atom concentration profile has more peaks than the net carrier concentration profile.

Abstract: There is provided an automobile component capable of improving sound absorption performance by damping due to vibration of a thin film as well as reducing weight of the automobile component. An automobile component of the present invention includes a core layer 10 in which tubular cells 20 are arranged in a plurality of rows, and a nonwoven fabric layer 30 on one or both surfaces of the core layer. The cells have closed surfaces 21 and open ends 22 in every other row as cell ends on one surface of the core layer. As cell ends on the other surface of the core layer, the cells have open ends 22 in the rows where the cells have the closed surfaces as cell ends on the one surface, and have closed surfaces 21 in the rows where the cells have the open ends as cell ends on the one surface. The open ends 22 allow the internal space of the cells 20 to be in communication with the outside. A thin resin film layer 40 having a plurality of apertures is provided between the core layer and the nonwoven fabric layer.
