Abstract: A reflective mask blank includes a substrate, a multilayered reflection film configured to reflect EUV rays, a protection film configured to protect the multilayered reflection film, and an absorption film configured to absorb the EUV rays in this order. The protection film contains Rh as a main component. The multilayered reflection film includes an uppermost layer that is closest to the protection film in the multilayered reflection film and contains Si and N. In the uppermost layer, an element ratio (N/Si) of N to Si is greater than 0.00 and less than 1.50, and an element ratio (O/Si) of O to Si is 0.00 or greater and less than 0.44.

Abstract: Depending on a degree of color degeneracy of colors of an input image after absolute colorimetric mapping, an information processing apparatus synthesizes an absolute colorimetric mapping table and a perceptual mapping table. The information processing system can acquire a first color profile for performing colorimetric color conversion, a second color profile for performing perceptual color conversion, and a parameter for increasing a distance between colors mapped through gamut mapping, and generate, based on the first color profile and the second color profile and the parameter, a third color profile.

Abstract: A mandate processing device includes: a mandator setting unit, a mandate content setting unit, and a mandatary setting unit, which serve as a first presentation unit that, when a mandate is to be issued from a mandator to a mandatary, presents, as first input candidates, mandate information candidates, which can be determined based on user information of the mandator and the mandatary; a mandate condition setting unit serving as a second presentation unit that presents, as second input candidates, mandate condition candidates, which are the mandate information candidates other than the first input candidates and which are candidates for a mandate condition defined by the mandator as a condition for the mandatary; and a mandate information registration unit that registers mandate information which is information selected from the first input candidates and the second input candidates and for performing the mandate.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus that performs driving assist control on an entrance ramp or an exit ramp connected to a main road having a different safe cruising speed limit than the entrance ramp or the exit ramp. The control apparatus includes a broken line detecting device that detects a broken line marked on the road and divides the main road and the entrance ramp or the exit ramp and a controller that determines a control zone of the driving assist control based on the broken line detection results from the broken line detecting device. For example, the vehicle control apparatus detects the broken line that divides a main road and an exit ramp using the broken line detecting device and starts driving assist control using the controller when it is detected that an accelerator pedal has been released.

Abstract: A deceleration control apparatus for a vehicle including a controller that performs deceleration control based on a first target deceleration set based on a distance to a starting point of an upcoming curve, when the deceleration control for the curve is started at a position distant from the starting point of the curve; and that performs the deceleration control based on a second target deceleration set based on a lateral acceleration that is estimated to be detected when the vehicle passes the starting point of the curve, when the deceleration control for the curve is started at a position close to the starting point of the curve. With this apparatus, it is possible to perform the deceleration control that provides drive assist according to the intention of the driver and that enhances driving convenience for the driver.
