Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a recognition unit configured to recognize a surrounding condition of a vehicle; a driving control unit configured to control acceleration, deceleration, and steering of the vehicle based on a recognition result; and a vehicle abnormality detection unit configured to detect an abnormality in an electric parking brake device. When an abnormality in the driver is detected during traveling of the vehicle, the driving control unit performs control to decelerate the vehicle to a predetermined speed greater than zero by braking by a brake device. In a case where an abnormality in the electric parking brake device is detected before or at a time the vehicle is decelerated to the predetermined speed, the driving control unit causes the vehicle to perform traveling along a traveling road until the recognition unit recognizes a preceding vehicle after the vehicle is decelerated to the predetermined speed.

Abstract: One mode of the present invention provides a laser power adjustment method for ionization in a laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometer, the laser power adjustment method including: a measurement step (S1) in which intensity information on ions derived from a specific component in a specimen are acquired while changing laser power in n stages (n is 3 or more) for the identical specimen; and a processing step (S2, S6, and S7) in which a slope of a straight line connecting two adjacent plot points on a laser power axis is calculated in a two-axis graph in which a relationship between n ionic intensities obtained by the measurement step or a signal value, which is an SN ratio obtained from the ionic intensities, and laser power is plotted; an index value reflecting a ratio between a forward slope value, which is a slope of a straight line on a front side of the plot point, and a backward slope value, which is a slope of a straight line on a rear side, is obtained for each plot point; and appropriate laser p

Abstract: A display area 60 of a display unit of a mass spectrometer shows a result of tuning. The display area 60 includes: a tuning-item displaying section 62 configured to display all tuning items and a result of whether each tuning item has been tuned; and an analyzable-condition displaying section 63 configured to display a condition under which an analysis is possible based on the result. The tuning items may be displayed respectively and individually. Alternatively, the tuning items may be displayed in a grouped manner with a plurality of tuning items in a group. Consequently, a user knows, at a glance, whether the tuning necessary for an analysis that the user intends to perform has been performed. If a necessary tuning item has not been tuned, the user immediately starts to tune (only) the tuning item. Further, a user immediately knows in a current state of tuning whether the analysis that the user intends to perform is possible. Therefore, when the analysis is possible, the user can start the analysis.

Abstract: In a device (4) for assisting in analytical operations for correctly arranging samples in a plurality of sample-placement portions and implementing multiple protocols in the correct order, a storage section (41) holds sample information and analysis parameters for each protocol as well as the order of implementation. A protocol-selection-input receiver (42) receives an input of the selection of a protocol. A sample-position displayer (43) displays, on a display unit (6), sample information in the selected protocol along with the positions of the sample-placement portions. A protocol-implementation-information collector (45) collects information concerning the state of implementation of the protocols. A determiner (46) determines whether a protocol which must be implemented earlier was already implemented, based on the state of implementation and order of implementation of the protocols.
