The distribution information generation unit (112) generates distribution information indicating a relationship between the travel speed and the engine rotation speed on the basis of the driving information. The reference table generation unit (113) groups the distribution information according to gear stage and generates a reference table indicating a relationship between the gear stage and the engine rotation speed of the vehicle at certain travel speeds on the basis of the grouped information. On the basis of the reference table, the gear stage determination unit (114) determines whether the gear stage included in the driving information is appropriate.

Abstract

The method for manufacturing a plate glass is a method for manufacturing the plate glass having sides of at least 30 cm or more and a surface thereof on which a predetermined shape is formed. In the manufacturing method, the flat plate glass is heated to a temperature which is lower than a softening point and at which the heated flat plate glass is deformable by being pressed at a predetermined pressure or higher, the heated flat glass, which has been molded by pressing the flat plate glass with a die having a die structure for forming the predetermined shape, is cooled to the strain point while being held with the die. Further, in the manufacturing method, the pressing is performed with the die having a coefficient of thermal expansion whose difference from that of the plate glass is 2.0×10−6/K or less.

Abstract

A pivot window includes a laminated body capable of rotating in a state where a first plate material is directed outdoors and in a state where a second plate material is directed outdoors. The laminated body uses at least one of solar heat, atmospheric heat, and atmospheric humidity, and provides a humidity control effect to the room in both of the state where the first plate material is directed outdoors and the state where the second plate material is directed outdoors. The laminated body is not limited to the one providing the humidity control effect, but may be the one providing a temperature control effect. The laminated body may use the concentration of a specific gas in the atmosphere such as atmospheric oxygen concentration, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, and atmospheric volatile organic compound (VOC) concentration, and may provide a component concentration adjusting effect to the room.

Abstract

Provided is a heat exchanger such that a heat exchange surface can be wet widely while supplying a small amount of liquid to a glass plate. The hydrophilic coating layer laminated on the glass plate (21) has uneven portions, and thus it is possible to widely wet the heat exchange surface even with a small amount of liquid, as compared with a configuration in which the coating layer is simply provided. Furthermore, by forming the uneven portions on the coating layer instead of the glass plate (21) itself, the influence on the glass plate (21) can be reduced, the degree of freedom in forming the uneven portions is increased, and the heat exchange surface can be easily wet widely.

Abstract

According to the present invention, an outer wall material (1) is provided with: two pieces of plate material (10); and slopes (30) having a circulation structure in which a reservoir (Res) for a refrigerant (HF) is formed on the side of one piece of plate material (10a) among the two pieces of plate material (10), the refrigerant (HF) that is inside the reservoir (Res) and evaporates due to the heat on the side of the one piece of plate material (10a) arrives at the side of the other piece of plate material (10b), and the refrigerant (HF) that condenses on the side of the other piece of plate material (10b) is returned to the reservoir (Res). In addition, the outer wall material (1) is provided with a latent heat storage material (PCM). When the temperature on the side of the one piece of plate material (10a) is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the latent heat storage material (PCM) is in a dissolved state, thus permitting the circulation of the refrigerant. When the temperature on the side of the one piece of plate material (10a) is less than a specific temperature equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature, the latent heat storage material (PCM) is in a solidified state, thus restricting the circulation of the refrigerant.

On the basis of at least the acceleration applied to the vehicle in the vehicle width direction and the travel speed of the vehicle, an office PC (40) calculates the radius of curvature (r), specifies whether or not a turn was made at an intersection on the basis of the calculated radius of curvature, and specifies the time that the vehicle started turning at the intersection. The result of performing statistical processing is evaluated. A list is shown which enables comparison with an evaluation standard value, or comparison of trends or individual differences between multiple drivers.

Abstract

Provided is a vehicle information management server (10), which, on the basis of information which indicates travel times in which a vehicle travels or how often a vehicle travels, among travel record information which is recorded with a vehicle-mounted device (21), computes such rates as a usage rate and an operation rate at which the vehicle is being operated. In accordance with a request from a user terminal (30) which is connected with a communication circuit, the vehicle information management server (10) identifies a vehicle on the basis of an operation mode or an inputted search instruction, and transmits such rate information for the identified vehicle as the usage rate and operation rate. It is possible to designate such search conditions as differences in vehicle types, user occupations, or differences in transported goods, and constrain the search for vehicles of interest. Images are transmitted such as graphs or maps in which the rate information is reflected.

Abstract

Images captured by a main vehicle-mounted camera 31 are processed to recognize the position of each marking line of travel lanes marked on the road, and detects, and records together with the time, the distance (A1, A2) from the left and right ends of the vehicle to each marking line. Furthermore, information representing the presence or absence of operations of a direction indicator is also recorded together with the time. When analyzing the recorded data, for each lane change event, after detecting the lane change start time (t00) on the basis of the distance (A1, A2), data is searched in the direction going back in time from the position of the lane change start time to specify the operation start time (t01) of the direction indicator. The result obtained from further statistical processing evaluating the time difference between the two times (t00-t01) is outputted as the evaluation result. A list is shown which enables comparison with an evaluation standard value, or comparison of trends or individual differences between multiple drivers.

Disclosed is a shield wire for a wiring harness improving workability for wiring, and a method of the shield wire for a wiring harness. Forming of a shield part by winding a strip-like shield member outside of an electric wire allows work for inserting the electric wire into the shield part to be omitted, which improves workability for wiring. Forming of overlap portion where the shield part overlaps with each other in a radial direction allows the electric wire not to be exposed even if the shield electric wire for a wiring harness is bent, which prevents leak or penetration of electromagnetic wave.
