A hand pattern switch device recognizes a hand pattern from an image of a hand in an image pickup zone and detects a hand motion. One of controlled objects is selected based on the recognized hand pattern and / or hand motion. In accordance with the selected object, a mode of detection of operation information based on hand motion is changed. In a moved distance detecting mode, a moved distance of the hand in the zone is detected as operation information, and in a stop time detecting mode, a stop time of the hand at a stop position to which the hand has been moved in the zone is detected as operation information. The image pickup zone is at a location which is located laterally to a steering wheel and to which a driver can extend his / her arm without changing a driving posture.

The cookie management system and methods of the present solution address issues with rewriting cookie headers by handling cookies in the content layer of HTTP instead of the HTTP transaction layer. The present solution maintains cookie information for a browser via an intermediary and installs the correct cookie parameters in the browser via the HTTP content layer. Instead of using the headers of the HTTP transaction layer which may cause issues due to rewriting, the present solution manages the cookies outside of this layer. This avoids the browser managing the cookies incorrectly. Set cookies headers served from a server in response to client HTTP requests are removed by the intermediary. Cookie information from the headers are stored in a cookie jar on the intermediary. The intermediary delivers instructions and scripts via the content layer of the HTTP response to set the cookie in the browser. The scripts detect browser changes to the cookie and communicates the changes to the intermediary to update the cookie jar. With the present solution, the domain and path names of a cookie are set correctly on the browser when delivering content via a reverse proxy.

At a writing time, a first transistor 412 is turned on so that a data signal Xj is supplied to one end of a capacitor 420. At this time, since a second transistor 414 is turned off, driving current does not flow to an organic light emitting diode (OLED) device 430. A power supply voltage Vdd is supplied to the other end of a capacitor through a power supply line L. However, since the driving current does not flow at the writing time, the power supply voltage Vdd is not reduced by the wiring line resistance of the power supply line L. On the other hand, at an emission time, the first transistor 412 is turned off and the second transistor 414 is turned on. Therefore, the driving current is supplied to the OLED device 430.

A fuse is melted and cut off when an overcurrent flows through the fuse. The fuse has a different thermal expansion coefficient metal laminate obtained by laminating a plurality of different thermal expansion coefficient metal plates. When the fuse is melted and cut off by heat of the overcurrent, a mechanical deforming force is applied to a melting portion of the fuse. The mechanical force is caused by the difference between thermal expansion coefficients of the different thermal expansion coefficient metal plates.

An automobile navigating apparatus capable of setting a detour for a route to a desired destination. A memory device stores link information about links that constitute a map. Based on the link information, a route calculating section sets a route running from a start point to a desired destination by using evaluation values assigned to the links. The route thus set is shown on a display device in a highlighted manner. At the same time, directions to the desired destination along the route are instructed verbally. When a detour switch is operated, a detour for the route is calculated by a detour calculating section. In the detour calculation, the detour calculating section lowers the evaluation value for the link concerned along the previously set route to prevent the same from being set again.

To predict the service life of a construction machine more accurately, and to make it possible to draw up an appropriate overhaul implementation plan at an early stage.A first service life prediction unit 311 predicts the service lives of main components such as an engine and the like, based upon their actual wear states. And a second service life prediction unit 312 predicts the service lives of the same components, based upon their cumulative load amounts. An order setting unit 320 selects the ones of these two predicted service lives which are the shorter, and sets a priority order for overhaul in order of shortness of predicted service life. An overhaul schedule table generation unit 330 creates a schedule table D1 based upon this priority order. The contents of this schedule table D1 are decided upon by a judgment unit 340, and, if necessary, are corrected by a correction unit 341. And a plan creation unit 350 creates an overhaul implementation plan document D2 and the like, based upon the corrected schedule table D1a. The result of the overhaul task and the present states of components are tested, and these test results are reflected by the service life prediction units 311 and 312.

The parameter sets of cells may be represented as vectors in an n-dimensional space.

An affinity generation system according to the present invention analyzes a profiled user's authorship and document usage within an ‘intranet’ to create a set of affinities between documents and topical classifications used in a hierarchical content catalog. These affinities are weighted depending on the system usage and amount of collected evidence. Once a certain threshold has been reached, the threshold being fixed or dynamically set to achieve a desired policy, the affinities are published into the content catalog. The user looking for specific expertise can then search or browse the content catalog and find both documents and people with strong affinities to the selected content area.

In an automatic stop device that automatically stops the operation of an internal combustion engine after a predetermined automatic stop condition is satisfied, a load acting on the engine is removed when the automatic stop condition is satisfied. When the automatic stop condition is satisfied, the between the magnitude of the load on the internal combustion engine before and after of the automatic stop condition is satisfied is determined, and an ignition timing retard amount of an ignition plug is decided such that the retard amount is increased as the difference becomes greater. The ignition timing is retarded by the retard amount substantially at the same moment as the load removing operation before the automatic stop control is initiated.
