The driving support system detects an object existing around an own vehicle. The driving support system 1 predicts a position of a movement destination of the detected object. The driving support system sets a region having a predetermined width at each of an X coordinate and a Y coordinate as a tracking region to be set for tracking the object, based on an XY coordinate of the position of the predicted movement destination of the object. The driving support system limits the tracking region, based on a tracking exclusion region where objects unsuitable as tracking targets may be detected with high probability. At that time, the driving support system limits the tracking region by excluding the tracking exclusion region from the tracking region.

The present lighter includes two basic components, a housing and a fuel cartridge. The housing may comprise multiple pieces. The fuel cartridge is easy to remove from the housing without the use of any tools. Thus, an empty fuel cartridge can quickly be replaced with a full one by the user. Replacing the fuel cartridge, rather than refilling it, prevents the user from coming into contact with lighter fuel. The housing and the fuel cartridge are each relatively inexpensive to mass produce. Thus, a worn or damaged housing may be removed from the lighter by the user and replaced with a new housing. The disposability and replaceability of the lighter components makes repairs to the lighter quick and inexpensive. All or part of the housing may also be replaced with a housing having a different outward appearance. A user can thus change the appearance of his or her lighter by changing housings, rather than having to purchase multiple lighters. The housing may include surface features, such as bosses, ribs and/or tensioning springs, to tighten a fit of the housing and prevent spontaneous separation. The surface features may also protect the appearance of the housing.

Triboelectric treatment of or addition to a wing tip and an airfoil upper and lower surfaces is selectively done to electrostatically mutually charge the wing tip and the airfoil upper and lower surfaces with the atmospheric air frictionally coming in contact, in order to reduce trailing-edge vorticity and to promote interlayer mixing in the downwash. Electrostatic forces impede air rollup around the wing tip by first pulling the rolling up air from the airfoil lower surface to the wing tip side face, holding, charging and then repelling the rolling up air to the airfoil upper surface. Triboelectric layers with opposite charges, stacked chord-wise or thickness-wise, form flat and rounded wing tips for vorticity and BVI-noise reduction. For similar effects, opposite triboelectric layers, stacked span-wise, form a rounded wing tip. Lining of thick trailing edge of an airfoil is done with a triboelectric beading to reduce trailing-edge vorticity and form drag.
