The present invention provides a travel control system (1). The travel control system (1) having: an onboard control device (10) installed in a vehicle (2), the onboard control device (10) controlling the traveling of the vehicle (2); and an onboard display device (20) communicably connected with the onboard control device (10), the onboard display device (20) using a screen display and / or audio output to present information to an occupant of the vehicle (2), wherein: the onboard control device (10) acquires external surroundings recognition information recognized by an external surroundings sensor (50) and / or out-of-vehicle communication, determines driving action specifics that should be taken by the vehicle (2) on the basis of the external surroundings recognition information, specifies a driving action factor that is the reason for determining the driving action specifics, and outputs the driving action specifics and the specified driving action factor; and the onboard display device (20) acquires the driving action specifics and the driving action factor outputted by the onboard control device (10) and gives notification of the driving action specifics and the driving action factor by using a screen display and / or audio output, thereby reducing any instability and / or sense of discomfort experienced by the driver and / or occupants due to the automatic travel control of the vehicle (2).

A composition comprising a mixture of fatty acids such as linoleic, oleic and palmitic acids or derivatives thereof derived from secretions of mammalian mammary glands. This composition can be utilized to decrease stress, anxiety and aggressiveness in mammals.

A wearing article includes pants having a supporting sheet extending between front and rear waist regions and a body waste absorbing pad formed in its upper surface with a first opening and releasably attached to the inner side of the pants. The supporting sheet is formed with a slit through which a rear zone of the pad can be inserted. The pad is provided on its upper surface with a joined sheet having a second opening. A front zone and an intermediate zone of the pad are placed on the upper surface of the supporting sheet, the rear zone of the pad is inserted into the slit so as to be interposed between the pants and the supporting sheet, free front and rear zones are fastened to the upper surface of the supporting sheet and thereby the pad is attached to the pants by means of the supporting sheet.

A mammographic method and apparatus are provided for obtaining improved compression of posterior, middle and anterior breast tissue without pushing posterior breast tissue from the imaging volume and with less discomfiture to the patient. An initial compression of the posterior tissue is achieved by vertical, relative displacement of the paddle relative to the bucky assembly to compress the posterior breast tissue therebetween. Less patient discomfiture is achieved by using an inclined compression surface on the paddle or bucky assembly to compress the anterior and middle breast sufficiently for good X-ray imaging without further displacement of the skin adjacent the chest wall. A horizontal force component inclined force will not push the posterior compressed breast tissue from the imaging area. Herein a paddle may have a posterior breast section and have a flexed section which is biased to engage and conform to the breast shape. The flexed section may be releasably held by a lock and then released to apply compression forces to the middle and anterior breast. The flexed section is guided to remain level and to uniformly compress breasts which are not centered thereunder and without binding. The buckey assembly may have a hinged inclined section to compress the middle and anterior portions of the breast. The entire bucky assembly may be hinged to raise the image detector thereon and thereby lessen the heel effect. Alternatively, the bucky cover may be hinged to swing upwardly into an inclined position to compress the middle and anterior breast portions while the image detector is not.

Swimming goggles includes lens assemblies and pad assemblies attached to peripheral frames of the respective lens assemblies. Each of the pad assemblies is formed by a first elastic member made of first elastic material which is relatively stiff and a second elastic member made of second elastic material which is relatively flexible wherein the second elastic member is in close contact with and bonded to the first elastic member in a radial direction of the lens assembly.
