An unmanned aerial vehicle according to the present invention includes a housing mounted on a vehicle and having an inner space, the housing provided with a launching unit, an unmanned aerial vehicle accommodated in the housing and configured to be launched from the housing when a driving state of the vehicle meets a preset condition, wing units mounted to the unmanned aerial vehicle and configured to allow the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle in response to the launch from the housing, an output unit disposed on the unmanned aerial vehicle, and a controller configured to control the wing units to move the unmanned aerial vehicle to a position set based on information related to the driving state when the unmanned aerial vehicle is launched, and control the output unit to output warning information related to the driving state.

A medical image processing device for extracting an endocardium of a left ventricle from 3D image data representing the left ventricle is provided. The device includes: a blood region extracting unit to extract a blood region in the left ventricle from the image data; a convex and concave points identifying unit to find a convex hull from sample points on a contour of the extracted blood region and identify convex points forming the convex hull and concave points, which are sample points other than the convex points; and an endocardium determining unit to deform the contour of the blood region by moving at least a part of the concave points outward from the blood region by an amount determined based on a positional relationship among each concave point and the convex points located around the concave point and determine a deformed contour of the blood region to be the endocardium.

In one example embodiment, a high-speed parallel-data communication approach transfers digital data in parallel from a first module to a second module over a communication channel including a plurality of parallel data-carrying lines and a clock path. The parallel bus lines are arranged in a plurality of groups, each of the groups including a plurality of data-carrying lines and a clock path adapted to carry a clock signal for synchronizing digital data carried from the first module to the second module. The sets of data are concurrently transferred using the groups of lines of the parallel bus, and at the second module and for each group, the transferred digital data is synchronously collected via the clock signal for the group. At the second module, the data collected for each group is aligned. By grouping the bus lines in groups with each group having its own clock domain, skew across clock-domain groups is tolerated and overcome by processing the data and the skew first within each clock domain group, and then between groups.

An object of the present invention is to provide a honeycomb structural body which is low in pressure loss and can prolong a period up to a regenerating process. The present invention is directed to a columnar honeycomb structural body comprising a large number of through holes placed in parallel with one another in a length direction with wall portion interposed therebetween, wherein: each of the through holes has one of ends sealed; one end face of the through hole differs in opening area from the other end face thereof; a ceramic material which constitutes the wall portion has an average pore diameter in a range from 5 to 30 μm; and the rate of capacity of micro pores each having a pore diameter two or more times larger than the average pore diameter is set to 30% or less of the capacity of the entire micro pores.

This device sets, upon executing only a roll-over preventing control, roll-over preventing braking force exerted on a front wheel at the outer side of the turning direction based upon a table value obtained through an absolute value |Gy| of an actual lateral acceleration and a predetermined table, and sets, upon executing only an US restraining control, US restraining braking force exerted on a rear wheel at the inner side of the turning direction based upon a table value obtained through an absolute value |ΔGy| of a lateral acceleration deviation, that is a deviation between a target lateral acceleration and the actual lateral acceleration, and a predetermined table. In case where the roll-over preventing control and the US restraining control are simultaneously executed, the roll-over preventing braking force is similarly set and the US restraining braking force is set based upon a value obtained by multiplying the value based upon the table value by a predetermined US restraining braking force damping factor α (0≦α≦1), thereby giving priority to the roll-over preventing control.

An aid for dining in stand-up and similar situations where a person may simultaneously support a plate and a beverage container by a single hand. The invention comprises a universal food holding receptacle that is stably mountable on upright beverage containers of widely diverse shapes and sizes. The user holds a lower portion of the beverage container in one hand and uses the other hand for other activities such as taking food items from the food holding receptacle that is supported on the beverage container. The food holding receptacle is stably mounted on the beverage container in loose-fitting relationship so that the receptacle can be repeatedly mounted on and demounted from the beverage container in a facile manner while dining. The same food holding receptacle may also be used, after turning upside-down, to stably support beverage containers of diverse shapes and sizes.

A detecting device includes a sensor support body having a pair of arms, and an optical sensor having a combination of a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit disposed on one and the other of the arms, respectively. A control operation section controls a driving section and, with the arms inserted in a cassette, the sensor support body is moved, thereby performing a scanning operation for scanning the substrate by the optical sensor. The scanning operation is set such that a light beam is related to the substrate while vertically moving at a plurality of scanning positions. The control operation section finds out the presence of absence of the substrate and the position of the front end of the substrate within the cassette on the basis of data obtained from the optical sensor during scanning.

This invention provides an aid for dining in stand-up and similar situations where a person must simultaneously support a plate or other such receptacle and a beverage container by a single hand. The invention comprises a universal food holding receptacle that is stably mountable (directly or by means of a connector unit) on upright beverage containers of widely diverse shapes and sizes, taken one beverage container at a time. The user holds a lower portion of the beverage container in one hand and uses the other hand for other activities such as taking food items from the food holding receptacle that is supported on the beverage container. In order to drink from the beverage container the user removes the plate from the beverage container and drinks from the beverage container in the normal way. The food holding receptacle is stably mounted on the beverage container in loose-fitting relationship so that the receptacle can be repeatedly mounted on and demounted from the beverage container in a facile manner. The food holding receptacle of the present invention may also be used to stably support beverage containers of diverse shapes and sizes, taken one beverage container at a time. In this mode of operation, the user grasps the food holding receptacle, with the upright beverage container supported on the receptacle. This leaves the user's other hand free to take food items from the receptacle or for other purposes. In order to drink from the beverage container in this mode of usage the user removes the beverage container from the receptacle and drinks from the beverage container in the normal way.
