A dialog processing server is configured by including a relay unit which communicates with each of a first information processing terminal and a second information processing terminal, each serving as a portable or vehicle-mounted terminal and including an input/output interface unit with an artificial intelligence provided outside, and a determination unit which determines whether or not a predetermined dialog condition is established, in which between the artificial intelligence with which the first terminal communicates and the artificial intelligence with which the second terminal communicates, dialog contents respectively generated by the artificial intelligences can be transmitted and received when the dialog condition is established.

Dialog processing server, control method for dialog processing server, and terminal

Enabling information provision of appropriate driving coaching and so forth in line with a user as a driver. A terminal device includes a driving information acquiring unit and a biological information acquiring unit functioning as an information acquiring unit that acquires information relating to the emotion, the driving skill, and the physical condition of a rider (user). Furthermore, an arithmetic unit of a server functions as an estimating unit that estimates the emotion, the driving skill, and the physical condition according to acquired information and functions as an information processing unit that carries out information provision to a rider according to the combination of the emotion, the driving skill, and the physical condition that are estimated.

Information providing system

A supercharged engine having an electrically operated water pump for supplying cooling water to an intercooler in a compact layout. The supercharged engine includes a supercharger disposed rearwardly of a cylinder assembly of the engine, a drive pulley mounted on a supercharger drive shaft of the engine, a driven pulley mounted on an input shaft of the supercharger, a drive belt trained around the drive pulley and the driven pulley, an intercooler for cooling supercharging air that is supplied from the supercharger, and an electrically operated water pump for delivering cooling water under pressure to the intercooler. The supercharged engine also includes a belt tensioner for tensioning the drive belt. The electrically operated water pump is disposed on a crankcase which is positioned more closely to the center of the engine across the width thereof in directions along a crankshaft of the engine than the belt tensioner.

Supercharged engine

An internal combustion engine wherein the oil heat radiation amount from an oil chamber can be increased. A crank side oil chamber formed in a crankcase is divided into a first oil chamber and a second oil chamber with first openings for communicating with a transmission side oil chamber formed in a transmission case being provided in the first oil chamber while a second opening for communicating with the second oil chamber is provided in the transmission side oil chamber.

Lubricating structure for an internal combustion engine

A connection structure between a plastic gear and a shaft permits easy phase matching relative to a device mounted on the shaft, and easy meshing of a gear provided on the shaft with another gear. The connection structure includes a plastic gear, a shaft, and a set plate. The plastic gear has a geometric recess which receives the correspondingly-shaped set plate therein. The set plate includes a central shaped opening. The shaft is provided with a mating extension extending from a first end, and which fits within the shaped opening. The mating extension is formed such that the plastic gear may be mounted thereon in a first position wherein the plastic gear is not positioned to interact with a mating gear, and the plastic gear can be slidably moved thereon to a second position such that the plastic gear is positioned to interact with the mating gear.
