A driver support system includes: an acquisition unit that acquires biometric data of a driver of a moving object; an evaluation unit that evaluates a health condition of the driver; and an interactive response unit that executes an interaction operation for interactive response with the driver using an HMI device mounted on the moving object, the evaluation unit being configured to; when estimating based on the biometric data for the driver that the health condition of the driver is poor, instruct the interactive response unit to execute the interaction operation, thereby acquiring a response input, which is a response of the driver to a response facilitating output that facilitates the driver to respond in the interaction operation; and determine the health condition of the driver based on a degree of suitability of the response input to the response facilitating output.

A method of manufacturing a billet for cold forging according to the present invention is characterized by the first spheroidizing annealing step of spheroidizing a carbide in a blank, the drawing step of drawing the blank at a predetermined sectional area reduction ratio after the first spheroidizing annealing step, and the second spheroidizing annealing step of promoting the dispersion of the internal carbide for an increased spheroidizing ratio after the drawing step. The drawing step has a drawing ratio of approximately 20%. The blank is cut to a desired dimension between said first spheroidizing annealing step and said second spheroidizing annealing step.

Creating a solid (i.e. three dimensional) model with a CAD system, from a two dimensional representation, includes dividing the two dimensional representation into a plurality of shape portions, inputting them into the CAD system, rendering them solid, and then connecting them into the desired solid model. Among the shape portions are those whose cross-sections are substantially uniform. In inputting, the operator of the CAD system need only input line segments of the shape portions in approximately the correct orientation.

A system for detecting deterioration of a three-way catalyst of an internal combustion engine. Cutting-off of the fuel supply to the engine is started when the engine is decelerated with the throttle valve substantially fully closed, and the fuel supply to the engine is resumed when the rotational speed of the engine has become lower than a predetermined value. Time is measured which output from the air-fuel ratio sensor has required to reach a predetermined reference value after the resumption of the fuel supply to the engine. It is determined that the three-way catalyst is deteriorated when the time measured is shorter than a predetermined time period.

Deterioration of an exhaust gas concentration sensor for an internal combustion engine is detected by integrating a difference between an output from the exhaust gas concentration sensor and a predetermined reference value which is outside a range of the output which can be assumed during normal operation of the exhaust gas concentration sensor, comparing a thus obtained integral value with a predetermined deterioration-determining value, and determining from the result of the comparision whether the exhaust gas concentration sensor is deteriorated.

A method of controlling air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to an internal combustion engine in a feedback manner responsive to an output signal from an exhaust gas concentration sensor. The air-fuel ratio of the mixture is controlled to a desired value by means of proportional control and integral control. The proportional control is inhibited, when the value of the output signal has changed from a lean side to a rich side with respect to a predetermined reference value while the engine is operating in one of a predetermined high load condition and a predetermined high rotational speed condition.
