The present disclosure enhances security of a service of storing baggage in a locker loaded in a vehicle. An information processing apparatus of the present disclosure includes a controller configured to, for baggage stored in a locker loaded in a vehicle, make a notification that confirms unlocking of the locker to a user terminal associated with the baggage, with a locked state of the locker being maintained, when a predetermined event related to unlocking of the locker is detected before a first date and time set in advance. The controller decides whether or not to take out the baggage from the locker based on an answer to the notification from the user terminal.

Provided is an Al-containing hexagonal ferrite magnetic powder which produces an excellent durability-improving effect on a magnetic recording medium, wherein uniform pulverization of the magnetic powder can be easily achieved by dispersion treatment in preparation of a magnetic coating material even in cases where the magnetic powder has a small primary particle size or has a composition which is likely to produce hard secondary particles. The magnetic powder for a magnetic recording medium is an Al-containing hexagonal ferrite magnetic powder having an Al/Fe molar ratio of 0.030 to 0.200, and has a particle size distribution in which the volume ratio of particles having a particle size of 30 μm or more as measured by a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer with a dispersion pressure of 100 kPa is 5.0% or less, and an activation volume Vact of 1800 nmor less.

An image forming apparatus includes: a circulating member that is a part of a transport path that transports a recording medium; a holding member that is fixed to the circulating member, circulates, and holds a leading end portion of the recording medium; an image forming section that forms an image on the recording medium at an image forming position in a circulation path of the circulating member; and a feeding section that feeds out the recording medium to a holding position where the holding member holds the leading end portion of the recording medium. When a circulation velocity Vg is defined as a velocity at which the circulating member circulates the holding member, a transport velocity of the recording medium is reduced from a first transport velocity V, which is higher than the circulation velocity Vg, to a second transport velocity V, which is lower than the first transport velocity V, before the leading end portion of the recording medium enters the holding position.

A hybrid vehicle has an engine (E) that is capable of changing a combustion mode between a stoichiometric combustion mode and a lean combustion mode and a motor/generator (MG) that is capable of performing torque assist by a power running operation and torque absorption by a regenerative operation. As a boundary between a stoichiometric combustion operating region and a lean combustion operating region, a second boundary (L) at a torque decrease has a hysteresis at a low torque side with respect to a first boundary (L) at a torque increase. Upon shift from the stoichiometric combustion operating region to the lean combustion operating region, for delay in increase of an intake-air quantity, decrease in fuel and the torque assist by the motor/generator (MG) are carried out, and an exhaust air-fuel ratio is changed stepwise.

Method and device for controlling hybrid vehicle

A recording-medium feeding device includes a container, a separating mechanism, and a suppressing member. The container accommodates recording media. The separating mechanism includes a driving member, a separating member, and a torque limiter. The driving member comes into contact with and delivers an uppermost recording medium. The separating member separates the recording media one-by-one. When a rotational torque smaller than a predetermined rotational torque is applied to the torque limiter, the torque limiter repels a load of the rotational torque to inhibit rotation of the separating member. When a rotational torque larger than or equal to the predetermined rotational torque is applied to the torque limiter, the torque limiter allows the separating member to be rotationally driven in accordance with the load. The suppressing member suppresses receding movement of the recording media caused by reverse rotation of the separating member when the driving member stops.
