A vehicle loads at least one of a plurality of upper units having space to store a person or an object on an under unit including a drive mechanism that rotates wheels in the vehicle. The vehicle includes an under unit including a drive mechanism that rotates wheels and the at least one of the plurality of upper units loaded on the under unit. The under unit includes a loading unit, on which the at least one of the plurality of upper units as described above can be loaded. Each of the plurality of upper units includes a joint that joins to a different upper unit that is adjacently loaded.

Vehicle, upper unit, and control device

The present disclosure makes it possible to freely exchange interior of a vehicle. An interior unit according to the present disclosure is provided with: a frame portion attachable to and detachable from a vehicle; and interior parts installed on the frame portion. The frame portion is foldable, or extendable and contractible.

Interior unit, vehicle and control method

A vehicle comprises an under unit which is equipped with a driving mechanism configured to rotate wheels of the vehicle, and an upper unit which is mounted on the under unit. The upper unit comprises an extension/contraction mechanism which is configured to extend or contract the upper unit according to a size of the under unit.

Vehicle, upper unit and non-transitory storage medium

The present disclosure provides a technique that enables customization of a vehicle. In an information processing apparatus, a controller presents vehicle units extracted from among a plurality of types of under units each of which is provided with a driving mechanism configured to cause wheels to rotate and a plurality of types of upper units to be loaded on any of the under units to a user, the vehicle units being combinable as a vehicle. Furthermore, the controller executes: accepting selection by a user from among the presented vehicle units; and calculating a fee in the case of providing the selected vehicle units.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system and information processing method

An information processing apparatus is provided with a controller comprising at least one processor configured to perform: obtaining route information indicating an operation route of a vehicle utilized by unspecified users; and obtaining desired location information indicating desired locations at which the users desire to get on the vehicle or desired locations at which the users desire to get off the vehicle. Then, the controller of the information processing apparatus determines a stop location, at which the vehicle is stopped for the users to get on or off, based on a plurality of pieces of the desired location information and the route information, and presents stop location information indicating the stop location thus determined to the users.

Information processing apparatus, operation management system, and non-transitory storage medium

A method for producing a honeycomb structure is provided, where a body containing a forming formulation composed of a cordierite forming material and an organic binder is formed into a honeycomb shape to prepare a honeycomb shaped article, and the honeycomb shaped article is fired to obtain a honeycomb structure. The forming formulation includes two or more types of magnesium-containing materials containing at least talc, and a magnesium-containing material except talc has an average particle diameter of 4 &#x3bc;m or less.

Method for producing honeycomb structure and honeycomb structure

A method of manufacturing a porous body is provided, including a step of firing a formed honeycomb body including an aluminum source material and a titanium source material to obtain a fired porous honeycomb body containing aluminum titanate as a main component. In this method, 50 mass % or more of particles having particle diameters in a range of 10 to 20 &#x3bc;m are used as the aluminum source material, and the amount of the aluminum source material is such that the amount of an aluminum component in the fired honeycomb body is 48 mass % or more in terms of AlO.

Method of manufacturing porous body

A gas sensor comprising a first measuring chamber for introducing a gas to be measured, a second measuring chamber for detection of the gas to be measured, and as pump cells a first pump cell having a pair of pump electrodes, and a second pump cell having a measuring electrode and an auxiliary pump electrode, wherein a porous alumina sintered body having communicating pores of 500-1100 &#x212b; in average pore diameter and 6-16% in porosity is formed as an electrode protective layer on the surface of at least the measuring electrode of the second pump cell in such a manner that the alumina sintered body covers the measuring electrode. The gas sensor can be use for long period of time because of the protective layer.
