A cutoff device includes a conductor wire, a pyrotechnic circuit breaker, a plurality of drive circuits connected to the pyrotechnic circuit breaker in parallel and configured to activate the pyrotechnic circuit breaker, and a control circuit. The control circuit sets an output current value and a period for which the output current is output to each of the drive circuits, and causes the drive circuits to supply the power for activating the pyrotechnic circuit breaker when the pyrotechnic circuit breaker needs to be activated.

A non-limiting example game system includes a processor incorporated within a main body apparatus, and the processor simultaneously controls a player character and a competitive partner character to advance a golf game. The player character is moved, when hitting a ball, toward a next hitting position. During movement, the player character interferes with movement or hitting of the competitive partner character according to an operation of a player. Moreover, when the player character executes a special shot, a shape or a property of a game filed is changed so as to interfere with movement or hitting of the competitive partner character. On the other hand, the competitive partner character interferes with movement or hitting of the player character or another competitive partner character. A victory or defeat of a competition game A is determined based on the time and the number of strokes both required from execution of a tee shot up to a cup-in. That is, a game element is introduced between hitting processing and hitting processing, and the required time affects a victory or defeat of the game.

A driving control device controls driving of a subject vehicle so that front-rear acceleration of the subject vehicle when traveling along a curved route becomes an acceleration upper limit or less. Provided that a merging point exists in a certain section on the downstream side of the curved route, when the distance between the position of the subject vehicle traveling along the curved route and the merging point is a predetermined distance or less, the control device sets the acceleration upper limit to a corrected acceleration upper limit that is higher than a reference acceleration upper limit when the merging point does not exist in the certain section.

Driving control method and driving control device

A non-limiting example game system includes a processor incorporated in a main body apparatus, and the processor makes a first index image move toward an upper end from a lower end in a movement gauge in a parameter determination screen when a player starts a second parameter determination operation. When the first index image is stopped according to an operation of the player, a hitting power for a ball is determined based on the stopped position. Moreover, if the first index image is stopped, a second index image is moved up to a position that the first index image is stopped from the lower end in the movement gauge. The player performs a direction input during a direction input period that is a period of time that the second index image is being moved. Then, a trajectory after the ball starts moving is changed in a direction based on the direction input. For example, when a parabola that becomes a reference when hitting the ball is used as a reference trajectory, and this reference trajectory is changed based on the direction input.

Storage medium, game apparatus and game control method

A non-limiting example game system includes a processor incorporated in a main body apparatus, and the processor makes a player character hit a ball according to an operation of a player. A movement gauge is displayed in a parameter determination screen, and the movement gauge includes a belt-shaped basic area and a risk area outside the basic area. A first index image is moved inside the basic area, and a hitting power is determined at a position that the movement is stopped by an operation of the player. The hitting power affects a flight distance of a ball. After the hitting power is determined, a position of a deviation indication image displayed along the first index image is determined at random. A deviation amount is made larger as the deviation indication image is moved away from the center of the first index image. The risk area is enlarged toward an upper end of the movement gauge. That is, if the flight distance of the ball is made longer, the deviation amount may become larger. The player plays a golf game in consideration of whether the flight distance of the ball is prioritized or the directionality is prioritized.

A travel control method for a vehicle is provided, which includes autonomous steering control for autonomously controlling the steering of the vehicle. The travel control method includes: setting a plurality of cancellation thresholds corresponding to respective travel scenes, the cancellation thresholds being used for canceling the autonomous steering control and transitioning to the driver's manual operation; detecting a travel scene of the vehicle during execution of the autonomous steering control; extracting a cancellation threshold corresponding to the detected travel scene from among the plurality of set cancellation thresholds; and determining, based on the extracted cancellation threshold, whether or not to cancel the autonomous steering control and transition to the driver's manual operation.

Vehicle travel control method and vehicle travel control apparatus

A driving assist method and a driving assist device is provided for controlling a transmission ratio of a continuously variable transmission, which steplessly shifts gears and outputs an engine rotation speed. The driving assist method and a driving assist device continuously performs downshifting until an upshift occurs, when the transmission ratio of the continuously variable transmission is controlled so that the engine rotational speed increases in conjunction with an increase in a vehicle speed and the upshift will be performed after the vehicle has accelerated.
