An engine system in which blow-by gas with a specific gravity less than 1 with reference to air is generatable includes a cylinder block. The cylinder block includes a cylinder and a crank chamber which are arranged in an up/down direction, the crank chamber being positioned below the cylinder. An internal peripheral face of the cylinder block has a ventilation port that connects to a ventilation passage that connects an internal space of the crank chamber with an external space out of the cylinder block, and that is open. The ventilation port is placed above a center in the up/down direction in the crank chamber.

Engine system

An engine is an engine provided with a first cylinder row and a second cylinder row. The engine includes: a controller that is placed in an intra-bank area positioned between the first cylinder row and the second cylinder row; and a fuel pipe that is placed below the controller in the intra-bank area and included in a passage of a fuel. Ina plan view from an up and down direction, a joint portion possessed by the fuel pipe is displaced from the controller.

Engine

An engine includes a sacrificial protective pipe subjected to a sacrificial protective coating process, and a metal pipe connected to at least one of two ends of the sacrificial protective pipe. The engine includes a flow path component (an intercooler side cover, a fresh-water cooler side cover) connected to one of two ends of the metal pipe, the one not being connected to the sacrificial protective pipe, and a sacrificial protective material provided to the flow path component.

One drug (solid preparation)of the present invention is a drug for a disease of kidney that contains a silicon fine particle, an aggregate of the silicon fine particles, or a crystal grain of silicon having a hydrogen-generating ability. Hydrogen generated from the silicon fine particle in the drug can contribute to the prevention and/or treatment of the kidney disease.

Drug and production method therefor

An engine includes an engine stop switch for stopping the engine, and a cooling part included in a holding portion or passage of a cooling liquid. The engine stop switch is placed at the cooling part or at a peripheral part of the cooling part.

A loudspeaker device includes: a magnetic circuit that includes a yoke, a magnet, and a top plate; a voice coil body; a diaphragm; and a frame that holds the yoke and the diaphragm. The frame includes a through hole that holds the yoke at a predetermined position with the yoke being inserted into the through hole. The yoke includes a protrusion portion that abuts an outer peripheral surface portion of the frame that defines the through hole, with the magnetic gap being inside the frame.

Loudspeaker device

An information processing apparatus includes a first detector, a textualization device, a second detector, a display device and a display controller. The first detector detects, from audio data in which speech of each person in a group composed of a plurality of persons has been recorded, each utterance made during the speech. The textualization device converts contents of each utterance detected by the first detector into text. The second detector detects predetermined keywords included in each utterance on the basis of text data obtained through textualization by the textualization device. The display controller causes the display device to display the predetermined keywords detected by the second detector.

Information processing apparatus and speech analysis method

A push switch includes: a case including a fixed contact; a movable member, a pushing element, and a support. The movable member includes a movable contact. The movable member is disposed at a location to face the fixed contact and is movable between an ON-position and an OFF-position. The pushing element is disposed at a location to face the movable member and is configured to receive external force to push the movable member. The support has such a property that until a travel distance of the pushing element reaches a first threshold, a load applied from the support to the pushing element increases, and when the travel distance of the pushing element reaches the first threshold, the load applied from the supportto the pushing element decreases.

Push switch

An information processing apparatus as an image forming apparatus includes an utterance period detecting section, a simple response/statement determining section, and an HDD. The utterance period detecting section detects utterance periods of utterances of each person from voice data. The simple response/statement determining section converts the voice data to a text, determines, when the utterance in the detected utterance period falling within a first period contains any predetermined keyword, that the utterance is a simple response, determines the utterance made for a second period longer than the first period to be a statement, and extracts, for each person, a frequent keyword appearing a predetermined number of times or more in the utterances. The HDD stores determination results of the simple response/statement determining section, the utterance periods for the simple responses, and the utterance periods for the statements, together with the frequent keyword.

Information processing apparatus that determines whether utterance of person is simple response or statement

A gate system control device is a gate system control device configured to control a gate system having an exit gate, and includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a controller. The first sensor senses that a passport of a person who is in the gate system is placed on a placement region. The second sensor senses that the person is moving. The controller controls the gate system. When the first sensor senses that the passport is placed on the placement region and the second sensor senses that the person is moving to the exit gate, the controller causes the gate system to execute processing for notifying the person.

Gate system control device and method for controlling gate system

A placement detection system includes: a placement table; an imaging device that images an object placed on the placement table to generate an input image; and a control device. The control device generates a first binarized image for the input image based on a first threshold value and determines whether the object is placed in a predetermined placement orientation. The control device changes a threshold value for a target pixel to a second threshold value higher than the first threshold value when the object is determined to be placed in the predetermined placement orientation, the target pixel being sandwiched between pixels having pixel levels lower than or equal to the first threshold value and has a higher pixel level than the first threshold value in a first region, generates a second binarized image for the target pixel based on the second threshold value, and detects a shape of the object.

Placement detection system

Enteric coated silicon drug and production method therefor

A placement detection system includes: a placement table; an imaging device that images an object placed on the placement table through the placement table to generate an input image; and a control device that receives the input image. The control device identifies a higher-level pixel having a pixel level higher than or equal to a predetermined pixel level in the input image, sets a threshold value of the higher-level pixel, and sets a threshold value of a target pixel other than the higher-level pixel to a lower value than the threshold value of the higher-level pixel in accordance with a distance between the higher-level pixel and the target pixel. The control device binarizes a pixel level of the target pixel in accordance with the threshold value of the target pixel to produce a binarized image and detects a shape of the object by using the binarized image.
