An array antenna having multiple elements transmits and receives electromagnetic waves via the elements. The array antenna has an electromagnetic wave control unit that inclines direction of transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves in at least a first direction by emitting electromagnetic waves of mutually different amplitudes or phases at the elements. The array antenna has multiple element columns having two or more N elements aligned at a prescribed interval din a second direction substantially orthogonal to first direction. The element columns are configured as subarrays. The elements are arranged with a prescribed interval dtherebetween in the first direction to form element rows, and the element columns are disposed offset in first direction by approximately d/2 from elements or element columns adjacent thereto in second direction. The element column in the outermost element row has more elements than any other element column in the element row other than the outermost element row.

An alkaline water electrolyzer includes at least two outer frames, a gasket, and a diaphragm. The at least two outer frames are stacked so as to overlap at least in part in a circumferential direction. The gasket is sandwiched between the two outer frames. The gasket can be in contact with the outer frames over the entire circumferential direction. In an inner peripheral surface of the gasket, a slit is formed along the circumferential direction. The gasket has a first protrusion portion. The first protrusion portion protrudes over the entire circumferential direction at a position overlapping the slit when viewed from a thickness direction of the slit. A diaphragm is caught in the slit of the gasket. A volume ratio of volume of the first protrusion portion, to volume between a bottom of the slit and an end of the diaphragm, is between 0.5 and 100 inclusive.

In order to dynamically vary a pacing threshold and perform pacing control such that there is no bias in the stress applied to a user, a statistical information processing means: acquires statistical information of a mid-communication disconnect in which a user terminal disconnects in the midst of communications, in respect to communications according to an application protocol; calculates a degree of user dissatisfaction for each application protocol on the basis of the statistical information; and manages, for each application protocol, a pacing threshold corresponding to the degree of user dissatisfaction. A call processing means determines a pacing threshold for each application protocol such that communication traffic to a user terminal does not exceed a prescribed band upper limit and the degree of user dissatisfaction of each application protocol is the same, and executes pacing processing such that the communication traffic of each application protocol is below the determined pacing threshold.

A leadership support system includes a leader terminal and plural member terminals. The member terminals, according to either the relay of communication information not addressed thereto or the reception of communication information addressed thereto, send back a response to the appropriate communication information. The leader terminal determines, based on the times of relaying the communication information, whether or not the member terminal that transmitted the communication information is in danger of isolation. When the leader terminal determines the member terminal in danger of isolation, it outputs a warning signal indicative of a ranger of isolation to that member terminal.

A navigation device performs a route guidance based on a route from a current location to a destination, the navigation device being connected to a server for searching the route. A navigation method for the navigation device includes sending a request for searching the route to the server and receiving information on the route from the server. The method also includes measuring an elapsed time from a start of the route guidance, and performing the route guidance based on the information received. The method further includes cutting off a communication with the server and coming into a standby state, upon a determination that the elapsed time measured has reached a predetermined time and when the route is being guided or a current location is being checked, to decrease a bandwidth usage between the navigation device and the server and to reduce a communication charge associated with the bandwidth usage.
