IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 2022-04-11
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a program, a method and an information processing device that evaluate a driver in order to prompt the growth of the driver. 
     SOLUTION: A method relates to a program that operates a computer which provides a service for matching a shipper who requests the delivery of a parcel with a driver who is in charge of delivery of the parcel. The method includes the steps of: presenting, to each driver, information on the parcel that the shipper requests to deliver; recording the achievement that the driver has delivered on the basis of the request for delivery; identifying a history for the delivery with a specific delivery condition on the basis of the delivery achievement by the driver; and determining a first evaluation parameter in the matching service with the driver on the basis of the identified result.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: a compound which can provide a liquid crystal composition that has high T ni , large Δn, low V th , large Δε r , and small tanδ iso , while having good preservability at low temperatures; the liquid crystal composition; and a liquid crystal display element, a sensor, a liquid crystal lens, an optical communication device and an antenna, each of which uses the liquid crystal composition. 
     SOLUTION: A liquid crystal composition comprises a compound which is represented by general formula (i) having an ethynylene group (-C≡C-) and an isothiocyanate group (-NCS). In the formula, R i1  represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C1-20 alkyl group, or the like; A i1  to A i3  each represent a 1,4-cyclohexylene group, a 1,4-phenylene group, or the like; and Z i1  represents a single bond, a C1-20 alkylene group, or the like.

Title: Image light reflection unit
IPC: G02B7/00
Filed: 2022-11-25
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a combiner unit (image light reflection unit) that prevents change in appearance of an image superimposed on an outer scenery before and after rotation of a combiner (optical element). 
     SOLUTION: An image light reflection unit comprises: an optical element that reflects, on a reflection surface 210a, light forming an image emitted from a light source 10 to allow a user to visually recognize the image; and an angle adjustment mechanism 220 that rotatably holds the optical element and rotates the optical element around a virtual axis 210b to adjust a tilt angle of the reflection surface with respect to the user. The virtual axis 210b is in contact with the reflection surface 210a at substantially the center of the reflection surface 210a.
