Abstract: According to one implementation, an image processing apparatus includes the following. A setting unit sets a point in an irradiating field region of a radiation image as a reference point. A candidate point extracting unit extracts irradiating field edge candidate points based on the set reference point. A straight line candidate extracting unit extracts straight line candidates of the irradiating field edge based on the extracted irradiating field edge candidate points. A judging unit performs correct/incorrect judgment of the extracted straight line candidates. A recognizing unit recognizes the irradiating field region based on the straight line candidates judged to be correct. The judging unit calculates an evaluating value of the straight line candidates as the irradiating field edge. The judging unit performs correct/incorrect judgment of the straight line candidates based on the calculated evaluating value.

Abstract: A controller controls an air-conditioning device so that air of the air-conditioning device is supplied to a cabin based on a warm-up state of air of the air-conditioning device. When remote air conditioning is performed, the controller controls the air-conditioning device so that air of the air-conditioning device is supplied to the cabin even in a state where the warm-up state is lower than in a case where air of the air-conditioning device is supplied to the cabin of the vehicle in the operation air conditioning. In a manner described above, a vehicle capable of suppressing power loss and lengthening of charging time in heating during the remote air conditioning and the preliminary air conditioning is provided.

Abstract: When an A/C switch is ON and a predetermined dehumidification condition is met, an ECU determines whether or not HV travel is selected. When the HV travel is selected, the ECU controls an air conditioning facility so that a heat pump cycle performs a cooling operation (dehumidification) and hot-water heating is used for the heating capability. When the EV travel is selected, the ECU controls the air conditioning facility so that the heat pump cycle performs dehumidification heating.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an air conditioning apparatus for heating inside of a passenger compartment using electric power of an external power supply or of the vehicle, the apparatus being configured to be capable of executing a foot mode to blow air toward feet and a moisture prevention mode to blow air also through a defroster unit while the foot mode is selected, and a control unit that causes the air conditioning apparatus to execute remote air conditioning in which air conditioning is performed while a user is not in the vehicle, and operated air conditioning in which air conditioning is performed by the user's operation while the user is in the vehicle. The control unit limits the execution of the moisture prevention mode in the remote air conditioning more than the execution of the moisture prevention mode in the operated air conditioning.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an air conditioning apparatus configured to be capable of executing ventilation operation to supply air outside the vehicle into a passenger compartment, and cooling operation to supply cool air into the passenger compartment; and a control unit that causes the air conditioning apparatus to execute remote air conditioning in which air conditioning is performed while a user is not in the vehicle, and operated air conditioning in which air conditioning is performed by the user's operation while the user is in the vehicle. The control unit controls the air conditioning apparatus such that a condition in which the ventilation operation is executed in the remote air conditioning is more relaxed than a condition in which the ventilation operation is executed in the operated air conditioning. In this way, power consumption by pre-air conditioning can be reduced.

Abstract: A rotation clamping mechanism includes a rotating member and at least two engagement members that are attached to the rotating member and transmit rotational power. The engagement members engage a rotated object placed in a predetermined positional relationship with the engagement members. The rotated object is rotated by rotating the rotating member. The engagement members are supported on the rotating member so as to swing to an engagement position where power is transmitted to the rotated object and to a release position where engagement is released. The rotation clamping mechanism further includes: an opening/closing mechanism that moves the engagement members between the engagement position and the release position; and a biasing member that biases the engagement members toward the engagement position. At the engagement position, the engagement members clamp the rotated object in a floating state with the engagement members pressed onto the rotated object by the biasing member.
