  • Publication number: 20150112509
    Abstract: A tracking control apparatus is configured to include a detection unit that detects an object in front of a host vehicle, and a control unit that, when parallel traveling vehicles which travel in parallel with each other in front of the host vehicle are detected by the detection unit and in a case where a distance between the host vehicle and the parallel traveling vehicles is longer than a separate recognition distance by which a plurality of vehicles in the vehicle-width direction can be separately recognized, presumes that there exists a preceding vehicle between the parallel traveling vehicles and controls traveling of the host vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20140018905
    Abstract: A stent to be implanted in a living body is formed substantially as a tube having a form in which plural wavy annular members are arranged adjacent to each other in the axial direction of the stent, with the axially adjacent wavy annular members connected to each other. The stent possesses an outer diameter whose dimension is so set that the stent is insertable into a lumen inside a living body, and is expandable when a force spreading radially from the inside of the tube is applied. The wavy annular member has parallel straight-line portions extending parallel to the axis of the stent before and after the stent expands. The stent has connection portions each connecting ends of the parallel straight-line portions of the adjacent wavy annular members to each other.

  • Patent number: 8449596
    Abstract: A stent has a plurality of wavy annular members arranged adjacently to each other in an axial direction of the stent, with the adjacent wavy annular members connected with each other. Each of the wavy annular members has a plurality of one-end side bent portions each having an apex at one-end side of the stent in an axial direction thereof and a plurality of other-end side bent portions each having an apex at the other-end side of the stent in the axial direction thereof. An apex of each of the one-end side bent portions of each wavy annular member penetrates into a space formed between the adjacent other-end side bent portions of one of the adjacent wavy annular members. An apex of each of the other-end side bent portions of each wavy annular member penetrates into a space formed between the adjacent one-end side bent portions of the other of the adjacent wavy annular members.
