Abstract: A blind spot detection control apparatus for a vehicle, configured for judging whether an object detected during a detection cycle in blind spot zone of the vehicle is an alert object, for outputting a result of judgement to a warning which warns a driver of vehicle that an object is present in blind spot zone based on judging that object detected in blind spot zone is an alert object, wherein apparatus is configured to judge whether an object detected in blind spot zone is an alert object by comparing detection parameters relating to a current target object detected in blind spot zone during a current detection cycle with detection parameters relating to a reference moving object corresponding to a target object detected in blind spot zone at least during a previous detection cycle.

Abstract: Plural types of fixed format data for printing on a label tape are previously stored in a ROM in a label printer. The label printer displays a menu for selecting a fixed format on a display section. A user operates a key input section to select a fixed format and then input character data. The input character data is printed on a label tape in accordance with a format based on selected fixed format data. Therefore, the printing apparatus can easily input data and prepare elaborate label tapes.

Abstract: A plurality of types of format data items are stored in a format storage section according to the width of a label tape and the number of lines of print data. A tape width sensing section senses the width of the label tape. A control section senses the number of lines of print data. The control section reads from the format storage section a plurality of formats corresponding to the sensed label tape width and the number of lines of print data sensed, and displays them on a display section. The user selects a suitable one from the plurality of formats displayed. The control section causes a printing section to print the entered data on the label tape according to the selected format.

Abstract: In a data inputting apparatus, marks are represented in a matrix form on a surface of a cylindrical data drum. These marks are constructed of characters/symbols, character ornamentation symbols, and character type designation symbols. The data drum is rotated by manipulating a knob to select a mark row containing a desired mark in correspondence with a data selection window, and also the marks present in this selected mark rows are selected in unit of column by operating column selecting keys, thereby selecting a single desired mark. A selection signal of the desired data corresponding to the above-described desired mark is produced by selecting these row and column of the marks. When this selection signal corresponds to the character/symbol mark, data about this character/symbol mark is read out from a font ROM employed in the data inputting apparatus.
