  • Patent number: 11958494
    Abstract: An acquisition unit acquires pieces of information including information related to a vehicle, information related to the environment inside and outside the vehicle, and information related to a driver on board the vehicle. A determination unit determines priorities of the pieces of information acquired by the acquisition unit on the basis of a service or the like used by the driver among services or the likes provided using information accumulated in a server device. A selection unit selects a piece of information to be transmitted to the server device from among the pieces of information acquired by the acquisition unit on the basis of the priorities determined by the determination unit. A communication unit transmits the piece of information selected by the selection unit to the server device.

  • Patent number: 11922677
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (10) according to the present disclosure includes: an object recognition unit (11) that outputs, by using a first modal signal and a first modal recognition model corresponding to the first modal signal, an inference result regarding the first modal signal; a training data processing unit (12) that generates first modal training data regarding the first modal signal by using the inference result, and updates second modal training data regarding a second modal signal that is different from the first modal signal by using the first modal training data; and a recognition model update unit (13) that updates a second modal recognition model corresponding to the second modal signal by using the second modal training data.

  • Publication number: 20230408785
    Abstract: An optical wiring unit includes a tray, an operating member supported by the tray and that moves in a front-rear direction of the optical wiring unit as a reference to a neutral position, a slide piece including a latch, and one or more springs that bias the operating member toward the neutral position. The slide piece slides with respect to the operating member between a restriction position and a release position. A protrusion amount of the slide piece from the operating member at the release position is smaller than a protrusion amount of the slide piece from the operating member at the restriction position. The slide piece is disposed at the restriction position when the operating member is at the neutral position and slides toward the release position when the operating member moves in the front-rear direction from the neutral position.

  • Publication number: 20230324639
    Abstract: An optical wiring unit includes: a tray that includes a bottom plate; and a lid body that includes a top plate facing the bottom plate in an up-down direction. An accommodating space that accommodates an optical fiber is formed between the bottom plate and the top plate. one of the tray and the lid body includes: an outer wall portion; and an inner wall portion inside the accommodating space with respect to the outer wall portion. The other of the tray and the lid body includes an intermediate wall portion inserted between the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion. The inner wall portion has a dimension in the up-down direction smaller than that of the outer wall portion.

  • Publication number: 20230271621
    Abstract: A driving assistance device includes processing circuitry configured to acquire object detection information indicating a detection result of an object around a vehicle by a sensor mounted on the vehicle, output driving assistance information from the input object detection information by using a learned model for driving assistance to infer the driving assistance information for assisting driving of the vehicle from the object detection information, calculate, as an evaluation value, a degree of influence of the input object detection information on an output of the learned model for driving assistance, and output the driving assistance information on a basis of the object detection information in which the calculated evaluation value is greater than a predetermined threshold among the input object detection information.

  • Publication number: 20230093151
    Abstract: A vehicle-exterior-notification control device includes processing circuitry to detect a person present around a crosswalk present in a traveling direction of a first vehicle on a basis of information output from a surrounding information detecting device to detect information around the first vehicle, to detect whether or not the person has an intention to cross the crosswalk before the first vehicle, a vehicle control unit to execute stop control to stop the first vehicle in a case where it is detected that the person has an intention to cross the crosswalk before the first vehicle, to detect a second vehicle present around the first vehicle on a basis of information output from the surrounding information detecting device, and to issue a vehicle-notification instruction for making a notification to the second vehicle in a case where the stop control is executed.

  • Publication number: 20180365998
    Abstract: In a driving assistance apparatus, a driving condition estimator estimates the condition of a driver in a host vehicle and generates driving condition information. A risk information generator detects risky behavior taken by the driver, and generates risk information in which a risky point at which the risky behavior is detected is associated with driving condition information that is generated by the driving condition estimator in a prescribed zone located back from the risky point in a traveling direction, for recordation of the risk information into a server. A presentation determination unit compares driving condition information generated by the driving condition estimator in the prescribed zone located back in a traveling direction from a risky point of the risk information, with driving condition information included in the risk information received from the server, thereby to determine whether to present the risk information.

  • Patent number: 5184664
    Abstract: A mold for lead casting comprising a porous metal material which does not form an alloy with molten lead and which has a thermal conductivity of from 3-15 kcal/(m.multidot.hr.multidot..degree.C.) and having a percentage of pores having a radius larger than or equal to 40 microns being 7% or less of the total pore volume. The porous metal material has a permeability of at least 0.2 ml/sec.multidot.cm.sup.2 at a material thickness of 10 mm and ambient pressure of 0.02 kg/cm.sup.2. A casting mold enabling casting of a lead grid without using a lubricant due to the lubricity of the mold material itself is realized.
