  • Patent number: 11977146
    Abstract: To provide a radar device capable of detecting a position of a target in a direction orthogonal to a viewing angle. In a radar device which detects a target by using a radio wave, the radar device includes: a receiving array antenna (receiving array antenna 17) where a plurality of receiving antenna elements (first receiving antenna 17-1 to eighth receiving antenna 17-8) each having a predetermined length in a first direction are arranged to be disposed in a second direction almost orthogonal to the first direction; a dispersion part (dispersion part 31) which is disposed in a vicinity of the receiving array antenna, and dispersion properties of the radio wave change with respect to the first direction; and a detection part (control and process part 15) which detects the position of the target in the first direction based on the radio wave reflected by the dispersion part.

  • Patent number: 5735435
    Abstract: A fuel dispenser with a seismic vibration perception function includes a pump motor, a fuel feeding pump, a flow volume measuring member, a nozzle switch and a fueling control member. The fuel-feeding pump is driven by the pump motor. The flow volume measuring member measures the amount of fed fuel and outputs a flow volume pulse signal. The nozzle switch transmits a nozzle-unhooked signal and a nozzle-hooked signal. The fueling control member causes the pump motor to be "on" and "off" by receiving the nozzle-unhooked and the nozzle-hooked signal respectively and counting the flow volume of fuel by receiving the flow volume pulse signal. The fueling control member contains a seismic vibration perception member for perceiving vibration and transmitting a seismic vibration perception signal for suspending electric supply to the pump motor.

  • Patent number: 4750130
    Abstract: Fuel delivery display and control system having a dot-matrix panel on which normally a first message is indicated but when a nozzle is taken up for fuel delivery, the first message is replaced with a second message with scrolling for confirmation of no faults in the display elements whereupon the panel displays delivery information consisting of a unit volume price, a delivered fuel volume and a total price to be paid. If necessary, in advance of taking up the nozzle, a switch can be manually actuated so that the delivered fuel volume only is indicated on the panel.
