  • Publication number: 20240138282
    Abstract: A management system includes a storage and a processor. While an agricultural machine including an GNSS receiver is traveling, the storage stores GNSS data output from the GNSS receiver and sensing data output from a sensor sensing a surrounding environment of the agricultural machine in association with each other. The processor is configured or programmed to generate and output visualized data, which represents the surrounding environment of the agricultural machine, based on the GNSS data and the sensing data, when reception interference of a satellite signal occurs.

  • Patent number: 10473928
    Abstract: A backlight unit includes a light source; a condensing unit that condenses light emitted from the light source; and a diverging unit that diverges the light entering from the condensing unit and that emits the light toward an image display unit of a light transmission type in a head-up display device. For example, the diverging unit is a lens in which both surfaces of an incident surface into which the light from the condensing unit enters as well as an emission surface from which the light is emitted toward the image display unit, are concave surfaces.
