Publication number: 20240174263Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vehicle control system. The vehicle control system includes an autonomous driving control system that controls autonomous driving of the vehicle, and a safety control system that communicates with the autonomous driving control system and stops the vehicle when the autonomous driving control system fails or when communication is abnormal. The safety control system notifies the autonomous driving control system of the contents of the failure when a failure of a part of the function of the safety control system occurs. The autonomous driving control system sets a traveling route to a destination during the autonomous driving in accordance with the contents of the failure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: May 30, 2024Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Sho HASHIMOTO, Satoshi NAKAMURA, Sei MIYAZAKI, Kazunori NAKANO, Noriaki HASEGAWA

Publication number: 20190189674Abstract: According to an embodiment, a photodetector includes a photo detection layer, light conversion members, and a first member. The photo detection layer includes, on a light incident surface, plural pixel regions and a surrounding region. The pixel region holds a photo detection element to detect the light. The surrounding region is a region other than the pixel regions on the light incident surface. The light conversion members are arranged to oppose the pixel regions in the photo detection layer and convert radiation to the light. Each light conversion member includes a bottom surface opposing the pixel region in the photo detection layer, a top surface opposing the bottom surface, and a lateral surface connecting the bottom and top surfaces. The first member is disposed on a portion of the surrounding region on the light incident surface and covers a portion of the lateral surface of the light conversion member.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2019Publication date: June 20, 2019Applicant: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Yasuharu HOSONO, Kazuhiro SUZUKI, Hitoshi YAGI, Kazunori MIYAZAKI, Go KAWATA, Keita SASAKI, Rei HASEGAWA

Patent number: 9864079Abstract: According to an embodiment, a radiation detection device includes a scintillator layer, a plurality of detectors, a setting unit, an identifier, and a corrector. The scintillator layer is configured to convert radiation into scintillation light. The detectors are arranged along a first surface facing the scintillator layer to detect light. The setting unit is configured to set one of the detectors as a first detector to be corrected. The identifier is configured to identify, out of the detectors, a second detector that detects a synchronization signal synchronizing with a first signal detected by the first detector. The corrector is configured to correct an energy spectrum of light detected by the first detector on the basis of a second signal serving as the synchronization signal in signals detected by the second detector, the first signal, and characteristic X-ray energy of a scintillator raw material constituting the scintillator layer.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2015Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Keiko Fujii, Go Kawata, Yasuharu Hosono, Kazunori Miyazaki, Rei Hasegawa

Publication number: 20070082353Abstract: There is provided a marker selection program for selecting a marker for use in genetic diagnosis. In the program, analysis is carried out by using at least two specimen databases which respectively store data of specimens belonging different populations. By carrying out analysis without integrating all specimen data into single population, information on a minority population can be surely reflected to a gene search. Since the characteristics of each population can be reflected, high-accuracy diagnosing functions can be obtained, providing a practical diagnosing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2006Publication date: April 12, 2007Inventors: Yoshiko Hiraoka, Kazunori Miyazaki, Satoshi Itoh, Michie Hashimoto, Shunji Mishiro
