  • Publication number: 20240111393
    Abstract: A vehicle state detection unit detects whether a vehicle including an information apparatus is in motion or stopped. A display control unit displays operation items related to various functions provided by the information apparatus on a display. A function execution unit executes a function corresponding to a selected operation item. An identification unit identifies the frequency of use of each operation item by classifying the items according to whether the vehicle is in motion or stopped. The display control unit further displays on a prescribed menu screen in which some of the operation items are aggregated. On the prescribed menu screen, when the vehicle is in motion, the operation item identified as having a high frequency of use when the vehicle is in motion is displayed, and when the vehicle is stopped, the operation item identified as having a high frequency of use when the vehicle is stopped is displayed.

  • Patent number: 7697745
    Abstract: In an enclosure inspection apparatus 11, when a sealed letter 2 is inputted into a sealed letter loading station A, visual inspecting means 27 and X-ray inspecting means 33 determine thickness of the sealed letter and whether an enclosure in the sealed letter is a predetermined suspected object. The sealed letter not less than a predetermined thickness is rejected in first sorting station D, and the sealed letter which is not thicker than the predetermined thickness and in which the suspected object is not detected is conveyed as it is to second sorting station G. As for the sealed letter which is not thicker than the predetermined thickness and in which the suspected object is detected, after the suspected object in the sealed letter is positioned in a positioning station E, a suspected object inspecting station F determines whether the above-described suspected object is a predetermined object, such as an explosive or a narcotic drug, using a terahertz wave.

  • Patent number: 4719698
    Abstract: An electric shaver comprising a shaver housing comprising a generally rectangular box-like casing and a head casing removably mounted on one end of the box-like casing; a finely perforated stationary shear foil replaceably mounted on the head casing; a reciprocable blade assembly positioned inside the head casing and outside the box-like casing and cooperable with the stationary shear foil to cut bristles entering the head casing through the perforations in the stationary shear foil; an electric drive motor accommodated within the box-like casing and having a drive shaft, said drive shaft having first and second ends opposite to each other and protruding outwards from the motor in opposite directions away from each other; means for connecting the first end of the drive shaft with the blade assembly to permit the blade assembly to undergo oscillation relative to the stationary shear foil; a photoelectric detector comprising a light emitting element and a photoelectric cell for providing an electric output sign
