  • Patent number: 11092805
    Abstract: A vehicular display device is used in a vehicle and displays an image received from a drawing device. The vehicular display device includes an image display unit, a notification unit, an image notification determination unit, a drawing request unit, a correspondence identification unit, and a notification execution unit. The image display unit executes notification by displaying the image. The notification unit executes notification by at least one of audio and light. The image notification determination unit determines whether the vehicle is in an image notification state. The drawing request unit requests the drawing device to draw the image corresponding to the image notification state. The correspondence identification unit identifies the correspondence notification action. The notification execution unit causes the notification unit to execute the correspondence notification action.

  • Patent number: 8340624
    Abstract: A LIN receiver includes a voltage divider that divides an input voltage and outputs the divided voltage, and a peak hold circuit that outputs a peak voltage of the input voltage. The LIN receiver is configured to generate a threshold voltage to be used for determining a voltage signal of a communication bus. The threshold voltage is generated from a voltage signal of the communication bus such that the peak value of the voltage signal (i.e., equivalent to a battery voltage) is held by the peak hold circuit and divided by the voltage divider. Although the communication bus is connected to an on-vehicle battery of which voltage varies with time, by using the voltage signal of the communication bus, a 5V system ECU can generate a threshold voltage which varies responding to the variation of the battery voltage. Hence, the voltage signal can be determined correctly as either high or low level.

  • Patent number: 5204913
    Abstract: Disclosed is a pattern recognition apparatus in which a piece of cloth having a pattern is photographed by a camera, the resultant pixel data are stored in an image memory, the pixel data are sequentially read out along a plurality of predetermined angles, and the pattern is recognized on the basis of an addition value or a variance value in respect of the pixel data. Also provided is an apparatus for correcting the position of each piece of cloth on the basis of the result of the pattern recognition and for holding the corrected cloth in a piled state.
