Abstract: A radar apparatus generates a spectrum distribution where frequencies in a beat signal are associated with intensities of respective frequency components. Based on a plurality of spectrum distributions generated over a predetermined number of measurement cycles prescribed in advance, the radar apparatus generates a reflection intensity distribution where frequencies are associated with road surface reflection intensities of the radar wave from a road surface at each frequency. In the reflection intensity distribution, the radar apparatus detects an intensity peak indicating a frequency that maximizes the road surface reflection intensity. Based on the detected intensity peak, the radar apparatus determines at least whether or not the radar apparatus is in an axis deviation state that is taken as a state where a reference axis of the radar apparatus has an inclination of not less than a prescribed angle in a vehicle height direction relative to a horizontal axis prescribed to a vehicle.

Abstract: A target detection apparatus counts the number of reflection points, taking a reflection point of interest as being a target reflection point, for each detected reflection point, the reflection points being present in a target area that is set with reference to the target reflection point and each having a difference in speed from the target reflection point, the difference being not more than a preset identical speed determination threshold, and extracts a parallel-running pair that is a pair of the reflection points that meet preset parallel-running conditions. The target detection apparatus determines that the two reflection points configuring the parallel-running pair originate from an identical target, when a count value is not less than a preset size determination threshold, the count value being of at least either of the two reflection points configuring the extracted parallel-running pair and generates target information reflecting the determination results.

Abstract: In a radar apparatus, whether or not a second target candidate associated with second target information satisfying a first condition in relation to a first target candidate is present is determined. When determined that the second target candidate is present, the first target information corresponding to the first target candidate is compared with the second target information corresponding to the second target candidate. The “first condition” is that distances and relative speeds match. As a result of the comparison, when a difference between the power at a frequency peak corresponding to the subject target candidate and the power at a frequency peak corresponding to the comparison target candidate is greater than a prescribed threshold, the subject target candidate is determined to be a false image. Meanwhile, when determined that the difference is the prescribed threshold or less, the subject target candidate is determined to be a real image.

Abstract: The invention relates to an information processing apparatus which performs mirroring for synchronizing storage contents of a first storage unit and a second storage unit. If mirroring is valid when the information processing apparatus is started, the information processing apparatus detects a storage unit attached to itself. If a detection result indicates that no storage unit has been detected or one storage unit has been detected, the information processing apparatus displays, on a display unit, a connection acknowledgement screen for the storage unit which has not been detected. If the detection result indicates that two storage units have been detected, activation processing is executed for the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of reducing time taken to return to a standby state after turn-off of a power switch in a power saving state. A power supply supplies power to a CPU and a RAM in a standby state, supplies power to the RAM without supplying power to the CPU in a second waiting state caused by turning off the power switch, and supplies power to the RAM without supplying power to the CPU in the power saving state caused without having the power switch turned off when a shift-to-power saving state requirement defined in advance is satisfied. A power supply controller causes the apparatus to shift from the second waiting state to the standby state using a standby memory image. The CPU writes the standby memory image in the RAM for storage in the power saving state.
