Abstract: A parking assist device includes a monitor (10) for displaying a captured image from a camera (12), assist information output means for providing assistance during introduction of a vehicle into a parking position, and correction control means (31) for correcting an inappropriate operation performed when the vehicle is introduced into the parking position. When a steering operation, an accelerator operation, or a brake operation is inappropriate, the correction control means (31) performs control to correct the travel course and the stop position. Thus, even if the driver performs an inappropriate operation when introducing the vehicle into the parking position, the driver can appropriately introduce the vehicle into the parking position according to the display on the monitor (10).

Abstract: An aminated oligonucleotide probe is provided, in which the amino group possesses improved reactivity. The present invention relates to an oligonucleotide probe, which is represented by general formula 1: (wherein R1 is a hydrogen atom or a protecting group for an amino group, R2 and R3 are each independently a divalent organic group, and A is an oligonucleotide).

Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring surroundings of a vehicle by displaying images taken by a plurality of cameras provided at the vehicle on a display apparatus provided in a vehicle compartment includes an image processing portion.

Abstract: A parking assist apparatus includes a monitor displaying an image captured by a camera mounted to a vehicle for capturing an image in a moving direction of the vehicle and an assist information output device outputting assist information for assisting a parking operation and displaying the assist information on the monitor, wherein the assist information output device: calculates a locus for guiding the vehicle to a parking position specified on the image displayed on the monitor; sets a target position on the locus for guiding the vehicle to the parking position; outputs guide information corresponding to the target position so as to be displayed on the locus in the image displayed on the monitor; and outputs a navigation mark corresponding to a current position of the vehicle so as to be displayed on the monitor.

Abstract: A soundings monitoring system for a vehicle includes a first camera capturing a fist imaging surface, a second camera capturing a second imaging surface, and a monitor for displaying a first image of the first imaging surface and a second image of the second imaging surface. A standard point is specified relative to the vehicle, the first image and the second image are synthesized and displayed on the monitor so that a coordinate position of the standard point in an expanded imaging surface from the first imaging surface and a coordinate position of the standard point in the second imaging surface match each other, and an imaginary line including the standard point and extending over the first image and the second image is displayed on the monitor in such a manner that the imaginary line is superimposed on the synthesized image of the first image and the second image.

Abstract: An information display apparatus operable in such a case wherein the information for specifying the picture information to be displayed is distributed along with the main display information and wherein the picture information specified is acquired through a path different from the supply path of the main display information. The information display apparatus includes an information extraction unit and a display controller. The information extraction unit extracts, from the main display information, the picture specifying information and the picture information, the main display information and the picture specifying information, while acquiring, from an information source lying in a separate information path of a transmission form different from the form in which the main display information is transmitted, the picture information including the related information corresponding to the picture specifying information.

Abstract: A mass supported on a structure is driven by an actuator such that it moves in a direction of a vibration of the structure. A mechanism for detecting state variables relating to the vibration of the structure and a Kalman filter for performing a predetermined calculation processing on the state variables by comparing with a structure model included therein are provided in order to estimate proper values of state variables. From these state quantifies, control input values are calculated based on an optimal feedback gain matrix preset on the basis of an optimal regulator theory, and applied to control the actuator. With this configuration, the vibration of the mass due to a high-order vibration mode of the structure and the vibration of the mass caused by the compressibility of a hydraulic oil or the response characteristics of a servo valve are efficiently suppressed.

Abstract: A distance measuring method and apparatus accurately detects point in time when reflected slit light passes a cell constituting an imaging plane. Each of the cells constituting the imaging plane includes a pair of photo-sensors disposed side by side along the direction of movement of the reflected slit light. A comparator compares photoelectric currents outputted from the pair of photo-sensors, and a point in time at which the reflected slit light moves from a first one to a second one of the photo-sensors of the cell is determined based on the output of the comparator. The point in time thus detected is determined as a point in time at which the reflected slit light passes the cell and is used for measurement of the distance to the subject for measurement.
