  • Publication number: 20030090570
    Abstract: A front camera for filming an area stretching forwards is disposed in a front portion of a vehicle. A side camera for filming an area stretching laterally and diagonally forwards is disposed in a lateral-left portion of the vehicle. An indicator display that can be visually recognized by a driver is disposed in a compartment of the vehicle. An amount of change in the direction of the vehicle, that is, a deflection angle of the vehicle is detected on the basis of a vehicle speed and a steering angle of a steering wheel, which have been detected by means of various sensors. After the indicator display has started displaying a lateral photo image filmed by the side camera, the photo image displayed by the indicator display is shifted from the lateral photo image filmed by the side camera to a front photo image filmed by the front camera if the deflection angle has reached a predetermined angle.

  • Patent number: 6562147
    Abstract: A connecting material, which secures reliable joints without using flux, is disclosed. Soldering is performed using an auxiliary connecting material capable of physically destroying and dispersing an oxide film, which is naturally grown on the surface of a main connecting material such as solder or brazing between two terminals, to realize a reliable solder wetting (a state of the main connecting material being fused and mixed). For an auxiliary connecting material, hydrocarbon such as n-tetradecane (C14H30), for example, can be used. N-tetradecane boils between connection surfaces and cubically expands; energy generated therefrom physically disperses the oxide film and causes a fresh surface to be exposed; solders on both terminals are mixed; and an electrical and mechanical joint is securely achieved. The residue of the auxiliary connecting material is an insulating material, and therefore does not need cleaning.

  • Publication number: 20030080877
    Abstract: A back camera image from a back camera mounted on a rear portion of a vehicle body is displayed on a display mounted on the console inside the vehicle cabin when the vehicle is parallel parking. After the vehicle passes a steering direction reversal point in this state, a corner camera image from a corner camera mounted on a corner portion of a front portion of the vehicle body is displayed on the display when the vehicle nears a vehicle parked in front, or, more specifically, when an angle of the vehicle after it has reached the steering direction reversal point has reached a predetermined value. Guidance images may be overlaid upon the camera images during some or all of the parallel parking maneuver.

  • Patent number: 6529791
    Abstract: Candidate locations in which each of the components is to be placed are assumed. Initially, all the cells on a printed circuit board are the candidates. The range of candidates for the location of each component is narrowed down in some way (for example, the farthest cell from a fixed component is excluded from candidates for the location in which a component that directly relates to the fixed component is to be placed). An approximation problem is created from an original placement problem and a solution that optimizes the approximation problem is find. This solution is a feasible solution of the original placement problem as well. The process of narrowing down the candidates and solving the approximation problem is repeated until one candidate (or more than one candidate having an equal evaluation value) is found ultimately to determine the placement of the component.

  • Publication number: 20020076717
    Abstract: A method of detecting nucleic acid fragments in plural samples is performed by the steps of: attaching an electroconductive label to nucleic acid fragments in one sample and attaching a different electroconductive label to nucleic acid fragments in another sample; preparing a mixture of these samples; spotting the mixture on an electroconductive microarray having plural electrodes onto which probe molecules complementary to the nucleic acid fragments are fixed, so that hybridization between the nucleic acid fragments and the probe molecules on the electroconductive microarray can proceed to form hybrid structures; applying to the electrode an electric potential corresponding to the oxidation-reduction potential of the former label and detecting on the electrode an electric current; applying to the electrode an electric potential corresponding to the oxidation-reduction potential of the latter label and detecting on the electrode an electric current; and comparing the electric current detected in the former de

  • Patent number: 6399305
    Abstract: A method of analyzing a nucleic acid fragment sample to judge whether the nucleic acid fragment sample is uncomplementary, partly complementary or complementary to a DNA fragment in its specific base sequence is conducted by the steps of: bringing an aqueous solution of the nucleic acid fragment sample into contact with a DNA chip having an electroconductive substrate and the DNA fragment fixed onto the substrate in the presence of an electrochemical thread intercalator; measuring an electric current flowing from or to the electroconductive substrate along the DNA fragment under application of a potential to the substrate; and comparing the electric current measured above with a referential electric current which is prepared employing a DNA chip equivalent to the above DNA chip, the intercalator, and an aqueous solution of a nucleic acid fragment which is complementary to the DNA fragment of the DNA chip.
