  • Publication number: 20230177704
    Abstract: The positional precision assessment device has a processor configured to estimate a first location of a moving object at a first time based on an image representing road features and positional information, estimate a second location at the first time based on a location of the moving object at the second time and an amount of movement and change in direction from the second time to the first time, input the first and second location into a filter and calculate a current location at the first time, and determine a state of precision of the current location based on a difference between the current location of the moving object and a location estimated based on a location of the moving object at a time prior to the first time and an amount of movement and change in direction from the prior time to the first time.

  • Patent number: 8772925
    Abstract: A bonding structure includes a first member, a second member and a bonding member. The first member has a plate shape and is made of a carbon-base material. The first member serves as a heat diffusion member that transfers heat at least in a thickness direction, which is perpendicular to a plane of the plate shape. The second member is bonded to the first member through the bonding member. The first member has a metal thin film at least on an opposed surface that is opposed to the second member. The bonding member is disposed between the opposed surface of the first member and the second member. The bonding member is provided by a sintered body of metal particle. For example, the bonding structure is employed in a cooling unit including a heat source.

  • Patent number: 8430486
    Abstract: Small and large flat electrodes and between which alternating current voltage is applied are touch on respective outer side surfaces of an ink bag of each of main ink tanks to so as to face each other. Surface area (B) of the large electrode is set equal to a surface area of the largest outer side surface of the main ink tank, for example, so as to be much different from surface area (A) of the small electrode. The surface area (A) of the small electrode is set to about one tenth of the surface area (B).
