  • Patent number: 11958494
    Abstract: An acquisition unit acquires pieces of information including information related to a vehicle, information related to the environment inside and outside the vehicle, and information related to a driver on board the vehicle. A determination unit determines priorities of the pieces of information acquired by the acquisition unit on the basis of a service or the like used by the driver among services or the likes provided using information accumulated in a server device. A selection unit selects a piece of information to be transmitted to the server device from among the pieces of information acquired by the acquisition unit on the basis of the priorities determined by the determination unit. A communication unit transmits the piece of information selected by the selection unit to the server device.

  • Patent number: 10746629
    Abstract: An inspection device of an optical fiber unit, including a plurality of binding materials wound in an SZ shape on a plurality of optical fibers, includes: a measurement sensor that measures a width of the optical fiber units in a first direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction in which the optical fiber unit extends; and a determination circuit that determines a presence or an absence of an abnormality in a binding state, based on a measurement result of the measurement sensor.

  • Publication number: 20180011181
    Abstract: A radar system includes a radar transceiver device, which includes a transmitter front end circuit for transmitting a chirp signal towards an object. The radar transceiver device includes a receiver front end circuit for receiving the reflected chirp signal from the object. The radar transceiver device includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) to generate a transmitted chirp signal. The radar transceiver device includes a mixer configured to generate four intermediate frequency output signals having different phases. The radar system includes a controller device, which includes a processor, and a memory for storing the intermediate frequency output signals and instructions for executing in the processor. The instructions cause the processor to generate a complex Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) result by performing a FFT of the intermediate frequency output signals while using zero-padding.
