Abstract: A notification device of an approaching vehicle detects an approach of the other vehicle running a crossroad intersecting a run way of an own vehicle at an anterior intersection and an arrival direction thereof by a radar sensor and notifies a driver thereof. A reflection distance-acquisition part computes a reflection distance Xw according to a difference between absolute values of an X-axis component of a relative position acquired by the radar sensor and an X-axis component of a converted relative position acquired by a relative-position acquisition part of the other vehicle in an X-Y rectangular coordinates with its origin at a location and a Y-axis in a traveling direction of the own vehicle. A notification restriction part forbids a notification of the arrival direction of the other vehicle when the Xw has not fluctuated for a predetermined time or longer.

Abstract: A control apparatus and method for a hybrid vehicle that searches for and determines a scheduled travel route and a downhill section included in the scheduled travel route on the basis of positional information of the vehicle and road information. The control apparatus determines a section from a downhill control start point to an end point of a target downhill section as a controlled target section. The downhill control start point is located a predetermined first distance before a start point of the target downhill section. When the vehicle travels on the controlled target section, the control apparatus executes downhill control. Even in a situation in which a target downhill section is newly determined during execution of the downhill control, the control apparatus continues the downhill control until the vehicle reaches an end point of the controlled target section for which the downhill control is started.

Abstract: An alert ECU acquires intersection information representing a situation of an intersection (target intersection) where a host vehicle will enter. The alert ECU excludes the leftward and rightward orientations from assistance-target orientations when the target intersection is grade separated, when a traffic light is installed at the target intersection, when a median strip is installed in the target intersection along the host vehicle traveling direction, or when a stop sign is not installed at the target intersection. As a result, an alert to a driver for a target vehicle is inhibited when the target vehicle is approaching the host vehicle from an orientation in which it is estimated that the target vehicle cannot collide with the host vehicle and when the target vehicle is approaching the host vehicle from an orientation in which it is estimated that the target vehicle will not collide with the host vehicle for regulatory reasons.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate may comprise irradiating a surface of a first semiconductor layer and a surface of a second semiconductor layer with one or more types of first impurity in a vacuum. The method may comprise bonding the surface of the first semiconductor layer and the surface of the second semiconductor layer to each other in the vacuum. The method may comprise applying heat treatment to the semiconductor substrate produced in the bonding. The first impurity may be an inert impurity that does not generate carriers in the first and second semiconductor layers. The heat treatment may be applied such that a width of an in-depth concentration profile of the first impurity contained in the first and second semiconductor layers is narrower after execution of the heat treatment than before the execution of the heat treatment.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus of the invention is applied to a hybrid vehicle. The apparatus executes an enlarged regeneration control for applying an increased regeneration braking force larger than a normal regeneration braking force to at least one vehicle wheel when a position where it is predicted that a deceleration of the hybrid vehicle ends is set as a target deceleration end position and the acceleration operation amount is zero. The apparatus executes a downslope prediction control when determining that a downslope zone exists on a scheduled traveling route of the hybrid vehicle in order to decrease a battery charge amount. The apparatus forbids an execution of the enlarged regeneration control when both a condition for executing the downslope prediction control and a condition for executing the enlarged regeneration control are satisfied.

Abstract: A control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle including an internal combustion engine, a motor, and a storage battery and configured to charge the storage battery with electric power generated as a result of regenerative braking and electric power generated by using output of the engine. The control apparatus extracts a downhill section contained in a planned travel route of the vehicle and executes downhill control which decreases the remaining capacity of the storage battery before the vehicle enters the downhill section. When the control apparatus extracts the downhill section as a target of the downhill control, if the downhill section contains a flat section whose distance is greater than a predetermined threshold, the control apparatus determines the downhill section is not a target of the downhill control.
