Patent number: 11945442Abstract: An autonomous driving system includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to suggest to a driver that a host vehicle overtake a preceding vehicle during autonomous driving, recognize whether the driver accepts a suggestion for the overtaking, when the electronic control unit recognizes that the driver accepts the suggestion, cause the host vehicle to overtake the preceding vehicle, and, when the electronic control unit recognizes that the driver rejects the suggestion, not cause the host vehicle to overtake the preceding vehicle, set a first prohibition duration, and, when the electronic control unit suggests to the driver that the host vehicle overtake the preceding vehicle and recognizes that the driver rejects the suggestion, extend the first prohibition duration as compared to when the electronic control unit suggests to the driver that the host vehicle overtake the preceding vehicle and recognizes that the driver accepts the suggestion.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Naoki Nishimura, Shingo Shibata

Publication number: 20110082281Abstract: The present invention relates to a casein hydrolysate containing free amino acids and in vivo indigestible peptides having minimally suppressed in vivo enzymatic digestibility, and expected to express functions, such as hypotensive effect, in living organism, and to a method for preparing such a hydrolysate, and use thereof. The casein hydrolysate of the present invention contains free amino acids and peptides, such as in vivo indigestible peptides including Xaa-Pro and Xaa-Pro-Pro, obtained by hydrolyzing animal milk casein to have an average chain length of not longer than 2.1 in terms of the number of amino acid residues, and has ACE inhibitory activity or hypotensive effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2010Publication date: April 7, 2011Applicant: CALPIS CO., LTD.Inventors: Naoyuki Yamamoto, Seiichi Mizuno, Shingo Nishimura, Hideo Nishimura, Takanobu Gotou, Keiichi Matsuura, Tadashi Shinoda

Publication number: 20070122451Abstract: The present invention provides novel in vivo indigestible peptides that are highly absorbable and hardly digestible in living organism when administered orally or through other route, and expected to effectively exhibit functions, such as hypotensive effect, in living organism, and ACE inhibitors prepared with the peptides, and medicine or functional food expected to effectively exhibit hypotensive effect in living organism. The in vivo indigestible peptides are dipeptides or tripeptides having Pro at the carboxyl terminals, selected from the group consisting of Ile-Pro, Glu-Pro, Arg-Pro, Gln-Pro, Met-Pro, and Ser-Pro-Pro.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2004Publication date: May 31, 2007Applicant: Calpis Co., Ltd.Inventors: Naoyuki Yamamoto, Seiichi Mizuno, Shingo Nishimura, Hideo Nishimura, Takanobu Gotou, Keiichi Matsuura

Patent number: 5461697Abstract: A speaker recognition system for recognizing a speaker from an input voice using a neural network, in which a feature quantity extracted from the input voice is timewise averaged to create an input pattern to the neural network. The averaging technique is such that the input voice is equally divided timewise into a plurality of blocks in a simple manner and that such feature quantity is averaged every block. The feature quantity includes a frequency characteristic, pitch frequency, linear prediction coefficient, and partial self-correlation (PARCOR) coefficient of the voice.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1993Date of Patent: October 24, 1995Assignee: Sekisui Kagaku Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shingo Nishimura, Masashi Miyakawa, Masayuki Umino, Shigenobu Nonaka

Patent number: 5235881Abstract: A piercing die including a punch and a die cooperating with each other to effect a piercing operation on a metallic workpiece sheet, the punch having an outer peripheral edge having a closed profile at a working end thereof. The outer peripheral edge of the punch has a first and a second chamfered portion which are formed such that the amount of chamfer of the first chamfered portion is larger than that of the second chamfered portion. The first and second chamfered portions are formed along large-curvature and small-curvature portions of the closed profile of the punch, respectively, and/or along acute and obtuse outer peripheral portions of the punch whose working end face is inclined with respect to the direction perpendicular to the piercing direction. A piercing method using the punch and die is also included.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1992Date of Patent: August 17, 1993Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuhiro Sano, Yutaka Suzuki, Shingo Nishimura
