  • Publication number: 20240075874
    Abstract: A data processing device for performing suitable feedback with regard to a pointing gesture of a vehicle occupant is provided. The occupant state recognition unit recognizes motion of an occupant of the vehicle pointing to outside the vehicle. The peripheral conditions acquisition unit acquires the peripheral circumstances around the vehicle. The target recognition unit recognizes a target pointed at by the occupant based on recognition results obtained by the occupant state recognition unit and recognition results obtained by the peripheral conditions acquisition unit. The light emitting unit has a long shape and is installed above or below a windshield of the vehicle over a vehicle body width direction. The light emission control unit controls, in two stages, a luminescence mode for a portion of the light emitting unit corresponding to a direction pointed at by the occupant and/or a direction in which the target is located.

  • Patent number: 10752477
    Abstract: A control device of a hydraulic winch includes an engine, a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor driving a winch drum, a winch manipulating member, an engine control unit controlling a rotation speed of the engine, a winch load detector detecting a load applied to the winch drum, and a motor capacity control unit controlling a motor capacity of the hydraulic motor so as to decrease a motor capacity of the hydraulic motor in a fuel-saving operation mode to a motor capacity which is smaller than a motor capacity of the hydraulic motor in a normal operation mode. The engine control unit sets an upper limit value of the rotation speed of the engine in the fuel-saving operation mode to a value which is lower than a maximum rotation speed of the engine in the normal operation mode and corresponds to the load detected by the winch load detector.

  • Patent number: 10745077
    Abstract: A bicycle control device comprises a bracket member including a first end portion and a second end portion with a saddle portion provided in between the first end portion and the second end portion for gripping. The second end portion has a pair of spaced apart walls with opposed surfaces. The control device further comprises a lever pivotally provided around a pivot axis extending between the opposed surfaces. The lever includes a protruding portion extending in an axial direction of the pivot axis to an outermost point that is at least 23.2 mm offset from a reference plane parallel to a bicycle center plane and defined at a midpoint between the opposed surfaces, as viewed from a parallel direction parallel to the reference plane.
