Abstract: A biological sensor is provided with at least two sensors for detecting vibrations, and is configured so that the at least two sensors form layers. One of the at least two sensors is a first sensor used to acquire biological information, and one is a second sensor used to remove noise. A first cushion material for reducing vibrations is disposed between the first sensor and the second sensor. The first cushion material is integrally laminated with the first sensor and the second sensor. This facilitates accurate detection of biological information.

Abstract: An automatic steering control apparatus includes a steering controller and a steering instruction unit. The steering controller includes a storage, an instruction value checking unit, and a steering control unit, and controls operation of a steering device of a vehicle. The steering instruction unit includes an instruction value calculator and an estimated instruction value calculator, and outputs an instruction value to the steering controller. The instruction value calculator calculates a latest course and calculates the instruction value. The estimated instruction value calculator calculates a future course and calculates an estimated instruction value. The storage stores the estimated instruction value acquired from the estimated instruction value calculator during a past predetermined period.

Abstract: An image processing device includes an onboard camera, an image recognition processor, an object recognition processor and an image-mode switching unit. The onboard camera captures an image ahead of a vehicle. The image recognition processor generates a distance image within an image recognition area on the basis of the captured image. The object recognition processor recognizes an object within the image recognition area and a distance to the object on the basis of the two kinds of images. The image-mode switching unit switches the image recognition area to be recognized by the object recognition processor. The image-mode switching unit checks whether a collision with a pedestrian is detected and an activation command signal is output to a pedestrian protection mechanism. When an output of the activation command signal is detected, the image-mode switching unit switches to a mode where an image area having no pedestrian protection mechanism is set as the image recognition area.
