  • Publication number: 20220144609
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an autonomous mobile robot has a driver, a first detector, a second detector, a localization estimation part, a route-generating part, and a control part. The localization estimation part is configured to calculate an estimated position of the autonomous mobile robot in a predetermined region in accordance with first data. The route-generating part is configured to calculate a position of an object present around the autonomous mobile robot in accordance with second data. The route-generating part is configured to calculate a route to a target position in accordance with the estimated position and the position of the object. The control part is configured to control the driver in accordance with the route. The control part is configured to cause the autonomous mobile robot to travel to the target position.

  • Publication number: 20140184651
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a display device includes a bezel, a display, and a transparent lens member. The display includes a display screen surrounded by the bezel. The transparent lens member is arranged in front of the bezel and the display screen so as to cover at least the display screen, and is capable of displaying an image displayed on the display screen in an enlarged manner of a size equal to or larger than an outer shape of the bezel. The transparent lens member includes an anisotropic magnification lens portion and a non-lens portion. The anisotropic magnification lens portion is provided to a periphery of the transparent lens member. The non-lens portion has a flat plate configuration and is arranged at a center portion of the transparent lens member.

  • Publication number: 20130006524
    Abstract: A navigation device includes: a storage unit configured to store map information; a position detecting unit configured to detect a position of a moving body; a controller configured to generate drawing data; and a display unit configured to display the drawing data on a screen, the display unit includes a plurality of backlights. The controller is configured to control the plurality of the backlights such that luminance of a backlight that is arranged to irradiate a second region is lower than luminance of a backlight that is arranged to irradiate a first region. The first region corresponds to a traveling direction of the moving body, the second region is a region other than the first region, and the first region is configured to change according to a scale of the map information displayed on the display unit.

  • Publication number: 20060190637
    Abstract: A control apparatus has a memory, a processor, an input/output controller, and an interrupt controller. The processor is accessible to the memory. The input/output controller starts to transfer data from an input/output device to write the data to a given area in the memory not through the processor, reads data out of the given area in the memory after last data is transferred, and issues an interrupt indicative of completion of data transfer after confirming that all of the transferred data has been written to the memory by confirming a response. The interrupt controller receives the interrupt from the input/output controller and transmits the interrupt to the processor.

  • Patent number: 6990599
    Abstract: An SD memory card host controller supplies a clock to an SD memory card and issues a read command. After that, the host controller stops supplying the clock to the SD memory card during latency of read data from receipt of a response to the read command from the SD memory card to readout of data. The host controller resumes supplying the clock immediately before a data cycle starts. Power savings can thus be achieved by controlling the clock to be supplied to the SD memory card.

  • Patent number: 5603001
    Abstract: A NAND bus interface independently receives 16 ready/busy signals from 16 flash EEPROM chips and thereby separately manages the operating states of these flash EEPROMs. Once a flash EEPROM as a write access target is set in a ready state, a write access to this write access target flash EEPROM is started without waiting for completion of the operations of all the flash EEPROMs. Each flash EEPROM is of a command control type capable of automatically executing a write operation. This allows parallel processing of the flash EEPROMs, i.e., a write access to a given EEPROM can be performed while a data write to another flash EEPROM is being executed. An ECC calculating circuit calculates a data string transferred in units of 256 bytes from a data buffer by a processor, and generates an ECC corresponding to that data string. The 256-byte data string is added with the generated ECC and transferred to a data register of a flash EEPROM.
