Patent number: 11892628Abstract: A video display system includes: a screen on which an mage for displaying a virtual image is projected; a light source that emits laser light; a scanner that projects the image onto the screen by biaxially scanning the laser light onto the screen; and a controller that generates the image and controls the light source using an image signal for causing the generated image to be projected onto the screen by the laser light, and receives an input of sensing information measured using a temperature sensor and controls the scanner in accordance with the input sensing information. When the sensing information indicates a temperature outside a given temperature range, the controller causes the scanner to reduce an amplitude of the biaxial scanning in at least one axial direction to a smaller value than when the sensing information indicates a second brightness or a temperature within the given temperature range.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Masahito Ogata, Yoshiteru Mino, Kosuke Kubota, Toshiya Mori

Patent number: 11683454Abstract: An in-cabin monitoring system includes a camera which captures an image of an inside of a cabin of a vehicle, a light source which irradiates the inside of the cabin with light, and a controller which controls the camera and the light source. The light source is capable of emitting first light which is light to be emitted when checking whether a person is present using the camera and second light which is stronger than the first light. The controller captures an image of the inside of the cabin using the camera while causing the light source to emit the second light, before the person gets in the vehicle and after the person gets out of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2022Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Hideki Takahashi, Shinji Takenaka, Yoshiteru Mino, Tatsuki Hotani

Publication number: 20120096335Abstract: A read process is performed on an ith designated block storing an ith divided data string. If the ith divided data string is not normally read, the read process is sequentially executed on ith ordinary blocks each storing the ith divided data string, where the ith ordinary blocks are included in ordinary block groups, respectively. When the ith divided data string is normally read, it is determined whether or not reading p divided data strings has been completed. If it is determined that the reading the p divided data strings has not been completed, the read process is performed on an (i+1)th designated block storing an (i+1)th divided data string following the ith divided data string.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2011Publication date: April 19, 2012Applicant: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Tsukasa TAKAHASHI, Tomohisa Sezaki, Nobuhiro Tsuboi, Yoshiteru Mino

Patent number: 7925928Abstract: After power activation, a transferer 14 detects a bootstrap program 111 having a first error check code 114 assigned thereto and being stored in a first storage device 11, subjects the bootstrap program 111 to an error detection/correction process, and transfers the bootstrap program 111 to the second storage device 12. If the transfer is properly completed, by executing the bootstrap program 111 on the second storage device 12, the CPU 10 performs an error detection/correction process for a main program 112 having a second error check code 115 assigned thereto, and transfers the main program 112 to a third storage device 13, after which the CPU's control branches out to the main program 112 on the third storage device 13. As a result, system boot can be performed without employing a NOR type flash memory.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2007Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Yasunori Yamamoto, Keizo Sumida, Yoshiteru Mino

Publication number: 20100090718Abstract: States of LSI internal signals (100 to 107) are monitored. Signal name information (31), signal state information (32), and information (33) about time in an LSI when a signal undergoes a state transition, are packetized and output as trace information (10) to the outside. In a development supporting device, the trace information (10) is decoded, the time information of the LSI is converted into real-time information, and based on the resultant information, a waveform of an LSI internal signal is reproduced. A plurality of LSI internal signals can be traced using terminals (16) the number of which is smaller than the number of the signals to be traced.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2008Publication date: April 15, 2010Inventors: Atsushi Ubukata, Ryuta Tsutsui, Masataka Osaka, Yoshiteru Mino, Tomohisa Sezaki, HIrotaka Doi
