  • Publication number: 20240136768
    Abstract: A connector mating structure includes a male connector and a female connector mated with each other. The female connector includes a mating securing member. In a state where the male connector and the female connector of the connector mating structure are in a mating state and the mating securing member is positioned in a mating securing position, a forward end of a female locking section is positioned between an upper locking protrusion and a protrusion of an upper locking section. In this manner, assembling instability between a male housing, a female housing and the mating securing member in a forward-rearward direction is suppressed. Furthermore, a short circuit spring is in elastic contact with a short circuit release section and thus presses the female housing upward. In this manner, assembling instability between the male housing, the female housing and the mating securing member in an upward-downward direction is suppressed.

  • Patent number: 11961430
    Abstract: A display device for a vehicle includes a moving speed calculation unit that calculates a moving speed of a pupil based on a position of the pupil detected by a pupil detection unit. In a case in which the moving speed of the pupil is equal to or lower than a threshold, a pupil diameter calculation unit calculates a pupil diameter at a present time based on the pupil at the present time, and outputs the calculated pupil diameter at the present time to a brightness adjustment unit. On the other hand, in a case in which the moving speed of the pupil exceeds the threshold, the pupil diameter calculation unit outputs a pupil diameter calculated at a previous time to the brightness adjustment unit as the pupil diameter at the present time.
