  • Publication number: 20240172182
    Abstract: A terminal includes: a reception unit configured to receive a signal from another terminal in resource pool in which partial sensing is configured and periodic reservation is configured to be enabled; a control unit configured to determine candidate resources for resource selection in the resource pool from a resource selection window, determine sensing target resources that correspond to the candidate resources, and determine resources that are available for use by identifying the candidate resources based on a sensing result of the sensing target resources; and a transmission unit configured to perform transmission to the other terminal by using the determined resources. The control unit determines, as the sensing target resources, one or more most recent sensing occasions that are located at a time point before a processing time restriction and that correspond to periodicity of the periodic reservation.

  • Publication number: 20240166151
    Abstract: An earth structure for a filler pipe includes a filler pipe; a tubular cover member in which an upstream end of the filler pipe is inserted and which defines a fueling port; an annular seal part interposed between the filler pipe and the cover member; and an earth member which is mounted an outer surface of the filler pipe and extends along a longitudinal direction of the filler pipe. The cover member is made of a conductive material, and the earth member is in contact with the cover member on a downstream side of the seal part. Since it is not necessary to dispose the earth member so as to pass through the seal part, the sealability between the filler pipe and the cover member improves.

  • Patent number: 11987182
    Abstract: A display image to be displayed on a display unit is obtained in accordance with motion of a viewpoint of a driver, on the basis of a captured image obtained by capturing an image on a rear side from a vehicle, when a line-of-sight of the driver is in a certain region including the display unit. For example, the display image is obtained in accordance with a deviation of a viewpoint position of the driver from a reference viewpoint position. For example, the reference viewpoint position is updated on the basis of a long-term fluctuation of the viewpoint position. For example, the reference viewpoint position is not updated when a line-of-sight of the driver is in a certain region including a display unit that displays a display image.
