Abstract: A method for controlling a vehicle navigation system is provided. The vehicle navigation system includes: an in-vehicle camera configured to capture at least one occupant in a vehicle and detect a line-of-sight direction of the at least one occupant based on a captured image of the at least one occupant; and an in-vehicle device including a touchscreen configured to accept an operation of the at least one occupant and display information. The method includes: acquiring a detection result including a line-of-sight direction of a driver of the at least one occupant and the captured image; and accepting an input operation for information displayed on the touchscreen and accepting a touch operation on the touchscreen by an occupant in a passenger seat, based on the line-of-sight direction of the driver from the detection result.

Abstract: A transfer type recording apparatus for recording a multi-colored picture, which apparatus is miniaturized in size and, without improving an efficiency of multi-transfer of an ink sheet, is capable of forming a longer picture than in previous technology. The recording apparatus comprises a plurality of recording heads, conveying mechanisms for a print sheet and an ink sheet, and guide rollers located between each thermal head. The ink sheet is conveyed at a slower speed than the print sheet. The guide roller guides the ink sheet, positioned between adjacent thermal heads, apart from the print sheet.

Abstract: A waveguide modulation circuit branches a first short circuit from a main waveguide and branches a second short circuit from the first short circuit. The second short circuit is branched by an H-plane slit coupling at a position distant from the short-terminal of the first short circuit by a length of a half wavelength or some multiples thereof and this second short circuit is short-circuited or conductively terminated at a length of a half wavelength or some muliples thereof distant from its branch point. In the second short circuit, a switching diode is loaded at a predetermined position distant from the short-terminal towards the branch point. A pulse train of the modulation signal is appled to this diode to attain a 2-phase PSK-modulation circuit. A wave absorber may be attached to the short-terminal of the first short circuit, whenever necessary. A 4-phase PSK signal can also be obtained.
