  • Publication number: 20240102917
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a detection device includes: photodiodes that are provided on a substrate; light-emitting elements that are arranged so as to face the photodiodes; and a light-transmitting placement substrate that is disposed between the photodiodes and the light-emitting elements and on which target objects are to be placed. The photodiodes, the placement substrate, and the light-emitting elements are arranged in the order as listed, in a direction orthogonal to the substrate. A light-emitting element of the light-emitting elements corresponding to the photodiode to be detected is controlled to be lit, and another light-emitting element of the light-emitting elements corresponding to the photodiode not to be detected is controlled to be unlit. The photodiodes to be detected output sensor values based on light from the lit-up light-emitting elements. The light-emitting elements adjacent to the lit-up light-emitting elements at least in row and column directions are controlled to be unlit.

  • Patent number: 9304000
    Abstract: A portable terminal executing an application program for realizing a predetermined function may not require a re-input operation of setting information and may reduce a restart time of the predetermined function by way of an in-vehicle apparatus. Specifically, the in-vehicle apparatus acquires and stores the setting information from the portable terminal. When a forced termination of the application program is detected, the in-vehicle apparatus transmits the setting information to the portable terminal after the application program is restarted by the portable terminal. The setting information from the in-vehicle apparatus enables the portable terminal to perform an auto-resetting process for redefining/resetting the setting information in order to resumes the application program.

  • Publication number: 20120107674
    Abstract: A housing for containing electrode assemblies and an electrolyte includes a cover 18 having a pair of long-side ends 18e. Peripheral thinned portions 11 are formed by cutting the inner face of a top plate 18a near the long-side ends 18e in parallel with the long-side ends 18e. A central thinned portion 15 is formed by cutting the central part of the outer face of the top plate 18a in parallel with the long-side ends 18e. This facilitates the rupture of a housing 1 due to an increase of the inner pressure, while ensuring the strength of the housing 1 to withstand external pressure.

  • Publication number: 20110309840
    Abstract: A memory stores information that stipulates a standard variable value of a battery residual quantity of a battery during an electric power supply in association with a consumed electric current. A battery anomaly determination apparatus specifies a standard variable value of the battery residual quantity corresponding to a total consumed electric current of loads connected with a battery mounted in a vehicle based on the information stored in the memory, and compares the specified standard variable value of the battery residual quantity with a detection value of the battery residual quantity of the battery mounted in the vehicle, thereby determining and warning an anomaly of the battery.

  • Patent number: 7908314
    Abstract: A method for controlling a management computer connected to a server for permitting communications therebetween, wherein the server transmits to a client the result of processing executed in response to each processing request sent from the client. The management computer stores an allowance for a value indicative of a load on the server, receives from the server a value calculated on the basis of the number of processing requests from the client and the value indicative of the load on the server. The management computer calculates an allowance for the value calculated from the number of processing requests, based on the value calculated from the number of processing requests, the allowance for the value indicative of the load, and the value indicative of the load, and transmits to the server the calculated allowance for the value calculated from the number of processing requests.

  • Patent number: 7660435
    Abstract: A technique for analyzing damage to a motor vehicle, capable of accurately specifying damage on each component by a simple operation. A damage analysis-supporting system for supporting analysis of damage on a motor vehicle has an image generating-portion (301) and a damage-analyzing portion (303). The image-generating portion (301) imports individual drawing data corresponding to components constituting the vehicle into layers and generates an image of a vehicle body seen from a particular direction by superposing the layers. The damage-analyzing portion (303) receives input by a user to the image, where the input designates the area of damage. At the same time, the damage-analyzing portion (303) specifies a damaged portion of each component on a layer-by-layer basis, where each layer has drawing data that belong to the area of damage designated by the user.
