  • Patent number: 8108084
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vehicle display device which allows a driver to instantaneously grasp driving force information. A meter_ECU displays a driving force display image which displays driving force information of a vehicle on an MID, displays an acceleration-torque line (driving force characteristic line) L corresponding to the currently selected mode M and, at the same time, changes a power level which is indicated in a power display region P set within the acceleration-torque line L interlockingly with an accelerator operation of a driver. Due to such a constitution, the vehicle display device allows the driver to instantaneously grasp the driving force information.

  • Patent number: 7772970
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vehicle display device which can display fuel consumption information of a vehicle in a useful and optimum mode for a driver. A meter_EUC calculates an instantaneous fuel consumption of a vehicle based on a mileage and a fuel injection quantity within a set time, calculates an average fuel consumption of the vehicle based on respective cumulative values of the mileage and the fuel injection quantity repeatedly calculated for every set time, and displays the deviation of the instantaneous fuel consumption with respect to the average fuel consumption as fuel consumption information on a fuel consumption meter. The display on the fuel consumption meter is performed by swinging a pointer with respect to a neutral position.

  • Publication number: 20100182615
    Abstract: An image processor selectively sets a first processing function for image data of a first page and a second processing function for the image data of the first page and image data of a second page. A CPU detects a processing load of the image processor. In addition, the CPU instructs the image processor to set the first processing function if the detected load is equal to or higher than a predetermined value. In addition, the CPU instructs the image processor to set the second processing function if the detected load is less than the predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 7444602
    Abstract: When a function design has been carried out by an RTL description using an HDL language, a CPU of an integrated circuit design support apparatus writes data such as a simulation time, a layout area, a timing and a power consumption into a header portion of the RTL description. The CPU stores, as one file, the RTL description comprising the header portion serving as a reuse design database, and an entity portion, in a hard disk drive.
