Patent number: 10855915Abstract: A display control unit is provided to set a first display mode and a second display mode each for consecutively displaying a first display image and a second display image of a type different from the first display image at a display unit, while switching between the first display image and the second display image, in continuous image-capturing. A time from when the first display image is displayed until when the second display image is displayed next is shorter in the first display mode as compared to the second display mode. The display control unit performs switching between the first display mode and the second display mode, based on information about a movement of an object in the continuous image-capturing.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Akimitsu Yoshida

Patent number: 10260434Abstract: A controller includes a forced-induction-device controlling section, an obtaining section that is configured to repeatedly obtain a temperature of the coolant in the intake-air cooling system, a determining section that is configured to determine whether the temperature obtained by the obtaining section is higher than or equal to a forced-induction limiting control starting temperature. On condition that the temperature of the coolant has risen to a value at which the determining section determines that the temperature obtained by the obtaining section is higher than or equal to the forced-induction limiting control starting temperature, the forced-induction-device controlling section starts a forced-induction limiting control to lower a forced-induction pressure. In the forced-induction limiting control, the forced-induction-device controlling section increases an extent of limiting of the forced induction as the temperature obtained by the obtaining section becomes closer to the boiling point.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2018Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Akimitsu Yoshida
