  • Publication number: 20240075824
    Abstract: A charge port device includes a charge port provided in a port accommodation recess and a lid for concealing the port accommodation recess. A latch is provided in the port accommodation recess on an opposite side to a lid hinge with respect to the charge port. A slit is formed between a surface of a vehicle body and an outer circumferential edge of the lid while the lid is closed. A lamp is provided at a position in the port accommodation recess between the latch and the slit on an opposite side to the lid hinge with respect to the charge port and the position is not visible from outside while the lid is closed. Formed is a light-guiding reflection path that guides a light emitted from the lamp toward the above-mentioned slit as an indirect light by reflecting the light while the lid is closed.

  • Patent number: 7136347
    Abstract: By the control information recording method, control information to control at least one of recording and reproducing operations of record information on an information record medium is recorded onto a guide track of the information record medium. The control information recording method is provided with the steps of: generating a control information timing signal one after another at an interval corresponding to a length of a control information unit equal to an N (N: predetermined integer not less than 2) multiple of a length of a record information unit of the record information; and recording the control information onto the guide track of the information record medium, on the basis of a timing corresponding to the control information timing signal.

  • Patent number: 6937556
    Abstract: 1 An optical recording medium for accurately deriving the address information or the disc rotation control information despite narrow track pitch and for recording signals to a high density, and a method and apparatus for recording and/or reproducing such optical recording medium. The optical recording medium has a wobbled groove and pits formed at a pre-set interval in an area between turns of the wobbled groove. The recording/reproducing method includes controlling rotation of the optical recording medium by a wobbled signal from the groove and detecting the position on the optical recording medium of a recording signal by pit signals detected from the pits. The recording/reproducing apparatus includes a detection device for detecting the wobbled signal from the groove and a detection device for detecting pit signals from the pits.
