  • Publication number: 20110310099
    Abstract: A 3D image processing apparatus which generates a left-eye image signal and a right-eye image signal for stereoscopic vision, including: a blend ratio determination unit which determines, for each of a plurality of objects which are displayed in layers, a blend ratio that is used in synthesizing images, at each pixel position of the left-eye image signal and the right-eye image signal, so that the blend ratio increases as an offset that is an amount of shift in position between a left-eye image and a right-eye image of the object increases; and a synthesis unit which synthesizes, based on the blend ratio determined by the blend ratio determination unit, pixel values of the objects at each pixel position of the left-eye image signal and the right-eye image signal, to generate the left-eye image signal and the right-eye image signal.

  • Publication number: 20110204788
    Abstract: An illumination controlling device for a vehicle includes a controlling portion to change a luminance phase of a meter based on operation of an operating portion and to maintain a luminance phase of a lighting while the lighting is extinguished. The controlling portion changes the luminance phase of the meter based on the operation of the operating portion and changes the luminance phase of the lighting to correspond to the luminance phase of the meter if the operating portion is operated in a state that the luminance phase is different between the meter and the lighting while the lighting is illuminated.

  • Publication number: 20100055001
    Abstract: The present invention is capable of determining that a reaction region is in an abnormal reaction state precisely with high reproducibility, executing proper analysis processing in accordance with the determined state of the reaction region, and efficiently analyzing a characteristic of the reaction region. The present invention obtains intensity values of first and second wavelength components by measurement of light emitted from the reaction region with a spectrometer. A relative intensity calculator calculates relative intensity of the first wavelength component relative to the second wavelength component from the intensity values of the first and second wavelength components. The apparatus determines whether or not the calculated relative intensity is a value within a predetermined range. An output portion provides notification that the state of the reaction region is a predetermined state when it is determined that the relative intensity is within the predetermined range.

  • Patent number: 5184868
    Abstract: A front body structure of an automotive vehicle includes a pair of support members disposed on opposite sides of a section between a front body and a passenger compartment of the automotive vehicle, the support members having high rigidity, and a pair of front side frames disposed in a lengthwise direction of the vehicle. Each of the front side frames includes a front portion, a rear portion connected to one of the support members and an, intensive deformable portion which allows intensive compressive deformation of a portion of the front side frame before the rear portion of the front side frame when the vehicle encounters a head-on collision.

  • Patent number: 5087074
    Abstract: A is a vehicle suspension mounting structure for mounting a suspension device to a vehicle body. At least the upper arm of the suspension device is constituted by two link members disposed to be spaced apart by a predetermined distance in the vertical direction of the vehicle body with respect to a vehicle wheel support member. The suspension mounting structure includes a mounting mechanism for mounting the rear end of the upper link member to a dash panel.
