Abstract: There is provided a host vehicle blind spot monitoring system having a function of identifying a target in a host vehicle blind spot in order to respond to regulations (UNR 151, UNR 159). A host vehicle blind spot monitoring system transmits a transmission wave to a predetermined search area and identifies a type of an object that reflects the transmission wave, based on detection results of a plurality of radar devices that detect the object by using a reflected wave received from the object. The plurality of radar devices is arranged such that a search area of each of the radar devices has a different vertical height from a road surface.

Abstract: A charging device includes: a communication unit that acquires authentication information about an EVSE; a processor that determines, based on the authentication information, whether or not the EVSE is under a time-based billing system; and a processor that is capable of switching between timer charging and immediate charging. When timer charging is set and when it is determined that the EVSE is under a time-based billing system, the processor switches from timer charging to immediate charging.

Abstract: ECU is a control device for a locking mechanism that secures a charging connector to an inlet of a vehicle. ECU includes a CPU and an interface for receiving a signal indicating whether the charging connector is connected to the inlet and whether the charging connector is for direct current or alternating current. CPU determines whether the charging connector connected to the inlet is for AC/DC using the received signal, and unlocks the locking device according to whether the charging connector is for AC or DC. On the other hand, CPU unlocks the locking device according to the condition for AC before determining whether the charging connector is for AC or DC.

Abstract: A distortion sensor is provided on each of a plurality of tie bars and the extension amount of each tie bar is detected by the distortion sensor thereof, whereby a mold clamping force actually applied to a mold is measured. This measurement specifies the part of the mold that first opens and obtains a minimum mold clamping force that does not open the mold in that part. The minimum mold clamping force thus obtained is the minimum mold clamping force that does not open the mold without being influenced by factors such as the shape and the arrangement of a cavity in the mold and the mold clamping force balance of a mold clamping part of an injection molding machine.
