Abstract: A three-dimensional measuring apparatus includes a projection unit that projects a pattern onto a subject, a plurality of image capturing units that capture images of the subject from mutually different points of view, and a processing unit that calculates a distance value to the subject by performing association using image groups captured of the subject by the plurality of image capturing units, wherein the processing unit integrates information based on a first image group that was captured by projecting the pattern onto the subject, and information based on a second image group that was captured without projecting the pattern onto the subject, into integrated images or evaluation values to be used during the association such that features of the images from both the first image group and the second image group remain, and calculates the distance value using the integrated images that have been integrated or the evaluation values.

Abstract: A straddled vehicle includes a front wheel, a brake, a front fork, an upper bracket, a steering shaft, a cover, a connecting portion, a bolt, and a brake hose. The upper bracket is connected to the front fork. The steering shaft is connected to the upper bracket. The cover is disposed in front of the front fork. The connecting portion connects the cover and the upper bracket. The connecting portion includes a fixing portion and a linkage portion. The fixing portion is fixed to the upper bracket. The linkage portion is disposed between the cover and the fixing portion. The linkage portion is located below an upper surface of the upper bracket in an axial direction of the steering shaft. The bolt vertically passes through the fixing portion. The brake hose extends from the brake, through behind the cover, and through above the linkage portion.

Abstract: A straddled vehicle includes a front wheel, a front fork, a cover, a brake, a brake hose, and a protector. The front fork rotatably supports the front wheel. The cover is disposed in front of the front fork. The brake is attached to the front wheel. The brake hose is connected to the brake and extends upward behind the cover. The protector is attached to the brake hose. The brake hose includes a first hose, a second hose, and a shrink tube. The second hose is provided separately from the first hose. The shrink tube is disposed behind the cover and connects the first hose and the second hose. The protector is disposed behind the cover and covers the shrink tube.

Abstract: A sensing system includes a controller configured to acquire information on an object, a first sensor disposed in a space formed by a translucent cover and a housing and configured to acquire first data indicating a surrounding environment, a cover cleaner configured to remove a foreign matter adhering to the translucent cover. The controller is configured to determine whether a foreign matter adheres to the translucent cover, and drive the cover cleaner in response to determination that a foreign matter adheres to the translucent cover. When no foreign matter adheres to the translucent cover, the controller acquires the information on the object based on the first data. When a foreign matter adheres to the translucent cover, the controller acquires second data indicating a surrounding environment from a second sensor disposed outside the space, and then acquires the information on the object based on the acquired second data.

Abstract: A position detecting device that includes a recording medium provided with a first recording track in which a non-repetitive signal composed of binary information is recorded and a second recording track in which a signal for specifying a reading section within a section of information of 1 unit for the non-repetitive signal and information reading means that includes a first detection head and a second detection head and for reading each 1 unit information of the non-repetitive signal from the first recording track by using the first detection head in the reading section within a section of information of 1 unit for the non-repetitive signal specified based upon the signal recorded in the second recording track by the second detection head.

Abstract: A displacement detection apparatus includes a scale unit and a detection head unit. The scale unit has a reference track unit and sub-track units, the pitch directions of these units being different from one another. The detection head unit has three or more detection units configured to read scales of the reference track unit and the sub-track units and to output signals in accordance with the read scales. The three detection units detect displacement in two orthogonal directions on a plane parallel to a plane along which the detection head unit moves.

Abstract: To provide a position detecting device capable of easily obtaining a stable recording state without using “absence of record” upon reproducing a binary signal. The position detecting device is provided with a scale unit 10 having an absolute track 11 in which non-repetitive signals composed of binary information are recorded and an incremental track 12 in which a signal for specifying a reading section within a section of information of 1 unit for the non-repetitive signal is recorded; and within a reading section in a section of information of 1 unit for the repetitive signal specified based upon the signal recorded in the incremental track 12, each 1 unit information of the non-repetitive signal is read from the absolute track 11 by an absolute pattern detection head 21. In the absolute track 11, each 1 unit information is recorded in an effective section longer than the reading section within the section of information of 1 unit for the non-repetitive signal.

Abstract: A special enemy character appears in a game world when a given appearance condition has been satisfied in a node (game device). When a game status relating to the special enemy character has satisfied a given game world-to-game world transfer condition (e.g., when the special enemy character has been severely damaged), the node transmits current character data of the special enemy character to another node (another game device), and deletes the special enemy character from the game world. When the appearance condition has been satisfied in the other node, the special enemy character appears in the game world generated by the other node while maintaining the state before transfer.
