  • Publication number: 20180105109
    Abstract: A vehicular visual recognition control device includes an in-out motor, an in-out sensor, an ECU, and a power control section. The in-out motor is configured to change a position of a mirror surface in order to visually recognize the vehicle surroundings. The in-out sensor is configured to detect a position of the mirror surface using changes in the in-out motor based on a resistance value of a sliding resistance having a resistance value that changes according to the position of the mirror surface. The ECU is configured to control the in-out motor based on a detection result of the in-out sensor so as to change the position of the mirror surface to a predetermined target position in cases in which a predetermined condition for changing the position of the mirror surface section is satisfied.

    Abstract: An ECU controls an in/out motor so as to, interlockingly with turning of a vehicle, change a viewing range of a periphery of the vehicle with respect to a vehicle occupant. The ECU estimates an offset angle between a vehicle traveling direction and a traffic lane from a traveling state before establishment of a condition for starting changing the viewing range, and, on the basis of the estimated offset angle, corrects an amount of change of the viewing range by the in/out motor that changes the viewing range interlockingly with turning.

  • Patent number: 9694937
    Abstract: A component carrying tray includes a bottom plate on which a component is stacked, and a projection. The projection has a main body and a regulator. The main body is hollow and has a tapering shape. The regulator is formed in the main body and extends in a direction perpendicular to the carrying surface and contacts a side surface of the component to regulate the component carried on the carrying surface. The bottom plate has a through hole so that when the component carrying tray is stacked on an additional component carrying tray, a projection of the additional component carrying tray comes into the hollow part of the main body. An opening is formed in the projection and configured to avoid, when the component carrying tray is stacked on an additional component carrying tray, interference between the projection and a regulator of the additional component carrying tray.
