Abstract: The first transmission mechanism of the present invention includes a first permanent magnet, a first rocking member with a rod-like shape that includes one end at which the first permanent magnet is disposed and is extended in Z-axis direction, and two supporting bodies that rockably support the first rocking member at two different positions in Z-axis direction of the first rocking member. The first rocking member is rocked to move the first permanent magnet by an amount of displacement smaller than an amount of displacement inputted to the first supporting body, which is located on a side of the other end of the first rocking member in the two supporting bodies.

Abstract: A rotation angle detection device includes a rotary body rotating in linked motion with a steering wheel; a detector rotating in linked motion with the rotary body; a magnetic detection element placed on a wiring board and detecting magnetism of a magnet placed at the detector; a control part for detecting a rotation angle of the rotary body based on a detection signal from the magnetic detection element; and a holder latched onto the wiring board and rotatably holding the detector.

Abstract: A vehicle-onboard driving lane recognizing apparatus of a small scale includes an image pick-up unit (1) mounted on a motor vehicle for picking up images of scenes making appearance in front of the motor vehicle, an image data selecting unit (2) for selecting image data only of a predetermined region from the image picked up by the image pick-up unit (1), an image data storing unit (3) for storing the image data, and a driving lane recognizing unit (4) for detecting lane markings (21) on the road from the image data stored in the image data storing unit (3) to thereby recognize a driving lane extending along the lane markings (21). The image data selecting unit (2), the image data storing unit (3) and the driving lane recognizing unit (4) are all implemented in a single chip.

Abstract: A rotation angle detector is provided with a spring to thrust a rotary body against protrusions formed on an inner wall of an opening via a detector body in a manner to keep the rotary body rotatable without any play in a linked motion with a steering shaft. As a result, the detector can detect rotation angles of the steering shaft with high accuracy.

Abstract: Hitherto, when operating a wiper at intermittent intervals or dimming a headlight during one's vehicle being stopped, the wiper and headlight are not returned to a normal operation until the one's vehicle starts moving thereby making it hard to see around. The invention provides an improved control device of auxiliary apparatus for vehicle, in which when it is detected by a vehicle-ahead start detector 12 that a vehicle ahead starts moving and when a vehicle speed detector 11 detects that one's vehicle is stopped, the control device controls a peripheral recognition assist apparatus such as wiper 32 or headlight 42, and a peripheral recognition apparatus such as active sensor 52 of a near-infrared camera 54 so as to come under a state suitable for traveling thereby making it possible to recognition around one's vehicle and start the One's vehicle immediately.
