Patent number: 9663035Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: an image color determination unit configured to determine color of overlay image data to be superimposed on captured image data of successive frames generated by capturing surroundings of a vehicle such that a first color of overlay image data of a first frame differs from a second color of the overlay image data of a second frame following the first frame; and an image synthesizing unit configured to superimpose the overlay image data in the first color and the overlay image data in the second color respectively on predetermined positions in the captured image data of the first frame and the second frame, and output images corresponding to the captured image data of the successive frames one after another to a display. Thereby, an overlay image that is easily visible regardless of background color and driver's color vision is superimposed on a captured image.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2013Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Takatoshi Nakata, Hideyuki Seto, Takahiro Okada

Patent number: 9039052Abstract: A mold structure used to form a molded object having an undercut portion includes a fixed mold as a first mold having a first molding surface for molding an obverse surface of the molded object; a slide core having an undercut molding surface used to mold the undercut portion as part of the obverse surface of the molded object; and a movable mold as a second mold having a second molding surface used to mold the reverse surface of the molded object. The first molding surface and the undercut molding surface form a cavity surface. A step is formed between the first molding surface and the second molding surface at a parting position between the fixed mold and the slide core on the cavity surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2010Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hideyuki Seto, Shinichi Shimada, Shinichi Hanada, Akira Izumi, Sumio Sasaki

Patent number: 7435215Abstract: An inserting portion has, at the proximal end thereof, an operating portion having a bending lever for bending operation. The operating portion has, on the front end side thereof, a grip portion gripped by an operator. The grip portion has therein a plate frame as an internal structure for ensuring predetermined strength. At the notch portion formed by partly notching the frame, an image pick-up unit is mounted to form an optical image transmitted by image guiding fibers to a CCD via a relay optical system. The image pick-up unit is fixed to the frame via an attaching member. Thus, predetermined strength is assured and the image pick-up unit is compactly accommodated with simple structure. A predetermined image pick-up function using the image pick-up unit is held without the action of high tension to the image guiding fibers by mounting a bending portion to the image guiding fibers.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2004Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: Olympus CorporationInventors: Hideyuki Seto, Shigeyasu Kishioka, Toshiyuki Kubonoya
