  • Publication number: 20240286564
    Abstract: An in-vehicle communication system includes an in-vehicle communication device having a stream database and multiple in-vehicle relay devices connected to the in-vehicle communication device. Each in-vehicle relay device is connected to multiple in-vehicle control devices. The in-vehicle communication device and the in-vehicle relay device communicate with each other in a first communication protocol. The in-vehicle relay device and the in-vehicle control devices communicate with each other in a second communication protocol. The in-vehicle communication device stores time-series information received from the in-vehicle relay device in the stream database, and delivers the information stored in the stream database to the in-vehicle relay device.

  • Patent number: 10982118
    Abstract: The present invention provides a release film having good releasability such that a release force is light, and also suppresses silicone transfer from the film surface. The present invention relates to a release film having a surface layer on a substrate layer, in which a main component of the surface layer is a resin component, the resin component contains a modified acrylic-based resin having a polysiloxane component, and a relationship between a ratio MT of a content of silicon to a content of all elements existing on an outermost surface of the surface layer and a ratio MB of a content of silicon to a content of all elements existing at a position in a depth of 10 nm from the outermost surface of the surface layer vertically toward the substrate layer satisfies (i) 5?MT/MB?30 or (ii) MB=0, and 8.5?MT?30.

  • Patent number: 10948960
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a control device and a control method capable of properly executing a termination process even in a case where a power shutdown occurs again during the execution of a restart process. A programmable logic controller includes a central processing unit module, a power shutdown detection part, a power supply holding circuit, and a power detection part. The central processing unit module executes the termination process with the power supplied from the power supply holding circuit in a case where the power shutdown detection part has detected the power shutdown, and the central processing unit module executes a reboot process on condition that the power supply holding circuit holds a power amount equal to or greater than a reference amount based on the power detection part in a case where the power shutdown detection part has detected a return of the power supply from the power shutdown.

  • Patent number: 10877538
    Abstract: There is expected a technique capable of determining a power supply state with respect to an arithmetic unit according to a connection status with a power supply unit. The arithmetic unit includes a state management circuit outputting a state signal indicating whether or not supply of power from the power supply circuit is valid. The state management circuit of the arithmetic unit determines a value of the state signal based on a voltage of a second port, a voltage of a first port, and a signal indicating whether or not the power supply unit exists.

  • Patent number: 10824063
    Abstract: In an image projection device including a laser beam source and a diffractive optical element provided on an optical path of a laser beam L from the laser beam source, a transparent member having a refractive index higher than that of an area ahead of an emission surface on the optical path of the laser beam L and a diffractive optical element is formed on an emission surface of the transparent member. The laser beam L is obliquely incident on the diffractive optical element. The diffractive optical element generates a diffraction image in an area which is not overlapped with zeroth order light LR of the laser beam L and an area occupied by a conjugate image, and is arranged in a direction to irradiate a screen with diffracted light forming the diffraction image while substantially eliminating the zeroth order light and the diffracted light forming the conjugate image.

  • Patent number: 10782766
    Abstract: There is expected a technique capable of, in the case where supply of power to a control apparatus is cut off, performing appropriate processing on other units. The control apparatus receives supply of power from an external power supply to a power supply unit and supplies power to a main arithmetic unit and a secondary arithmetic unit. The power supply unit is configured to, when receiving a detection signal indicating that a voltage of power supplied to a plurality of arithmetic units falls below a predetermined threshold value, send a shutdown command onto a local bus via a bus master part, and also send the shutdown command to the secondary arithmetic unit.

  • Patent number: 10777709
    Abstract: Provided is a substrate with transparent electrode, which is capable of achieving both acceleration of crystallization dining a heat treatment and suppression of crystallization under a normal temperature environment. In the substrate with transparent electrode, a transparent electrode thin-film formed of a transparent conductive oxide is formed on a film substrate. An underlayer that contains a metal oxide as a main component is formed between the film substrate and the transparent electrode thin-film. The underlayer and the transparent electrode thin-film are in contact with each other. The transparent electrode thin-film is amorphous, and the base layer is dielectric and crystalline.
