  • Publication number: 20250094748
    Abstract: A reading apparatus includes an antenna element, a substrate including a ground plane and a communication circuit, and a housing. The housing has a plate-like shape having a length in a first direction that is shorter than a length in a second direction and a length in a third direction. The reading apparatus includes a parasitic element that is disposed apart from the substrate in the first direction and is disposed so as to overlap both of the antenna element and the ground plane when viewed in the first direction, the parasitic element resonating when the antenna element is excited. A length of the parasitic element in the second direction is shorter than ½ of a wavelength of an operation frequency that is used to transmit and receive the radio signal.

  • Patent number: 12234623
    Abstract: A tilt structure to be provided allows the tilt of a console to be changed through simple motion and has a simple configuration. A control member 30 is coupled to a second frame 25 at a first coupling position P1 and is coupled to a first frame 20 at a second coupling position P2 provided below the first coupling position P1. Controlling the control member 30 makes the height of the first coupling position P1 adjustable. The tilt of the second frame 25 is changed in response to the height of the first coupling position P1.

  • Publication number: 20240317127
    Abstract: An armrest structure easily adjustable in position with one hand includes an armrest portion attached to a fixed frame to be swingable horizontally, and the armrest portion includes a button member disposed to be push-operable, at a front end of the armrest portion, and an urging member configured to urge the button member. The fixed frame and the button member regulate swing of the armrest portion by causing a pin provided on one of the fixed frame and the button member to engage with an engagement groove provided on the other of the fixed frame and the button member. The urging member urges the button member in a direction in which the pin and the engagement groove engage with each other. When the button member is pushed in against urging force of the urging member, the pin disengages from the engagement groove to enable the armrest portion to swing.

  • Publication number: 20240208491
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a vehicle control device capable of preventing an erroneous operation of an advanced driving assistance system while ensuring safety. A vehicle control device 110 includes a course prediction unit F1, a collision prediction unit F3, a vehicle control unit F5, and a control intervention adjustment unit F4. The course prediction unit F1 predicts a turning course of a vehicle as a steady circular turning course based on a steering angle ?. The collision prediction unit F3 calculates a collision margin time (TTC) between a target detected by an external environment sensor of the vehicle and the vehicle that travels on the steady circular turning course, and calculates a predicted collision lateral position CLL of the target with respect to a vehicle width center position of the vehicle. The vehicle control unit F5 performs collision avoidance control of a vehicle 100 when the collision margin time is shorter than a control intervention threshold value TH.
