    Abstract: In an apparatus for determining a build of an occupant sitting in a seat within a cabin of a vehicle, an image acquirer is configured to acquire an image of the occupant. A position-information calculator is configured to calculate shoulder-joint information that is information representing positions of left and right shoulder joints of the occupant in the image. A twisted-posture determiner is configured to determine whether the occupant is in a twisted posture based on the shoulder-joint information. An occupant-build determiner is configured to determine a build of the occupant based on the shoulder-joint information. The occupant-build determiner is further configured to, in response to the twisted-posture determiner determining that the occupant is in the twisted posture, cancel making a determination of the build of the occupant based on shoulder-joint information that was used to determine that the occupant is in the twisted posture.

  • Patent number: 11433921
    Abstract: A parking assist system includes: a control device configured to control a vehicle, a vehicle position detecting device configured to detect a position of the vehicle; a shift device configured to be operated for changing a shift position; and a brake input member configured to be operated for driving a brake device. In a case where the vehicle is stopped at a position other than a target position and a switching position, the control device changes the shift position to a parking position or a neutral position unless a shift maintenance condition is satisfied. The shift maintenance condition includes at least one of condition (i) that the vehicle is stopped at a position out of a prescribed range according to an operation of the brake input member and a condition (ii) that a cause for which the vehicle has been stopped is removed.

  • Publication number: 20180032865
    Abstract: In a prediction apparatus for a learning system, an obtaining unit obtains, as input variables, at least one parameter indicative of a structure of a convolutional neural network, the number of nodes of a learning system, and a sub-batch number indicative of the number of pieces of training data collectively processed by at least one graphic processing unit. A predictor predicts at least one of learning time and an average mini-batch size as a function of the input variables obtained by the obtainer. The learning time is time required for one update of all the weights by a central processing unit. The average mini-batch size is an average number of pieces of training data used for the one update of all the weights.

  • Publication number: 20170132515
    Abstract: In a learning system, a storage stores training data. At least one processor performs a plurality of processes. Each of the processes calculates, based on the at least one parameter at a present time and the training data, a differential value for updating the at least one parameter in accordance with backpropagation. Each of the processes calculates, based on the differential value and the at least one parameter at the present time, a transmission value to be transmitted to the other processes. Each of the processes updates, based on the transmission values transmitted from the other processes, the at least one parameter at the present time.

  • Patent number: 8475337
    Abstract: When there is an extremely low ambient temperature, an electronic control unit controls operation of a circulation path for coolant water in such a manner that, after starting of an engine, the coolant water is supplied from the engine first to a throttle valve and an EGR valve and then to an oil warmer for a transmission. This solves a failure problem in the throttle valve and the EGR valve caused by frost formation at an early stage. As a result, desired operating performance of the vehicle is quickly ensured and heat management in the vehicle is carried out in a desired manner when there is an extremely low ambient temperature.

  • Patent number: 6198991
    Abstract: A low-noise level landing apparatus for helicopters comprises a helicopter position calculator for calculating the position of the helicopter, a data input device, an air data sensor for measuring an airspeed and a descending angle, a rotor tachometer for detecting a rotor rotational speed, a memory and a fuel gauge for calculating the weight of the helicopter, a rotor rotational speed controller for controlling the rotor rotational speed, a BVI noise generating area database device for storing noise levels in accordance with parameters of descending speed, airspeed, descending angle, rotor rotational speed and weight of the helicopter. A computer selects a flight route, an airspeed, a descending angle and a rotor rotational speed wherein noise is reduced, by setting a plurality of flight routes on the basis of the helicopter position and landing point and by referring to the noise generating area database device. Low-noise level landing is then carried out by pilot manual control or automatic flight control.

  • Patent number: 6101431
    Abstract: A three-dimensional digital map prepared by an satellite or the like is stored in a first memory as a wide-area information. Narrow-area information obtained by a laser radar is stored in a second memory. Obstacle information on obstacles, such as high-voltage power lines, high buildings and cranes, is stored in a third memory. These three information are read out to generate virtual images on a see-through type display mounted on a helmet of a pilot so that the virtual images is superimposed on the actual field of vision.
