  • Patent number: 11934746
    Abstract: An information generation device generating a test case being a simulation model for reproducing a road traffic condition in an area on a road including a target point, the information generation device including: a first storage unit that stores moving-object information being information regarding a moving object existing in the area; a determination unit that determines whether or not an incident in which the moving object existing in the area shows a behavior that leads to occurrence of an accident has occurred, on the basis of the moving-object information; an extraction unit that extracts, as target information, moving-object information in a target period being a predetermined time period including a time point at which the incident occurred; and a generation unit that generates the test case upon occurrence of the incident on the basis of the target information.

  • Publication number: 20200272890
    Abstract: An information processing device is applied to computation of a network connecting nodes of a neural network. A number of rows or a number of columns of a weighting matrix of the network is made a number of rows or a number of columns reduced from a number of rows or a number of columns determined by input data or output data. Then, a weight component of the reduced number of rows or number of columns is multiplied with a vector of the input data, a matrix of the results of the multiplication is divided into a partial matrix for every certain number of columns or number of rows, and a sum of matrices is taken for every partial matrix obtained by the dividing.

  • Patent number: 9895959
    Abstract: A refrigerant circulation apparatus includes: a vehicle-interior air conditioning (2) that cools an interior of a vehicle; an on-vehicle battery cooler (3) that includes an evaporator for on-vehicle battery cooling (32) that cools an on-vehicle battery mounted on the vehicle; and an electric compressor (5) that compresses and supplies a refrigerant to at least one of the vehicle-interior air conditioning (2) and the on-vehicle battery cooling (3). The apparatus also includes: a temperature sensor (41) that detects a temperature of the electric compressor (5); a pressure sensor (42) that detects a pressure of the refrigerant compressed by the electric compressor (5); and a control unit (40) that restricts operation of the evaporator for on-vehicle battery cooling (32) to reduce load on the electric compressor (5) based on the temperature of the electric compressor (5) and the pressure of the refrigerant.

  • Patent number: 9573580
    Abstract: A charge control device for a hybrid vehicle includes a driving battery supplying electric power to front and rear motors. It can switch between a normal power generation mode in which an engine is driven at a first rotational speed higher than an idling speed to generate electric power and charge the driving battery to a predetermined amount of charge, and a forced power generation mode in which the engine is forcedly driven at the first rotational speed or higher to generate electric power and charge the battery so as to maintain a higher amount of charge of the driving battery than a predetermined amount of charge, and drives the engine at an idling speed or lower to reduce an amount of electric power generation if the cooling water of the engine is a first predetermined temperature or higher when the forced power generation mode is performed.
