Abstract: A camera device includes a first IR illuminator that is configured to irradiate a first irradiation range in a capturing area with first IR light, a second IR illuminator that is configured to irradiate a second irradiation range narrower than the first irradiation range in the capturing area with second IR light, and a controller that is configured to obtain a zoom magnification of the lens and controls the irradiation of the first IR light and the second IR light in a case where the zoom magnification is equal to a predetermined zoom magnification. The controller changes a supplied current of the first IR illuminator for the irradiation of the first IR light over a first predetermined time period, and changes a supplied current of the second IR illuminator for the irradiation of the second IR light over a second predetermined time period.

Abstract: An electric power steering apparatus includes a rotating assist force computing unit for computing an assist force in the rotating direction of a steering wheel, a returning assist force computing unit for computing a returning assist force, which is a steering assist force in a direction opposite to the rotating direction, and a summing unit for adding up the computed assist force in the rotating direction and the computed returning assist force. The electric power steering apparatus returns the steering wheel and steered road wheels to the neutral position at an earlier time if a driver releases his or her hands from the steering wheel when rotating the steering wheel.

Abstract: An electric steering device includes an electric actuator which generates a steering assist force for a steering mechanism of a vehicle, a control unit which controls the steering assist force generated from the electric actuator based on an operation of a steering wheel by a driver, an ignition signal detection unit which detects presence or absence of an ignition signal of the vehicle, and a speed acquisition unit which acquires a running speed of the vehicle. In a case that the ignition signal is not detected and the running speed is a predetermined speed or more, the control unit reduces an upper limit of the steering assist force generated from the electric actuator so as to be smaller than an upper limit in a case that the ignition signal is detected.

Abstract: A camera apparatus includes a camera unit that is provided with a camera lens, a camera body that rotatably holds the camera unit, and a rotating mechanism that rotates the camera unit in response to an emergency signal so as to be switched from a first state where the camera lens is stored inside the camera body to a second state where the camera lens is exposed to an outside of the camera body.

Abstract: A fender panel mounting structure for a vehicle is configured so that a fender panel can be removed without detaching the corner glass of a non-opening window. The fender panel mounting structure has the triangular non-opening window provided between a front pillar and an outside panel. A protrusion covering the upper frame member of the front pillar is formed at the upper edge of the fender panel covering the outer surface of the outside panel. A flange protruding to the inner surface side of the non-opening window from a side edge of the protrusion, the side edge facing the non-opening window, is provided on the protrusion. A clip having a slit extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle is provided at the opening edge of the non-opening window at a position corresponding to the flange. The flange is engaged in a releasable manner with the slit.
