Abstract: In a solid electrolytic capacitor, a path of an electric current flowing from a lower layer to an upper layer of a laminate in cathode portions of respective capacitor elements connected through an electroconductive adhesive layer is opposite to paths of electric currents flowing from a canopy through joints to cathode terminals, thereby achieving reduction in ESL by mutual inductance effect in a simple structure. Since the solid electrolytic capacitor has the structure in which the laminate is surrounded by the canopy and joints, sufficient pressure resistance is ensured for the capacitor elements during resin injection. For this reason, a resin mold to cover the laminate can be formed by transfer molding, which ensures excellent heat resistance and moisture resistance.

Abstract: A near-infrared night vision device to which a pedestrian detection device is applied includes a near-infrared projector, a near-infrared camera, a display and an ECU. By executing programs, the ECU constitutes a pedestrian candidate extraction portion and a determination portion. The pedestrian candidate extraction portion extracts pedestrian candidate regions from near-infrared images. The determination portion normalizes the sizes and the brightnesses of the pedestrian candidates extracted by the pedestrian candidate extraction portion, and then computes the degrees of similarity between the normalized pedestrian candidates. The determination portion determines that a pedestrian candidate having two or more other pedestrian candidates whose degree of similarity with the pedestrian candidate is greater than or equal to a predetermined value is not a pedestrian.
