  • Patent number: 10785563
    Abstract: Systems and methods for an equipment capable of simultaneous measurements of surround sound reproduction and noise source localization in closed or open space. The systems and methods are particularly used when surround sound reproduction and noise source localization are required in a moving object of a closed space. A moving object in a closed space is not limited to a specific product, as for example, an automobile, a train, an elevator, or the like can be considered.

  • Patent number: 9392954
    Abstract: A classification estimating system can include an input element group; an intermediate element group into which are input values of first intermediate variables for which a first multiple desensitization, including an accumulation of values of each input element of a first input element group and each value of a first output sensitivity and each value of a first multiplex output sensitivity, has been carried out and calculated; an output element group into which is input a value of an output variable calculated based on a value of each intermediate element of a first intermediate element group and a value of each connection weight; a classification information estimating module for estimating classification information based on pre-stored correspondence relationship information and a value of the output variable; and a classification information display.

  • Patent number: 7042053
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a principal plane on which gate, source, and drain electrodes are located. A film made of a polymer with a low dielectric constant is over the gate and drain electrodes to insulate the gate and drain electrodes from the source electrodes. A chip surface electrode located over the low-dielectric-constant polymer film and the source electrode, and connected to ground potential. The source electrode is provided with the ground potential through the chip surface electrode.

  • Patent number: 4978214
    Abstract: A display apparatus for an automotive vehicle for displaying a vehicular driving information, such as vehicle speed, fuel amount, engine coolant temperature and so forth, includes a light shield interpositioned between a semi-transparent projector panel, on which information containing virtual image is formed, and a transparent panel which covers a cavity formed in an instrument panel for receiving an optical image projector device. The transparent panel is so designed as to reflect lights, such as sun beam toward the light shield. With this construction, the sun beam and so forth reflected by the transparent panel can be absorbed by the light shield to maintain contrast of the virtual image formed on the projector panel satisfactorily high and thus may not affect to visibility of the displayed image.

  • Patent number: 4786164
    Abstract: The system and method for detecting an intervehicle distance to a preceding vehicle which is moving on the same lane as the vehicle, means for radiating and sweeping an electromagnetic wave such as a laser beam toward the moving direction of the vehicle is provided, with the confirmation of a lane on which the vehicle moves on the basis of a comparison of their sweep angles to reflectors located on both ends of a road on which the vehicle moves from a center axis of the vehicle's movement direction, the traffic lane on which a vehicle moving in front of the vehicle moves is determined on the basis of their sweep angles of the electromagnetic wave with respect to the vehicle from the other vehicle moving in front of the vehicle to the reflectors located on both ends of the road and having the same distance to the vehicle as the other vehicle, and the intervehicle distance data is outputted upon determination that both vehicles move on the same traffic lane, a correct intervehicle distance from the vehicle to t
