Abstract: To improve accuracy of a grouping process by accurately obtaining an error of an observation value of a sensor. A vehicle control system includes an integration unit that estimates information on a position and a speed of a target existing in an external field, and errors of the position and the speed based on information from a sensor that acquires information on the external field of an own vehicle. The integration unit estimates an error of a detection result from the detection result of a sensor that detects an external field of a vehicle in accordance with a characteristic of the sensor, determines correlation between detection results of a plurality of the sensors, and integrates correlated detection results and calculates the errors of the position and the speed of the target.

Abstract: A secondary battery gasket for use between stack members stacked on one another at varying intervals (tightening margins) allows the stack members to have appropriate sealing surfaces and achieve stable sealing performance, and minimizes the increase in the sealing width when a sealant is compressed. A gasket for a secondary battery placeable between stack members of a secondary battery includes a flat frame shaped to extend along sealing target portions on peripheries of the stack members, and an annular sealant bonded to a sealing edge of the frame and made of elastic material. The annular sealant includes an annular sealing bead extending along an entire length of the sealing edge and having a thickness greater than an interval between adjacent stack members The sealing bead has at least one annular recess along the entire length of the sealing edge.

Abstract: A hinge mechanism includes a resin base member, and a support rotatably and pivotally mounted to the base member. The base member is formed by blow molding so as to be hollowed. The base member integrally includes a hinge member for rotatably and pivotally mounting the support to the base member. The hinge member is set in a molding die for clamping at the time of the blow molding of the base member, so as to be molded integrally with the base member.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention include a vehicular seat having a seatback, a seat cushion, a table and an armrest. The seatback is preferably tiltably connected to a seat cushion. The table is preferably provided beside the seat cushion. The armrest is preferably mounted to a side portion of the seatback. The table preferably has a recess for avoiding from interfering the table with the armrest when the seatback is brought down to a predetermined position.

Abstract: A table for a vehicle includes a table main body, and an extending and retracting mechanism which connects the table main body to a base so as to be extended and retracted relative to the base. The mechanism includes link mechanism units which extend and retract the table main body relative to the base by a link movement, an operation part which is connected to the link mechanism units and operates the link mechanism units, and a cancel mechanism unit which prevents the link mechanism units from being operated without through an operation of the operation part. The cancel mechanism unit is configured such that when one of the link mechanism units is operated in a direction without through the operation of the operation part, an operating force is not transmitted to the operation part.
