  • Patent number: 6965380
    Abstract: A user interface for analyzing multiple dimension data, with which a great number of multiple dimension data sets can be easily and intuitively analyzed and edited. At the least, data having two dimensions are selected from among multiple dimension data. Then, the selected data are assigned to respective coordinate axes so that the coordinate axes cross each other, or intersect each other if two-dimensional data are selected. The coordinate axes are divided, using a predetermined threshold value, into a number of segments, and these segments are assembled to define composite areas for all the coordinate axes. Data are displayed in each of the composite areas in order to enable analysis and editing of multiple dimension data. As a result, in the preferred embodiment, a great number of multiple dimension data sets can be easily and intuitively analyzed and edited.

  • Publication number: 20040220950
    Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for measuring the efficiency of components in a computer. An echo server is provided which comprises several units. A socket generation unit generates a receiving server socket on the basis of information on a correspondence between a plurality of components in a computer. And generates a client socket that is a dedicated socket inheriting information of the receiving server socket when data is transmitted. A stream acquisition unit acquires a transmission path for acquiring data transmitted and received between components. A thread generation unit generates a transmission path by coupling streams. A transfer execution unit transfers data acquired via a thread to an original destination component. Using these units, the technique monitors and running verifies behavior by observing data running on the network.

  • Patent number: 6594583
    Abstract: An image pick-up means mounted in the motor vehicle picks up a side direction of a driver's own vehicle. An approaching object detecting means detects an approaching degree of an approaching object which approaches his own vehicle from a side direction road crossing his own vehicle on the basis of two images picked up at two timings apart by a prescribed interval by the image pick-up means. A danger decision means decides a danger on the basis of the approaching degree. In such a configuration, a side-monitoring apparatus for a motor vehicle can accurately know the danger of collision with the object approaching from the side direction road.

  • Patent number: 6556133
    Abstract: A vehicle-use surroundings monitoring system is provided, wherein a driver is prevented from driving without acknowledging that the detection of an approaching vehicle traveling in the adjacent lane area cannot be carried out because the driver is informed of the existence of an abnormally approaching following vehicle obstructing to image-take the adjacent lanes. An existence judging means (3a-3) judges the existence of the abnormally approaching following vehicle traveling on the subject lane and obstructing to image-take the adjacent lanes by an image-taking means. When the existence judging means (3a-3) judges that the abnormally approaching following vehicle exists, an alarm generating means (5) issues an alarm.
