Abstract: A automobile laminated glass according to the present invention includes: a first glass plate that is formed into a rectangular shape; a second glass plate that is disposed so as to face the first glass plate, and is formed into a rectangular shape; an intermediate film that is disposed between the first glass plate and the second glass plate; a functional layer that is disposed between the first glass plate and the second glass plate; and an obstructing layer that is laminated on a peripheral edge portion of at least one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate, wherein the functional layer is formed so that an outer edge of at least a portion of the functional layer is located outward of an inner edge of the obstructing layer.

Abstract: A parking assist system which, after a vehicle has passed the side of a parking area formed between parked vehicles, assists parking of the vehicle from a stopped position of the vehicle to the parking area, the parking assist system comprising: a distance sensor that emits radio waves or ultrasonic waves and detects the distance to the parked vehicles on the basis of the reflected waves; parking area detecting apparatus that measures, when the vehicle passes the parked vehicles and the side of the parking area, the distance to the parked vehicles with the distance sensor and detects, after the vehicle has passed the side of the parking area, the parking area on the basis of the measurement result; parking target position calculating apparatus that calculates a parking target position of the vehicle on the basis of the parking area that has been detected by the parking area detecting apparatus; and vehicle trajectory calculating apparatus that calculates, on the basis of the parking target position of the veh

Abstract: To provide a parking assist system that can easily perform parking assistance even when a parking area is narrow and small.

Abstract: An image obtainer, a distance detector, a computer, and an information provider are provided to a vehicle. The computer has a caution-determination function to determine whether caution is required with respect to objects existing around the vehicle by arithmetically processing image data and distance data, and an information providing function to output an instruction to provide information to the occupants of the vehicle by the information provider when it is determined that caution is required. A reference axis for obtaining image is positioned at the center of a range of obtaining the image data by the image obtainer, and a reference axis for detecting distance is positioned at the center of a range of detecting the distance data by the distance detector. The image obtainer and the distance detector are arranged such that the reference axes are coaxially aligned.

Abstract: An obstacle detecting means for detecting data related to the position of an obstacle existing on the side of a vehicle or in front thereof, a computer for computing the detected data, and an alarming means are mounted in the vehicle. The computer includes: a function of setting an alarming area having a certain distance from the side part of the vehicle and a forwardly extended line of the side part, in an outward direction lateral to the side part; a function of tracking the obstacle based on the obstacle data; a function of calculating a traveling locus of the obstacle relative to the vehicle and predicting the traveling locus thereafter; a function of determining whether the traveling locus enters into the alarming area; and a function of generating an alarm to the occupants by the alarming means when the traveling locus is determined to enter into the alarming area.

Abstract: In the emulsion polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising an aromatic vinyl compound, a vinyl cyanide compound and if desired, other vinyl compounds copolymerizable therewith in an aqueous medium, the vinyl cyanide compound is further added to the polymerization system in a controlled velocity during the substantial period of polymerization from the initial stage. When the copolymer thus obtained is incorporated into, for example, an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer composition, thermoplastic resin compositions not coloring upon molding are obtained with a good impact resistance and heat resistance.
