  • Patent number: 11462103
    Abstract: A driver-assistance device includes a processor having hardware, in which the processor estimates intention related to a drive of a vehicle provided with the processor from input voice data; generates first intention information based on the estimation; transmits the first intention information to outside; and generates and outputs assistance information, which is for assisting the drive of the vehicle provided with the processor based on the first intention information estimated by the processor and second intention information which is intention related to a drive of another vehicle that receives the first intention information transmitted to the outside, the second intention information being estimated by another processor provided in the another vehicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10839691
    Abstract: A driving assistance apparatus includes a memory and a processor having hardware. The processor is configured to acquire behavior prediction information of a moving object within a predetermined range centered on a subject vehicle to which driving assistance is applied, predict behavior content of the moving object within the predetermined range based on the acquired behavior prediction information of the moving object, and output a notification of an alert level corresponding to the predicted behavior content of the moving object at an edge of a windshield corresponding to a side on which the moving object, the behavior content of which has been predicted, exists, with respect to the position of a driver.

  • Patent number: 5514475
    Abstract: A heat-resistant, electrical insulating layer which is suitable for use as an insulating substrate in printed circuit boards and as an insulating film for semiconductor devices and which surpasses a polyimide-based insulating layer with respect to heat resisting properties, dielectric properties, and water absorption. The insulating layer comprises a polycondensed fused polycyclic, polynuclear aromatic resin prepared by a polycondensation reaction of a starting material with a crosslinking agent in the presence of an acid catalyst. The starting material is selected from the group consisting of fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which may have a hydroxyl group as a ring substituent and mixtures of a fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and a monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon both of which may have a hydroxyl group as a ring substituent. The crosslinking agent is an aromatic compound having at least two hydroxymethyl or halomethyl groups as ring substituents.
