  • Patent number: 11919455
    Abstract: A trunk structure for a vehicle improves retainment performance of goods to a vehicle body in a cargo net, and improves flexibility of the layout of a trunk board. The trunk structure includes a trunk board, a hook member attached to the trunk board to which a cargo net covering goods can be locked, an interior member which constitutes an inside surface of a trunk, and an engaged portion of the interior member which the hook member can engage, the engaged portion restraining movement of the trunk board in an up-down direction when the engaged portion is engaged with the hook member. The hook member is switchable between an engaged state where the hook member engages the engaged portion and a non-engaged state where the engagement is released, and retains the engaged state by locking the cargo net to the hook member.

  • Patent number: 11486702
    Abstract: A method of determining a road surface condition includes: acquiring, when determining a condition of a road surface being in contact with a tire from a time-varying waveform of vibration of the running tire, the time-varying waveform of vibration having been detected by a vibration detecting means, a plurality of intrinsic vibration modes, from data of the time-varying waveform of vibration of the tire, using an algorithm of empirical mode decomposition; selecting an arbitrary intrinsic vibration mode from the plurality of intrinsic vibration modes; calculating a statistic amount from the distribution of feature data calculated by performing Hilbert transform on the selected intrinsic vibration mode to set the statistic amount as a feature amount; and determining the road surface condition from the feature amount and a feature amount obtained in advance for each road surface condition.

  • Publication number: 20210325240
    Abstract: In order to provide a method and a device for determining a tire type of a running tire from a vehicle side, when determining the tire type, which is the type of the tire, from an output of an acceleration sensor attached to an inner surface side of a tire tread of the tire mounted on a vehicle, a feature vector is extracted from an acceleration waveform detected from the output of the acceleration sensor, and the tire type of the tire is determined, by a machine learning algorithm, from the extracted feature vector. The tire type is determined on the basis of the extracted feature vector and a determination model in which a feature vector obtained in advance for each tire type has been configured as learning data.

  • Publication number: 20210309230
    Abstract: A method for determining a state of a road surface in which, a time-series waveform of tire vibration detected by an acceleration sensor is windowed by a windowing means with a time T and a feature vector Xi in each time window is calculated through the extraction of a time-series waveform of the tire-vibration in each time window. Thereafter, in the calculation of a kernel function KA from the feature vector Xi in each time window and a road surface feature vector YAj that is a feature vector in each time window calculated from a time-series waveform of tire-vibration that has been calculated in advance for each road surface state, the feature vector Xi in each time window and the road-surface feature vector YAj are made to be vibration levels of frequency bands of 500 Hz or greater extracted from the time-series waveform in each time window.

  • Publication number: 20170345396
    Abstract: In one aspect, a device includes a processor, a display accessible to the processor, and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to identify a location of at least one fold line along which the display is folded, where a first display zone is established on a first side of the fold line and a second display zone is established on a second side of the fold line. The instructions are also executable to, based on identification of the location of the at least one fold line, establish a first display mode in the first display zone and a second display mode in the second display zone, where the first display mode is different from the second display mode.

  • Publication number: 20110242081
    Abstract: Provided is a method of driving an information display panel in which: at least two types of display media comprised of particle groups containing chargeable particles are sealed between opposed two substrates, at least one substrate being transparent; a voltage is applied across a pair of opposed pixel electrodes formed such that conductive films provided to the respective substrates face each other to move the display media, thereby displaying an information image, wherein, at the time of deleting the information image displayed on the information display panel, application of an alternating voltage and application of positive or negative voltage two or more cycles in a row are combined to delete the information image. With this method of driving an information display panel, it is possible to sufficiently delete a history of a previously displayed information image without causing the decrease in lifetime of display-rewriting and increase in power consumption.

  • Patent number: 7675574
    Abstract: A display mode switching device and method automatically switches a display mode of a television set to an overscan mode or to an underscan mode depending on a content of a screen. In a case of connecting a television set to a computer, a call from an application for an API in an OS is detected by a device driver when a user starts playing a DVD or a game. Accordingly, an output mode for the television set is switched to the overscan mode. In this way, a motion video or a game is displayed on the television set in the overscan mode. Meanwhile, when the user finishes playing the DVD or the game, a call for the API to release resources is detected by the device driver, and the output mode is restored to the underscan mode. In this way, a computer screen is displayed on the television set in the underscan mode.
