The second sensor is configured to sense whether an oncoming car is existing, whether the oncoming car is emitting a high beam, and a region that is to be irradiated with the high beam. The memory circuit is configured to store an irradiation distance of a high beam and a decrease rate of light transmittance of the window portion. The arithmetic circuit is configured to output, to the window portion, data on a region of the window portion in which the light transmittance is to be changed, on the basis of data sensed by the first sensor and the second sensor and data stored in the memory circuit.

  • Patent number: 10538256
    Abstract: According to a railcar, a fuse member that couples a first end beam to a second end beam along a car longitudinal direction is formed as a channel material with an approximately U-shaped cross-section, including a web disposed to extend along the car longitudinal direction and a pair of flanges disposed upright from both end portions of this web. Accordingly, when a load received in collision exceeds a predetermined value, the fuse member buckles to allow the first end beam to move toward the second end beam to ensure reducing variation of the load that allows the first end beam to move toward the second end beam. Consequently, when the intended load is input, the first end beam is allowed to move toward the second end beam.

  • Publication number: 20190338792
    Abstract: An abnormality diagnosis method is targeted at a hydraulic device which includes a hydraulic pump and a driven device driven by the hydraulic pump. The method includes calculating a frequency distribution with regard to a deviation between a normal value of an output parameter corresponding to an operation condition and an actual measurement value of the output parameter using a prediction model, and determining the presence of an abnormality if an average of the deviation exceeds a threshold. If the presence of the abnormality is determined, a factor of the abnormality is estimated based on the range of the deviation where a waveform peak of the frequency distribution exists.
