  • Patent number: 10739580
    Abstract: To provide an optical-scanning-height measuring device capable of efficiently measuring a shape of a desired portion of a measurement object. Designation of a measurement point on an image of a measurement object S is received. Light emitted from a light emitting section 231 is deflected by the deflecting section and irradiated on the measurement object S. The deflecting section is controlled to irradiate the light on a portion of the measurement object S corresponding to the measurement point. A deflecting direction of the deflecting section or an irradiation position of the light deflected by the deflecting section is detected. Height of the portion of the measurement object S corresponding to the measurement point is calculated on the basis of the deflecting direction of the deflecting section or the irradiation position of the light deflected by the deflecting section and the light reception signal output by the light receiving section.

  • Patent number: 8190323
    Abstract: A vehicle information recording system has an ECU and the like to detect an abnormal event that occurs on the vehicle, a vehicle state determination unit to determine a vehicle state including at least one of a running state and a running environment of the vehicle based on an output value and a threshold of a sensor and a switch provided in various parts of the vehicle, and a memory unit to record a vehicle state when an abnormal event is detected, which is determined by the vehicle state determination unit, and a duration time of the vehicle state determined by the vehicle state determination unit from when the output value exceeds the threshold to when the abnormal event is detected.
