  • Publication number: 20230398992
    Abstract: A hybrid vehicle system is configured to be capable of switching among four or more of a plurality of traveling modes including a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) mode and an electric vehicle (EV) mode, and includes one toggle switch for selecting any one of the plurality of traveling modes and a controller. The controller selects the plurality of traveling modes in sequence whenever the toggle switch accepts each of operations to a first direction and a second direction. The HEV mode is set to be changed to different traveling modes between when the toggle switch accepts one or a plurality of operations to the first direction and when the toggle switch accepts an operation to the second direction, and the HEV mode and the EV mode are set to be continuous in an order of selection by the controller.

  • Patent number: 7780452
    Abstract: In a listening comprehension test using individual examination execution devices, according to the present invention, it is possible to avoid a dishonest act such as peeping at another examinee's answers. An individual examination execution device (101) reads examination question data and individual information from an examination question storage means (102) storing the examination questions and an individual information storage means (103) storing the individual information, respectively. Further, the individual examination device selectively generates actual questions according to the individual information read by an actual question generation means (104), and reproduces the actual questions by a reproduction means (105), thereby preventing dishonest acts of respective examinees.

  • Publication number: 20100086053
    Abstract: A motion estimation device executes motion estimation for a macroblock in a current picture, using pixel data of a reference picture in a multi-frame memory (504), including the following elements. A local memory (702) holds a part of the pixel data. The part is in a first range from which motion is estimated in first motion estimation, and read out from the multi-frame memory (504). A common motion estimation unit (704) executes the first motion estimation using pixel data in the part held in the local memory (702). A direct motion estimation unit (108) executes the second motion estimation using pixel data in the pixel data of the reference picture by an algorithm different from that of the first motion estimation. The pixel data used by the direct motion estimation unit (108) is included in a second range which includes the first range and is larger than the first range.
