  • Publication number: 20260084612
    Abstract: Vehicle-external recognition is performed, and light distribution control over headlights mounted on a vehicle is performed based on the vehicle-external recognition. A configuration includes an external sensor that acquires information about an object around the vehicle, and a ground speed acquisition unit that acquires a ground speed of the object based on an output from the external sensor. An emission range of the headlights is variably set based on the ground speed acquired by the ground speed acquisition unit.

  • Patent number: 10372261
    Abstract: A touch panel of capacitance type includes plural X-electrodes, plural Y-electrodes, and a Z-electrode. Each of the X-electrode and the Y-electrode is formed to have pad portions and thin line portions alternately arranged in an extending direction. The pad portion of the X-electrode and the pad portion of the Y-electrode are arranged without being overlapped in a planar view. The Z-electrode is electrically in a floating state, and formed to be overlapped with both the adjacent X-electrode and the Y-electrode in a planar view. The touched position is calculated based on a local minimal point as an intersection with the interelectrode capacitance value that is equal to or smaller than each of the interelectrode capacitance values of four peripheral intersections among those at the intersections between the plural X-electrodes and the plural Y-electrodes.
