  • Patent number: 10889298
    Abstract: A detection ECU detects, from an image captured by an in-vehicle camera, left and right lane markings defining an own lane which is a traffic lane in which an own vehicle is traveling, and performs following travel control to cause the own vehicle to travel following a preceding vehicle which travels ahead in the own lane defined by the detected lane markings. Furthermore, when determining that the measured inter-vehicular distance is shorter than a predetermined distance and at least one of the detected lane markings has become undetectable during execution of the following travel control, the detection ECU determines based on the estimated and calculated lane markings that the preceding vehicle has deviated to a traffic lane different from the own lane.

  • Publication number: 20210001576
    Abstract: Provided is a technology for imparting a design having a higher degree of freedom than in the related art to a composite material product including a woven fabric, which is formed of a thread made of a specific fiber (carbon fiber, glass fiber, aramid fiber), and a resin. As a first step, a specific fiber cloth (100), which is the woven fabric formed of the thread made of a specific fiber, and a backing sheet (200) formed of a thermoplastic resin are stacked. Subsequently, embroidery is performed with an embroidery thread (300) to form a design on a front surface of the specific fiber cloth (100). The embroidery thread (300) is made of the specific fiber, and penetrates through the specific fiber cloth (100) and the backing sheet (200). Then, the specific fiber cloth (100) and the backing sheet (200) are sandwiched between resin sheets (400) each formed of a thermoplastic resin, and the whole is cured by an RFI method.

  • Publication number: 20200249257
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an IC chip holder capable of alleviating an impact if the IC chip holder is dropped or collides with another object. In the IC chip holder, an upper housing body is provided, on a side of electric contacts of an IC chip, with an elastic deformation portion capable of elastically deforming toward the inside of the upper housing body. Thus, since the elastic deformation portion elastically deforms toward the inside of the upper housing body, if the IC chip holder is dropped or collides with another object, the elastic deformation portion bends and the impact is alleviated. Thus, a possibility of the IC chip being damaged is reduced.
