  • Publication number: 20120212132
    Abstract: A vehicle light device control apparatus includes a sensor unit and a control unit. The sensor unit detects an upper light intensity of light coming from an upper side of a vehicle and a front light intensity of light coming from a front side of the vehicle. The control unit determines whether the upper light intensity is equal to or less than a predetermined turn-ON threshold. The control unit turns ON a light device of the vehicle when the upper light intensity is equal to or less than the turn-ON threshold. The control unit calculates a light intensity ratio between the front light intensity and the upper light intensity and corrects the turn-ON threshold based on the light intensity ratio.

  • Patent number: 8154207
    Abstract: A control unit determines whether a vehicle has entered an area under a covering object that covers the upper side of the vehicle. In the case where the control unit determines that the vehicle has entered the area under the covering object, the control unit turns on light apparatus when both of a measurement of an upper light intensity, which is measured with an upper light intensity sensor, and a measurement of a front light intensity, which is measured with a front light intensity sensor, require turning on of the light apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7605231
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a gelatin derivative having an organic compound as a graft chain and a high-molecular weight micelle containing the gelatin derivative. As the organic compound, a low molecular weight compound such as succinic acid, ethylenediamine, etc., or a high-molecular weight compound such as polyethylene glycol, polylactic acid, etc. can be used. The high-molecular weight micelle can be used as a pharmaceutical composition excellent in control of sustained release or targeting property by carrying it on a drug, etc. Also, the gelatin derivative can be an excellent adhesion preventing membrane by crosslinking it.
