  • Patent number: 12122406
    Abstract: An information display device includes a display unit configured to display information about an object such that the information about the object at least partially overlaps with forward view of a user, and a controller configured to control display of the display unit. The controller is configured to estimate or acquire a prospective moving direction of the object, acquire a sight-line frequency representing a frequency with which a sight-line of the user is directed to the object within a prescribed period, determine whether the sight-line frequency is equal to or more than a prescribed frequency threshold, and cause the display unit to display the prospective moving direction of the object at least on condition that the controller determines that the sight-line frequency is less than the frequency threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240246489
    Abstract: A drive assistance system includes a display object configurator that sets, as a display object or a non-display object, each of traffic participants recognized as alert objects from among nearby traffic participants, and a display controller that performs highlight image processing for highlighting the presence of the display object. When a first traffic participant set as the display object and a second traffic participant set as the non-display object are present in the vicinity of the subject vehicle and recognized as alert objects with the recognition of the first traffic participant by the driver being detected while the highlight image processing is performed, the display object configurator compares the degrees of influence of the first and second traffic participants, sets, as the display object, one of the first and second traffic participants designated on the basis of a result of the comparison, and sets the other as the non-display object.

  • Patent number: 11448115
    Abstract: Two oil coolers (30, 32) are disposed so as to face each other in a front half of the inside of a heat exchanger chamber (26) defined in an upper revolving body (5), one oil cooler (31) is disposed in a rear half, and a space (E) formed between the oil coolers is used as work and passage spaces. Outside air as cooling air is allowed to pass through the respective oil coolers (30 to 32) by cooling fans (35), and cooling air that has passed through each of the two oil coolers (30, 32) disposed so as to face each other is made to mutually collide, and is discharged to the outside through a side outlet (38) of a front wall (26a) and a first upper outlet (39) of a ceiling (26e) of the heat exchanger chamber (26). Cooling air that has passed through the other one oil cooler (31) is made to collide with a left side wall (26c), and is discharged to the outside through a second upper outlet (40) of the ceiling (26e).

  • Patent number: 9476808
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an object-capturing device which accurately detects objects such as microorganisms captured at a test site. The object-capturing device of the present invention includes a capturing dish holding a carrier, which captures objects (microorganisms), on a first side of the capturing dish. The capturing dish has a through hole extending from the first side to a second side of the capturing dish. The object-capturing device is used in a way such that, after the objects are captured with the carrier directed upward, the carrier is directed downward and reagents for detecting the objects are contacted with the objects captured on the carrier through the through hole.

  • Publication number: 20140011229
    Abstract: In a microorganism capturing device as a filter separation apparatus, a first contact chamber and a second contact chamber in each of which an object to be treated is contacted with a treatment agent are disposed apart from each other by a hydrophilic filter. The second contact chamber and a filtrate outlet are separated from each other by a hydrophobic filter. The microorganism capturing device is adapted to efficiently contact the object to be treated with the treatment agent, even if the object to be treated enters into the hydrophilic filter.

  • Patent number: 8598968
    Abstract: An elastic wave device has a convex portion on the top face of a first dielectric layer over an IDT electrode when the elastic wave device has a structure of a boundary wave device in which a film thickness of a second dielectric layer is not less than 1.6 times as much as a pitch width of the IDT electrode. This convex portion increases an electromechanical coupling coefficient of SH wave that is the major wave. Accordingly, good filter characteristics can be easily achieved.
