Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus has a first electric power source device and a second electric power source device installed in a vehicle. The vehicle control apparatus monitors a charged electric amount of a second electric power source device after starting to execute a parking assist control. When the charged electric amount becomes smaller than a predetermined first threshold, the vehicle control apparatus executes a stopping control of controlling at least one of a braking apparatus and a shift change apparatus to stop the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus sets a target speed of a vehicle such that a maximum value of the target speed is a first speed during a parking assist control. The vehicle control apparatus executes the parking assist control with maintaining a speed of the vehicle at a speed equal to or slower than a predetermined speed limit value slower than the first speed when a predetermined condition that the vehicle moves along a downward slope, is satisfied when a first electric power source device is in a normal state during the parking assist control. At least one of a braking apparatus and a shift change apparatus executes a stopping control of stopping the vehicle when a malfunction occurs in the first electric power source device during the parking assist control.

Abstract: In a solid-state imaging element that performs AD conversion for each pixel, image quality degradation when resolution is lowered is suppressed without wastefully consuming power. The solid-state imaging element includes a plurality of pixels. Each of the plurality of pixels is provided with a comparison unit, an addition circuit, and a data storage unit. The comparison unit generates a difference signal obtained by amplifying a difference between an analog pixel signal to which a predetermined coordinate is assigned and a predetermined reference signal. The addition circuit generates an addition signal by performing analog addition of the difference signal and a difference signal regarding another coordinate adjacent to the predetermined coordinate. The data storage unit holds a digital signal indicating a time when an output signal of the comparison unit corresponding to the addition signal is inverted.

Abstract: A parking assistance device performs parking assistance control including steering angle control for changing a steering angle of a vehicle, driving force control for controlling a driving force of the vehicle, and braking force control for controlling a braking force of the vehicle. The parking assistance device notifies an occupant of a driving operation to be performed by the occupant, including a moving operation on a shift lever and an operation on a brake pedal when the vehicle reaches a switching position where a traveling direction of the vehicle is to be switched during performing the parking assistance control. When the driving operation is performed by the occupant, the parking assistance device restarts the parking assistance control at a timing when the occupant stops the operation on the brake pedal.

Abstract: Provided is a parking assist apparatus for a vehicle, the parking assist apparatus including a first module configured to set, as a movement path, a path along which the vehicle is movable to a target position, and determine movement assist information for moving the vehicle along the movement path; and a second module configured to execute parking assist control such that the vehicle moves in accordance with the determined movement assist information, the second module being further configured to, when an occupant performs a first operation before the vehicle has reached the target position, stop the vehicle, and execute pause processing for maintaining the movement assist information.

Abstract: The lubrication loop 5 includes a first lubrication flow path L4, a release flow path L6, a low pressure fluid discharge valve 13, a return flow path L7, and a discharge flow path L8. In the low pressure fluid discharge valve 13, an accumulator piston 22 is biased to the other end side of a piston housing chamber 21 by a spring 26 when a pressure of the fluid applied to a piston position control chamber 27 is less than a predetermined pressure so that a supply port 24 and a discharge port 25 communicate with each other via a spool groove 32.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a hydraulic circuit without a dedicated to simplify the structure and reduce the cost. The hydraulic circuit includes an oil pump and a main control valve provided in an oil supply circuit which supplies oil discharged from the oil pump. When a line pressure that acts on the main control valve exceeds a first setting value, the main control valve opens to allow the oil to flow to the oil supply circuit. The main control valve is provided with a relief port connected to a suction side of the oil pump. When the line pressure that acts on the main control valve exceeds a second setting value larger than the first setting value, a part of the oil that flows through the oil supply circuit is returned to the suction side of the oil pump from the relief port of the main control valve.

Abstract: Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer pellets comprise an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and water, and have a water content of not higher than 0.5 wt. %, wherein the ratio (Y/Z) of a lactone ring content (Y) to the sum (Z) of a carboxylic acid content (X) and the lactone ring content (Y) in terminal structures of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer is not less than 60 mol %.
