  • Patent number: 9944298
    Abstract: A driver can intuitively and conveniently perform an operation for instructing a traffic lane change to a vehicle. In a driving support device 10, an image output unit 14a outputs, to a display unit 31, an image containing an own vehicle object representing an own vehicle and a plurality of traffic lanes. An operation signal input unit 14b receives an operation of a user for moving the own vehicle object in the image displayed on the display unit 31 from a first traffic lane to a second traffic lane. A command output unit 14c outputs, to an automatic driving control unit 20 that controls automatic driving, a command for instructing the change of a traveling traffic lane of the own vehicle from the first traffic lane to the second traffic lane when the operation is received.

  • Patent number: 8922001
    Abstract: A semiconductor device in which warpage is less likely to occur. In the semiconductor device, two semiconductor chips are mounted over a diagonal of a substrate and one of the semiconductor chips lies over the intersection of the two diagonals of the substrate. The semiconductor device gives a solution to the following problem. In order to implement a semiconductor device with a plurality of semiconductor chips mounted on a substrate, generally the substrate must have a larger area. If the area of the substrate is increased without an increase in its thickness, warpage or deformation of the semiconductor device is more likely to occur. It is difficult or impossible to mount a warped or deformed semiconductor device over a wiring substrate.
