Publication number: 20140232536Abstract: In an intrusion detection device of the embodiment, a determining unit allows a transmission unit to stop transmitting ultrasonic waves until a level of a Doppler signal exceeds a predetermined threshold (threshold for detecting destruction of a window glass), and allows the transmission unit to transmit the ultrasonic waves when the level of the Doppler signal exceeds said threshold. Therefore, if the destruction of the window glass is not detected, it is possible to reduce power consumption through allowing the transmission unit to stop the transmission. Further, because processing for detecting intrusion is performed after the destruction of the window glass has been detected, it is possible to reduce erroneous detection of an intruder resulting from a movement of an object (e.g., falling of papers, a sunshade, or the like that is leaned against the interior wall) other than a human.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2012Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicants: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Ryuzo Uda, Toyohiro Tani, Kazushi Goto, Tomoyuki Funayama, Takeo Endo, Masahiro Tanaka

Publication number: 20140077783Abstract: An adjusting apparatus sets a designated value of a current source circuit to be a predetermined value, and causes discharging of a capacitor to end by switching a switch to a discharging side when the capacitor is not being charged by current output from a switching power source circuit. After the discharging of the capacitor ends and the designated value is set, the adjusting apparatus causes the capacitor to be charged by switching the switch to a charging side. The adjusting apparatus further measures a time period from the time when the switch is switched to the charging side until an electric potential difference of the capacitor exceeds a threshold value. Based on the measured time period and the predetermined value, the adjusting apparatus calculates the designated value such that the measured time period is a predetermined time period.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Inventors: Masahiro TANAKA, Hiroyuki MATSUNAMI, Osamu YAMAGUCHI, Osamu SUGAYA
