  • Publication number: 20230120179
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores a program for a computer of a display control apparatus that displays information in a first system and that is connected to a Web server of a second system over a network. The program causes the computer to: display patient information and examination information on a display region of a display screen displayed on a display of the first system, the display displaying information in the first system; obtain related information that is related to the patient information or the examination information from the Web server; and display the related information on the display region.

  • Patent number: 11400918
    Abstract: A vehicle control device to be installed in a vehicle includes a self-driving controller and a calculator. The self-driving controller is configured to set a target vehicle speed and a target steering angle to allow the vehicle to trace a predetermined target travel locus. The self-driving controller is configured to control the vehicle based on the target vehicle speed and the target steering angle. The calculator is configured to calculate a deviation between an index of an actual vehicle behavior and an index of a reference vehicle behavior. The self-driving controller corrects one or both of the target vehicle speed and the target steering angle in accordance with an increase of the deviation, so as to stabilize the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11285951
    Abstract: A vehicle brake control apparatus includes a vibration detector configured to detect a predetermined vibration state in a frictional brake device, a power regeneration execution determination unit configured to determine, in a case where the predetermined vibration state is detected by the vibration detector, whether to permit execution of power regeneration by a power generating device or to limit the execution, a pressing force controller configured to change, in a case where the execution of the power regeneration is limited by the power regeneration execution determination unit, a pressing force of a friction material in the frictional brake device, and a driving force cooperative controller configured to adjust a driving force of a vehicle to suppress fluctuation in forward acceleration or backward acceleration of the vehicle associated with a change in the pressing force by the pressing force controller.
