Abstract: A vehicle lighting device includes: a low-beam irradiation part which illuminates a lower irradiation region on a forward lower side of a vehicle; a high-beam irradiation part which illuminates an upper irradiation region on an upper side and more to a central side in a vehicle-width direction than the lower irradiation region; and a pattern irradiation part which irradiates irradiation light on a lateral irradiation region that is a travel path side of the vehicle in an irradiation pattern in which a bright region and a dark region are alternately repeated, in which the pattern irradiation part irradiates irradiation light in a predetermined first mode on an upper pattern irradiation region that is an upper side of the lateral irradiation region, and irradiates irradiation light in a second mode different from the first mode in a lower pattern irradiation region that is a lower side of the lateral irradiation region.

Abstract: A vehicle lighting device is provided which can sufficiently improve overlooking of pedestrians by a driver. A vehicle lighting device of the present invention includes: a forward irradiation part (low-beam unit) that irradiates a forward irradiation region (low-beam irradiation region) of a vehicle; a lateral irradiation part (second cornering light unit) that irradiates a lateral irradiation region (right-side second cornering light irradiation region) on an outer side in the vehicle-width direction of the forward irradiation region; and a first pattern irradiation part (forward projector unit) that irradiates a first irradiation region (right-side forward projector unit irradiation region) that partially overlaps the forward irradiation region and lateral irradiation region in a top view in a bright/dark mixed irradiation region in which bright regions and dark regions are alternately repeated.

Abstract: A vehicle lighting device is provided which causes a phenomenon whereby bright areas of an irradiation pattern seem to flow on the roadside of the road, and can give a psychological effect prompting a change in vehicle speed to drivers. A vehicle lighting device includes: a pattern irradiation part which irradiates an irradiation region on a side of a travel path of one's own vehicle by a bright/dark mixed irradiation pattern in which bright regions and dark regions are alternately repeated; a situation recognition device which recognizes a situation prompting a deceleration action or acceleration action to a driver of one's own vehicle, and obtains an output corresponding to the recognition; and a controller which controls the pattern irradiation part so that bright regions and dark regions of the pattern irradiation light move in a front/rear direction of the vehicle, based on the output of the situation recognition device.

Abstract: A vehicle lighting device is provided which improves overlooking of pedestrians by a driver even under adverse conditions such as nighttime and rainy weather. A vehicle lighting device includes: a low-beam irradiation part that illuminates a lower irradiation region ahead and below a vehicle: a pattern irradiation part that irradiates irradiation light on a lateral irradiation region on a side of the travel path of the vehicle in an irradiation pattern in which bright regions and dark regions are alternately repeated; an environmental information acquisition device which acquires information related to the moisture environment around the vehicle; and a controller which changes the irradiation mode of the low-beam irradiation part and/or pattern irradiation part based on information acquired by the environmental information acquisition device.

Abstract: A vehicle lighting device is provided which evokes caution of the approach of a vehicle at an early stage on the side of pedestrians irrespective of being day or night. A vehicle lighting device includes: a pattern irradiation part which irradiates irradiation light on a lateral irradiation region on a side of a travel path of one's own vehicle in a bright/dark mixed irradiation pattern in which bright regions and dark regions are alternately repeated; a situation recognition device which obtains an output corresponding to a situation of brightness outside of one's own vehicle; and a controller which, when the output of the situation recognition device corresponds to a first situation which is at least a predetermined specific brightness, controls the pattern irradiation part so as to be a first lighting mode which is not turned off.

Abstract: A vehicle headlight device capable of improving overlooking of pedestrians by a driver. The device includes: a left-side photoirradiator (left-side pattern irradiation lamp) which irradiates light on a left-side light distribution region (irradiation pattern light distribution region) on a left side of a travel roadway of a vehicle in an irradiation pattern in which a bright region a1 and a dark region are alternately repeated; and a right-side photoirradiator (right-side pattern irradiation lamp) which irradiates light on a right-side light distribution region (irradiation pattern light distribution region) on a right side of a travel roadway of the vehicle in an irradiation pattern in which a bright region a1 and a dark region are alternately repeated. In this embodiment, the left-side photoirradiator (left-side pattern irradiation lamp) is illuminated during left turn of the vehicle, and the right-side photoirradiator (right-side pattern irradiation lamp) is illuminated during right turn of the vehicle.

Abstract: A reading method for reading contents information with a laser from an optical disc including a plurality of recording layers includes positioning a focus position of the laser at a first recording layer and reading a first part of the contents information recorded in the first recording layer. If a first link information recorded in the first recording layer is detected, judging whether a first condition is fulfilled or not. If the first condition is fulfilled, positioning the focus position of the laser at a second recording layer and reading a first link destination information recorded in the second recording layer. If the first condition is not fulfilled, reading a second part of the contents information recorded in the first recording layer.

Abstract: An optical disc including at least three layers of recording layers that each record information in an information track. The recording layer includes: an inner circumferential side region positioned on the inner circumferential side; a data region which is positioned to the outer circumferential side of the inner circumferential side region and records content information; and an outer circumferential side region positioned to the outer circumferential side of the data region. The content information is recorded in the data region of the three or more layers, and a point on an upper layer and a point on a lower layer one layer below the upper layer at which playback switches from content information of the upper layer being played back in an inner circumferential direction to content information of the lower layer, are set to be more to the outside than an innermost circumferential position of the data region.

Abstract: An apparatus for supplying a large amount of bags includes: a bag stocking mechanism that stocks a large amount of raised bags and guides the stocked bags to the front end thereof; and a bag transport mechanism that transports the bags of the bag stocking mechanism to a packaging machine. The apparatus further includes, a bag pickup mechanism and a bag delivery mechanism that pick up the bag from the bag stocking mechanism; a detection unit that detects the orientation of the picked up bag; and a bag turning mechanism that turns the bag in the predetermined transport direction of the bag transport mechanism according to the orientation of the bag detected by the detection unit.
