Abstract: When a host vehicle travels while being decelerated by an intervention of automatic braking, a support ECU calculates a collision prediction speed at a collision prediction position and determines whether or not the collision prediction speed exceeds a collision prediction speed threshold. The support ECU allows an automatic steering for collision avoidance to intervene only in a case where the collision prediction speed is determined to be equal to or less than the collision prediction speed threshold and prohibits the intervention of the automatic steering in a case where the collision prediction speed is determined to exceed the collision prediction speed threshold.

Abstract: Provided is a drive assist apparatus in which, when performing a linear search on search target values with respect to each of a plurality of search information items, the increase of maximum value of the total number of searches in all of the plurality of search information items can be suppressed. A drive assist apparatus 100 includes an assist determination unit 32 configured to, in calculation processing in a drive assist control of a host vehicle V, perform a linear search with respect to search information formed of a plurality of values. In a case of performing the linear search on the search target value which is the target of searching with respect to each of the plurality of search information items, the assist determination unit 32 alternately performs an ascending search and a descending search with respect to each search information.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to accurately predict a movement trajectory of an object from a history of positions of the object even in a case where shaking or deflection of a vehicle occurs.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an object detection apparatus and a driving assistance apparatus in which movement information of a target object can be obtained with high accuracy. In the present invention, the object detection apparatus is an apparatus that detects a target object from a predetermined mounting position (a vehicle and the like); performs an object detection from a predetermined mounting position; in a case where a target object is detected, acquires the position of the target object; obtains a feature amount of a fixed object existing around the target object and detects a position of a fixed object; sets the position of the fixed object as a reference point; and calculates movement information of the target object from the position of the target object with the reference point as a reference.

Abstract: A driving-assistance device is disclosed. The driving-assistance device in which, when a three-dimensional object is present on a course of a host vehicle, driving assistance for avoiding a collision between the host vehicle and the three-dimensional object is implemented on a condition that an unavoidable three-dimensional object is present in a predetermined range including the course, the driving-assistance device comprises a setting unit configured to set the predetermined range in the vicinity of the host vehicle at a degree of width depending on the three-dimensional object, wherein, when a plurality of the three-dimensional objects are detected within the predetermined range, the setting unit makes the degree of width smaller than when a single three-dimensional object is detected within the predetermined range.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a technique which is capable of detecting a collision position of a moving object crossing a road and a subject vehicle with a higher degree of accuracy. In the present invention, in cases where the moving object crossing the road into which the subject vehicle has entered is detected at the time when the subject vehicle has turned to the right or to the left, the direction of a moving vector of the moving object is fixed to a direction which is set based on a shape of the road into which the subject vehicle has turned to the right or to the left. Then, the collision position of the moving object and the subject vehicle is predicted based on this moving vector of which the direction is fixed.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to further improve the detection accuracy of a lateral position of a target in an object detecting apparatus for detecting an object by using a radar and a monocular image sensor. In the present invention, a target corresponding to a target recognized by the radar is extracted and a right edge and a left edge of the target are acquired from an image picked up by the monocular image sensor. Further, locus approximation lines, which are straight lines or predetermined curved lines for approximating loci of the right edge and the left edge, are derived for the both edges. The edge, which has a larger number of edges existing on the locus approximation line, is selected as a true edge of the target from the right edge and the left edge. The lateral position of the target is derived on the basis of the position of the selected edge.

Abstract: A keyboard includes a first keyboard unit for left hand operation of an operator, a second keyboard unit separable from the first keyboard unit, for right hand operation of the operator, and a fix plate movable between the first and second keyboard units, wherein one of the first and second keyboard units accommodates the fix plate when the first and second keyboard units are separated from each other, the fix plate bridges the first and second keyboard units when the first and second keyboard units are connected with each other to form a single keyboard, and a fixing mechanism is provided for fixing the fix plate upon the first and second keyboard units in the state that the fix plate bridges across the first and second keyboard units.

Abstract: A ratchet 3 is secured to a rotatable base plate structure 2 of an arm rest device 20. A Y-shaped pawl member 7 is pivotally attached to a stationary plate 6 by a pivot shaft 14 and a toggle spring 8. The stationary plate 6 includes a proximal end portion fitted over a fixation shaft 5. A tooth pawl 13 formed in one end portion of the Y-shaped pawl member 7 is engaged with a row of serrated teeth 10 of the ratchet 3 within a predetermined extent (from point A to point B) of pivotal movement of the base plate structure 2, by reason of urging load P from the toggle spring 8. Thus, the arm rest body 18 is fixed at a predetermined position. An engagement groove 32A in the Y-shaped lever 32 prevents the arm rest body in an accommodated position from being pivoted in a forward direction.
