  • Patent number: 10474337
    Abstract: A vehicular information display apparatus is provided which includes a display apparatus provided in a vehicle compartment and a display controller for controlling display of the display apparatus and is arranged to display specific information about a vehicle in a form to include a graphic on a screen of the display apparatus. The vehicular information display apparatus switches between a first display mode in which the specific information is displayed on a display region in the screen of the display apparatus and a second display mode in which the specific information is displayed on a display region smaller than the first display mode in the screen of the display apparatus. The display controller displays the graphic of the specific information by changing an orientation or a shape of the graphic when the display region is changed.

  • Patent number: 7825953
    Abstract: A vehicle is provided with two circular fish-eye lens-type cameras and three displays of a rear-window display, rear-pillar display, and side-window display. The first camera takes an image from a first region rearward of the vehicle; the second camera takes an image from a second region left sideward of the vehicle. The first and second regions are partially overlapped. Ultrawide-angle image data of the taken images are converted to typical lens image data, a part of which is clipped to correspond to an integrated region. The integrated region including a part of the first and second regions is viewed by an artificial driver sightline, which is assumed to pass through entire frames of the three displays to reach the integrated region. The three displays then reproduce an image of the integrated region without overlap based on the clipped image data.

  • Patent number: 7490335
    Abstract: A disk tray includes a storage concave portion that is to store a disk-shaped recording medium. The disk tray is supported by a carrying mechanism to thereby be carried from an opening portion provided to a front face of an apparatus main body (main body of an apparatus for storing the disk tray) over a range between the inside and outside of the apparatus main body, the disk tray comprising. The disk tray further includes a buffer material provided on a peripheral surface of the storage concave portion that stores the disk-shaped recording medium. Thereby, the disk-shaped recording medium, such as an optical disk, is restrained from being crushed even when being rotationally driven at high speed.

  • Patent number: 7340947
    Abstract: A spindle direction engaging device moves at least one of spindles in a mutually separating direction to closely engage a lock piece or a lock portion in a spindle direction of spindles while the lock piece is locked to the lock portion when a tire is not mounted. A second spindle includes a groove extending in a peripheral direction along an outer periphery thereof in sliding contact with the lock piece; sliding surfaces of the lock piece and the groove are receiving portions formed as flat surfaces to receive separating forces acting on both the spindles. A correction device corrects a gap between an inner ring of the spindle bearing and rolling elements of the spindle bearing, or a gap between an outer ring of the spindle bearing and the rolling elements of the spindle bearing, while the spindle is rotating. Preload bolts include a coolant passage formed by hollowing a corresponding portion passing a mounting hole of a detector, and a coolant can thus be supplied to the coolant passage.
