  • Publication number: 20210284188
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is installed in a vehicle which is an example of a moving body. The electronic apparatus includes a manual operation unit configured to receive an input, a control unit configured to perform control according to the input received by the manual operation unit, and an opening/closing-information acquisition unit configured to acquire opening/closing information of an opening/closing part of a vehicle. When the opening/closing information acquired by the opening/closing-information acquisition unit indicates that the opening/closing part is in a closed state, the control unit disables the input received by the manual operation unit.

  • Publication number: 20190359058
    Abstract: A driving assistance device includes a unit to acquire a degree of a velocity change of a subject vehicle; a unit to acquire a relative velocity of the subject vehicle with respect to a preceding vehicle; a unit to acquire an inter-vehicle distance between the subject vehicle and the preceding vehicle; a unit to determine whether the subject vehicle is in a proximity state with respect to the preceding vehicle based on the relative velocity and the inter-vehicle distance; and an alarm control unit to set an alarm timing that is a timing at which an alarm is output to a driver of the subject vehicle, based on a timing at which it is determined that the proximity state has occurred. The alarm control unit changes the alarm timing based on the degree of the velocity change of the subject vehicle acquired after determination that the proximity state has occurred.

  • Patent number: 7210915
    Abstract: A powder compacting apparatus (1) has a top plate (3), a die plate (9) and a bottom plate (12), combined with each other as follows. The top plate (3) holds upper punches (4) in place by punch holders (5), and the die plate (9) firmly grips a die holder (8) holding dies (7). The bottom plate (12) keeps lower punches (11) in place gripped by clamps (32) so that an amount of powder fed into each die (7) is compacted to give a consolidated powder piece. The die plate (9) is composed of an upper part (9a) and a lower part (9b) so that the die holder (8) is sandwiched by and between the parts (9a, 9b), in such a manner that these parts cooperate with each other to secure each die (7) in position.
