Abstract: A driving support device comprises a passing determination unit which determines whether an own vehicle is going to pass by a stopped vehicle stopped in an adjacent lane adjacent to a traveling lane on which the own vehicle is traveling; and a notification control unit which issues warning notification when it is determined that the own vehicle is going to pass by the stopped vehicle.

Abstract: In a receiver circuit, a binary signal is generated based on a signal level of a received signal that has been received via a transmission line from a driver of a transmitter circuit. Then, a first stable state and a second stable state are detected based on a reference signal whose signal level changes in accordance with the received signal. In the first stable state, the received signal is stable at a first signal level. In the second stable state, the received signal is stable at a second signal level. When the first stable state is detected and the received signal is changed from the first signal level into the second signal level, the generated binary signal is retained at a signal level corresponding to the second signal level, until the second stable state is detected.

Abstract: A driving support apparatus has a display mounted in a vehicle, a driving information receiving unit receiving a steering angle of a steering wheel of the vehicle, and a control unit. The control unit produces a vehicle figure imitating a shape of the vehicle and a tire figure imitating a shape of a tire of the vehicle in a bird's-eye view, calculates a predicted running locus of the vehicle, detects positions of portions of an obstacle facing the vehicle one after another, and controls the display to display a driving support image including the vehicle figure, the tire figure, the running locus and obstacle detecting marks indicating the positions of the obstacle while changing a direction of the tire figure with respect to the vehicle figure according to the steering angle. A driver recognizes a turning rate of the vehicle from the direction of the tire figure.

Abstract: Proper correction data is set by scanning a test chart even if the test chart has pixel lines formed thereon as inclined with respect to a secondary scanning direction. A virtual line CL is determined in a middle position in a primary scanning direction on the test chart, which extends between center indices 43C and 44C at opposite ends in the secondary scanning direction of the test chart. A scanning lines SL extending parallel to the virtual line CL is set to each pixel line Q. Sampling areas SQ are set on the scanning line SL. Density data is acquired from a plurality of sampling points formed in each sampling area SQ.

Abstract: A printing apparatus in which it is possible to set proper correction data by eliminating an erroneous operation of an operator is constructed. A code indicating the type of used printing paper P is formed on a test chart TC. When the correction data is generated, a printing paper type specifying section 25B of correction data generating means 25 judges whether the printing paper is proper or not based on the code, by setting the test chart TC on a flatbed scanner 5 and performing pre-scan on it. If it is the test chart TC using proper printing paper, then the density data in a plurality of pixel lines constituting the chart is acquired and the correction data is generated by performing the main scan, and the correction data is stored in a correction table 35 in association with the type of the printing paper.
