Abstract: High-accuracy multimodal biometric authentication of a plurality of body organisms is achieved while suppressing postural fluctuation when the plurality of body organisms are captured. An authentication system stores feature quantities for body organisms in association with users and performs biometric authentication on the basis of images from a capture device. The capture device photographs a first body organism of a first user during a first period and captures a second body organism and a third body organism of the first user during a second period. The authentication processing device calculates a first feature quantity from the first body part photographed during the first period, respectively calculates a second feature quantity and a third feature quantity from the second body organism and the third body organism captured during the second period, and compares with the feature quantities for the body organisms of each user stored at the storage device.

Abstract: A photographing apparatus includes: an imaging unit which is arranged at a position opposed to a plurality of fingers to be presented, and is configured to image the plurality of fingers; and a plurality of light sources which are arranged in plurality in an array direction of the plurality of fingers, and are configured to irradiate the plurality of fingers with light from an outside of an opposing region in which the imaging unit is opposed to the plurality of fingers toward an inside of the opposing region.

Abstract: A vehicle door lock apparatus includes: a latch mechanism; a casing including two guide surfaces facing each other; a first member supported to be rotatably movable between a first position and a second position with respect to the casing; a second member supported to be movable with respect to the casing and elastically biased toward a third position, the second member being configured to move the first member; a key switch; and a third member whose one end portion is rotatably coupled to the second member and whose other end portion is provided with a sliding portion between the two guide surfaces, the third member being configured to switch ON and OFF of the key switch by moving with respect to the casing in conjunction with movement of the second member. The sliding portion of the third member has a substantially circular shape.

Abstract: A vehicle door lock device includes: a latch rotatable between a full-latch position where a vehicle door is retained in a fully closed state by an engagement with a striker, a half-latch position where the door is retained in a half door state by the engagement, and an unlatch position where the striker does not engage with the latch; a pawl rotatable between a state where rotating in a direction to release the engagement is regulated, and a state where the latch does not engage with the pawl; a pawl lever rotatable between a state where rotating in a direction to release the engagement is regulated and a state where the latch does not engage with the pawl lever; a lift lever rotating with the pawl integrally; and an open link capable of pushing the lift lever.

Abstract: A vehicle door lock device includes: a latch rotatable to a full latch position at which the latch is engaged with a striker, an unlatch position at which the latch releases the striker, and a half latch position between the full latch position and the unlatch position and at which the latch is engaged with the striker; a pawl rotatable between an engagement position at which the pawl is engaged with the latch located at the full latch position and a non-engagement position at which the pawl releases the engagement with the latch; and a block lever rotatable between a rotation restriction position at which the block lever is engaged with the pawl to hold the pawl at the engagement position and a rotation non-restriction position at which the block lever does not restrict the rotation of the pawl.
