Abstract: A charging support device is used in charging a battery of a vehicle having a power reception unit on a bottom surface of the vehicle with power supplied from a power transmission device located outside the vehicle. The charging support device includes a controller that generates an overhead view image that displays a vehicle image of the vehicle and an image of a surrounding area of the vehicle captured by a camera. The controller displays, in the overhead view image, (i) a first mark indicating a position of the power reception unit and (ii) a second mark indicating a position of the power transmission device. The controller varies a color or a size of the second mark in a case where a positional relationship between the position of the power reception unit and the position of the power transmission device achieves a predetermined charging efficiency.

The charging support device includes a controller that generates an overhead image that displays a vehicle image of the vehicle and an image of a surrounding area of the vehicle captured by a camera. The controller calculates a position of the power transmission device based on an image captured by the camera before the power transmission device becomes at least partially hidden under the vehicle, and displays, in the generated overhead image, the power transmission device overlaid on the vehicle image at the calculated position of the power transmission device once the power transmission device starts becoming hidden under the vehicle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting timing pulses for descrambling a scrambled television signal, wherein a video IF signal and a sound IF signal are separated from a scrambled television IF signal by utilizing different filters, a local video carrier wave synchronized with the separated video IF signal is generated and is mixed with the separated sound IF signal for producing a beat signal, the timing pulses are detected by demodulating the main sound IF signal, and then descrambling the received scrambled television IF signal by stretching horizontal synchronizing intervals in accordance with stretch data obtained by decoding compression data contained the detected timing pulses, whereby the main sound IF signal is separated from the beat signal by attenuating the auxiliary sound IF signal with a bandpass filter.
