Abstract: A method and a system for event validation on a vehicle. The method includes detecting an event determined by the vehicle. The method can include requesting and receiving external event determination, from at least one external source within a first surrounding area, based on the event. The method also includes generating an internal event determination based on the event and validating a validated event based on the both the external and internal event determinations. The method includes requesting and receiving external drive plan, from the external source within a second surrounding area, based on the validated event. The method also includes generating an internal drive plan, validating a validated drive plan based on the internal and external drive plans, and implementing the validated drive plan.

Abstract: Adjusting inconsistencies and inaccuracies in location perception, one or more computer processors identify data indicating a location of a computing device; detect a subsequent computing device within a threshold proximity to the computing device; receive data indicating a location of the subsequent computing device; determine a first location reliability score for the identified data indicating the location of a computing device and a second location reliability score for the received data indicating the location of the subsequent computing device; calculate one or more location corrective parameters for the computing device based, at least in part, on the identified data indicating the location of the computing device, the received data indicating the location of the subsequent computing device, the first location reliability score, and the second location reliability score; adjust the data indicating the location of the computing device based on the calculated one or more location corrective parameters.

Abstract: A diffractive optical element having, on a surface of a transparent substrate, a plurality of types of regions which provide different phase modulation to an incident light, wherein each of the regions has a microstructure formed with concave and convex portions of which sizes are smaller than the wavelength of the incident light, and wherein in the microstructure, a ratio of the width of the convex portion and the width of the concave portion in the concave and convex portions and the depth of the concave portion are different for each type of region.

Abstract: A contact state of a finger with respect to a first displayed object is detected. In response to detecting a double-click operation on the first displayed object at a first position in a depthwise direction, the first displayed object is moved onto a surface of a display screen of a three-dimensional (3-D) display. In response to detecting that the finger has moved from the contact state to a proximity state with respect to the first displayed object, a display position of the first displayed object is changed from the surface of the display screen to a depth position at which a second object is displayed at a nearest side in the depthwise direction among displayed objects. The second object remains displayed at the depth position beside the first object.

Abstract: A grommet which is configured to cover a periphery of a wire harness includes a panel mounting portion which is configured to be mounted to a panel. The panel mounting portion includes a base portion which is formed in an annular shape, a seal portion which is formed on the base portion and is configured to be in close contact with a surface of the panel, and a groove portion which is formed between the base portion and the seal portion along a peripheral direction of the panel mounting portion. A plurality of reinforcing ribs are configured to connect the base portion and the seal portion and are arranged in the peripheral direction in the groove portion, and the reinforcing ribs are inclined with respect to a mounting direction of the panel mounting portion to the panel.

The seal portion includes a support portion extending forward from the base portion in a mounting direction to the panel, an extension portion extending outward from the support portion in a radial direction, a lip portion formed on the extension portion such that the lip portion protrudes forward in the mounting direction, and a thin portion formed at a middle portion of the support portion in the mounting direction. The panel mounting portion is pressed against the panel, so that the support portion is elastically deformed at the thin portion. And, the lip portion is in close contact with the panel in a state of protruding forward in the mounting direction.

Abstract: A grommet includes a panel mounting portion to be mounted on a panel having an attachment hole, and an inner member to be assembled to the panel mounting portion and fitted into the attachment hole to lock an edge portion of the attachment hole. The panel mounting portion includes a base portion formed in an annular shape, a seal portion formed on the base portion, and a groove portion formed between the base portion and the seal portion, the groove portion being continuous in a peripheral direction. The inner member includes a restriction piece, which abuts against the edge portion of the attachment hole when the inner member is obliquely fitted into the attachment hole of the panel.

Abstract: A grommet which can maintain water tightness in response to inclination is provided. In an attachment section of the grommet, a substantially right-angled first bending portion is formed between a first flange portion and a tubular portion. Thus, when the attachment section is inclined with respect to a panel member, the first bending portion changes in angle, thereby absorbing the inclination, and thereby maintaining the contact between the annular lip portion and a planar portion. As a result, water tightness can be maintained in response to the inclination.

Abstract: A grommet which can prevent unintended deformation of an annular lip portion is provided. The annular lip portion is configured to be compressed in a compression direction corresponding to a direction perpendicular to a plane of a panel member. Thus, even if the annular lip portion is formed with a large length to ensure a pushing force against a planar portion, a tip edge of the annular lip portion is unlikely to be located in the vicinity of a first flange portion. Therefore, the annular lip portion is avoided from contacting the other members, preventing unintended deformation of the annular lip portion.

The card inverting unit may include a card holding part, a card drawing and feeding mechanism, and a rotating mechanism that rotates the card holding part. A conveyance path may be provided inside the card holding part. The conveyance path may be linear. The card drawing and feeding mechanism may include two drive rollers, and two pad rollers. A distance between a center of the drive roller and a center of the thermal head may be shorter than a length of the card. The thermal head may print on the card while the card conveyance mechanism conveys the card. The rotating mechanism may rotate the card holding part such that the conveyance path is inclined.

Abstract: A grommet which allows an annular lip portion to be pushed hardly against a panel member is provided. When the annular lip portion abuts on a planar portion on a radially inner side than an outer peripheral edge of a flange portion, a protruding portion of the annular lip portion is sandwiched between the planar portion and the flange portion. An inner member of a grommet is made of a material having a higher degree of hardness than the material of a body of the grommet, thereby allowing the annular lip portion to be pushed hardly against the panel member.

Abstract: A contact state of a finger with respect to a first displayed object is detected. In response to detecting a double-click operation on the first displayed object at a first position in a depthwise direction, the first displayed object is moved onto a surface of a display screen of a three-dimensional (3-D) display.
