Abstract: A radiator core support is made by an insert injection molding method. Four core members shaped in a triangular prism are built into a quadric-prism core and inserted into a rectangular tube, an upper radiator core support member. Then, an outwardly pressing member is inserted into a longitudinal slanted hole of the core to move and contact its members to the inner surfaces of the tube. The tube is located in a mold, into which molten molding material is injected. The tube is overmolded at the tops of a hood lock stay, and right and left side support members, being integrally formed out of resin. After cooling, the method includes drawing the pressing member from the core; then the core from the mold; and the molded part is removed from the mold.

Abstract: A laser radar scanningly irradiates electromagnetic waves around a subject vehicle detects the electromagnetic waves reflected from objects around the subject vehicle, and outputs detected distances from the subject vehicle to the objects in the respective directions of scanning irradiation. A recognition unit detects, based on the detection results of the laser radar, a relative position and a relative speed of each of the objects around the subject vehicle with respect to the subject vehicle. The recognition unit stores whether or not detection points data (i.e., a direction of scanning irradiation and a detected distance in that direction) exists and determines attributes such as positions, sizes, etc., of the objects lying around the subject vehicle. In coordination with the recognition unit, an object tracker calculates relative speeds as between the vehicle and detected objects, with particular reference to objects exhibiting a greater difference in relative speed over time.
