Abstract: A vehicular cleaning system performs cleaning to remove foreign matter attached to a cleaning target in a vehicle. The vehicular cleaning system includes: an air pump driven to generate an air spray; a washer pump driven to supply a washing solution; a spray nozzle which blows an air-liquid mixed fluid, obtained by mixing the air spray and the washing solution, onto the cleaning target; a washing solution storage unit configured to store the washing solution supplied from the washer pump, and to be capable of discharging the stored washing solution when the washing solution is to be mixed with the air spray; and a mixing and outputting unit configured to blow the air-liquid mixed fluid, obtained by mixing the air spray and the washing solution introduced from the washing solution storage unit, from the spray nozzle toward the cleaning target.

Abstract: A vehicle cleaning system includes a drive pump, an ejection nozzle and a valve device. The valve device includes an intake passage, a valve that closes the intake passage and accumulates pressure of the fluid supplied to the intake passage, a discharge passage, and an auxiliary mechanism. The auxiliary mechanism generates leakage of the fluid from the intake passage during the pressure accumulation to accumulate pressure with the leakage at a leaked side, opens the valve body based on two pressures accumulated in the intake passage and the leaked side, outputs the fluid, which is pressure-accumulated in the intake passage, to the discharge passage by opening the valve body, and closes the valve body as the fluid is output to the discharge passage to allow for re-accumulation of the pressure in the intake passage.

Abstract: An imaging device images rearward of a vehicle through a windshield from inside a cabin of the vehicle, and a vehicle washing device includes a wiping device and a controller. The wiping device is capable of reciprocatingly wiping a predetermined range of the windshield. The predetermined range of the windshield includes an imaging range for the imaging device. The controller switches operation of the wiping device to one of a first mode or a second mode in accordance with an input. In the first mode, the wiping device wipes the predetermined range of the windshield. In the second mode, the wiping device wipes the imaging range of the windshield preferentially compared to the first mode.

Abstract: A vehicle cleaning device removes an extraneous object collected on a cleaning subject of a vehicle. The vehicle cleaning device includes: a cleaning liquid supply device mounted on the vehicle; and a wiper device including a wiper driver and a wiper blade. The wiper driver includes a linear movement portion that produces a linear movement based on supply of a cleaning liquid that is pressure-fed from the cleaning liquid supply device, and a movement converter that converts the linear movement into a pivoting movement. The wiper blade is arranged to be contactable with the cleaning subject. The wiper device is configured to cause the wiper blade to perform a reciprocal wiping operation based on the pivoting movement of the movement converter.

Abstract: A valve device includes a washing inlet, outlets, a switching inlet, a movable switching member, and a conversion engagement portion. The outlets is configured to be in communication with the washing inlet. The movable switching member is movable in a linear direction based on a pressure of a fluid that is fed to the switching inlet. The conversion engagement portion converts linear movement of the movable switching member into a rotation of a predetermined angle.

Abstract: The disclosed image processing apparatus (10) includes a communication interface (12) and a processor (13). The processor (13) detects an image of an object from a surrounding image capturing the surroundings of a moveable body (1) and determines an action of the moveable body (1) based on the state of the detected object. The communication interface (12) outputs, to the moveable body (1), an instruction to perform the determined action. The processor (14) determines a first action of the moveable body (1) based on the state of the object detected from the surrounding image and outputs an instruction to perform the determined first action to the moveable body (1) via the communication interface (12). The processor (14) determines a second action of the moveable body (1) based on the state of the object detected from the surrounding image after the first action by the moveable body (1).

Abstract: In a wound electrode group, a positive electrode includes positive electrode active material layers formed on both surfaces of a band-like positive electrode current collector, and a negative electrode includes negative electrode active material layers on both surfaces of a band-like negative electrode current collector. Charge capacity of the negative electrode falls within a range of 83-99% of theoretical capacity of the negative electrode in a full charge state of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. An active material mass M1 per unit area of a negative electrode active material layer formed on an outer circumference of the negative electrode current collector, and an active material mass M2 per unit area of a negative electrode active material layer formed on an inner circumference satisfy a relational expression of M1/M2<(R1+t/2)/(R1?t/2), where the electrode group has an innermost diameter of R1, and the negative electrode has a thickness of t.
