  • Publication number: 20230369750
    Abstract: An in-vehicle antenna device is installed in a vehicle, and includes: an antenna substrate; a plurality of TEL antennas; and a GNSS antenna. In the TEL antenna, an antenna unit is a plate-like antenna which is electrically connected to the antenna substrate via a feeding unit and a GND ground unit. In the TEL antenna, the antenna unit is installed at a position separated by a predetermined length in a first direction that is a direction perpendicular to a substrate plane of the antenna substrate, in such a way as to be parallel to the substrate plane of the antenna substrate. The GNSS antenna is installed on the antenna substrate such that a distance between an upper surface of the GNSS antenna and the antenna substrate is shorter than the predetermined length in the first direction.

  • Patent number: 11335190
    Abstract: An acquisition unit acquires vehicle information related to a vehicle. An in-vehicle storage unit is provided in the vehicle and stores therein the vehicle information acquired by the acquisition unit. A transmission unit transmits the vehicle information acquired by the acquisition unit to an off-vehicle server located at an outside of the vehicle. A classification unit classifies the vehicle information acquired by the acquisition unit into information for transmission to be transmitted to the off-vehicle server or information for storage to be stored in the in-vehicle storage unit.

  • Patent number: 11267395
    Abstract: The information display system includes an antenna, a display unit, a processing unit, and a housing. The antenna receives outside information from an outside of a vehicle. The display unit performs display to the outside of the vehicle. The processing unit is capable of executing outside-targeted display processing by which to cause the display unit to perform display associated with the outside information by controlling the display unit based on the outside information received by the antenna. The housing is installed on the vehicle after having the antenna, the display unit, and the processing unit assembled thereto and thus unitized. As a result, the information display system produces the effect of enabling beneficial information to be provided to the outside of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 5378411
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns an automatic choke system designed to make a whole carburetor shorter and more compact. The system comprises a case body having a generally inverted L-shape, with a thermo-element housed in a vertical portion of the case body. A thermistor proximate to thermally expanding wax inside the thermo-element is heated up by electric current, which increases its own electric resistance with the increasing heat. A piston is projected from the top end of the thermo-element by the thermal expansion of the wax. A link housed in the horizontal portion of the case body is pivotally supported therein so as to move a moving part downward when the link is acted on by the piston. The moving part pushes down a starter valve to close a by-pass passageway as well as push down a needle to close an auxiliary fuel passageway.
