Patent number: 11881065Abstract: An information recording device acquires outside image information corresponding to an outside image obtained by photographing the outside of a moving body from the moving body; acquires autonomous driving information indicating a state of autonomous driving control of the moving body; acquires display information for simultaneously displaying at least a part of the outside image and an autonomous driving state image indicating the state of the autonomous driving control at a time of photographing the outside image, based on the outside image information and the autonomous driving information; and records the display information in a recording medium. The autonomous driving state image includes brake information indicating whether braking of the moving body is under the autonomous driving control.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2023Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: PIONEER CORPORATIONInventors: Morimichi Nozawa, Takayoshi Kobayashi, Masao Nakane

Patent number: 11827169Abstract: An accident determination device comprising: a first sensor that detects an impact having occurred in a moving object; a second sensor that acquires position information of the moving object; an area determining unit that determines the area attribute of the area where said moving object is located; and a processor that compares impact value of the impact with a determination threshold. The processor sets the determination threshold according to the area attribute defined by the area determining unit. When the area attribute of the area indicates a parking space, the processor sets said determination threshold to be at a lower value than when the area attribute indicates a road. The processor determines whether the accident has occurred based on the result of comparing the impact value with said determination threshold.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventor: Takayoshi Kobayashi

Patent number: 6444300Abstract: A cyanine pigment and a polyvinylalcohol are dissolved into a water to make a mezzo-J-association body dispersed solution. Then, the mezzo-J-association body dispersed solution is maintained at a high viscosity by holding the solution at a given temperature. Subsequently, the mezzo-J-association body dispersed solution is dropped onto a given substrate and thereafter, rubbed. Thereby, the J-association body oriented dispersion film having the J-association bodies composed of the associated and oriented cyanine pigments in polarization can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2000Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Assignee: The University of TokyoInventors: Takayoshi Kobayashi, Kazuhiko Misawa

Patent number: 4028510Abstract: An apparatus actuated by seismic vibrations and other vibrations is disclosed.A vertically or substantially vertically movable rod, a weight or mass in engagement or capable of engagement with the rod and a plurality of pivotable stays or support arms supporting the weight are provided within a housing, and held in a mechanically balanced state in their entirety. When the apparatus undergoes seismic or other vibrations, the mechanical balance is disturbed, whereupon the weight is released from the support arms and allowed to fall together with the vertically movable rod due to the gravitational force, thereby effecting the switching of a related fluid or electric circuit.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1975Date of Patent: June 7, 1977Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Shinko SeisakushoInventors: Yoshitomo Yamaura, Takayoshi Kobayashi, Akira Asanuma, Kuichiro Miyazawa
