  • Publication number: 20240140341
    Abstract: An occupant protection device which can protect an occupant without delay is provided. An image taken by an imaging device is analyzed to judge whether there is an object approaching the subject car. In the case where a collision between the object and the subject car is judged to be inevitable, an airbag device is activated before the collision, whereby the occupant can be protected without delay. By using selenium for a light-receiving element of the imaging device, an accurate image can be obtained even under low illuminance. Imaging in a global shutter system leads to an accurate image with little distortion. This enables more accurate image analysis.

  • Patent number: 11961979
    Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of charging that is less likely to cause deterioration of a power storage device is provided. The amount of a charging current is adjusted in accordance with the ambient temperature. Charging under low-temperature environments is performed with a reduced charging current. When the ambient temperature is too low or too high, the charging is stopped. Measurement of the ambient temperature is performed with a memory element using an oxide semiconductor. The use of a memory element using an oxide semiconductor enables measurement of the ambient temperature and retention of the temperature information to be performed at the same time.
