  • Patent number: 10269331
    Abstract: A display control device for a vehicle includes: a display controller that displays a determined display image including a display of a traveling state of the vehicle on a windshield of the vehicle; a visibility reducing area detector that detects a presence or an absence of a visibility reducing area on the windshield, the visibility reducing area reduces visibility of a driver; and a gaze detector that detects a gaze of the driver. When the visibility reducing area is detected, but the display of the traveling state does not overlap with the visibility reducing area, and the driver keeps the gaze on the visibility reducing area, the display controller displays, on the visibility reducing area, a traveling direction information necessary for driving the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10235611
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a processing unit group forming section, a converting section, and plural raster image processors. The processing unit group forming section forms plural processing unit groups by grouping plural processing units included in a print job. The converting section converts, for each of the plural processing units, the print job into intermediate data so as to form plural intermediate data groups corresponding to the plural processing unit groups. The plural raster image processors correspond to the plural intermediate data groups, each of the plural raster image processors performing a conversion process of converting a corresponding one of the plural intermediate data groups into raster data.

  • Patent number: 10185901
    Abstract: Provided is an image processing apparatus including a print image generation section that generates print image data to be supplied to a printing device by executing a rasterizing process and an additional process for printing on print data, and an image density calculation section that executes the rasterizing process on the print data without the additional process and calculates image density information used in control of an image forming process in the printing device from raster image data generated through the rasterizing process to process the print data at a speed higher than a speed in print image generation section, wherein a difference in a processing speed between the print image generation section and the image density calculation section causes image density information of a page prior to a page of the print image data printed by the printing device to be supplied to the printing device.

  • Patent number: 10167950
    Abstract: When engagement of a lockup clutch is initiated, coupling of the lockup clutch is initiated in a state where a working fluid amount is sufficiently ensured by setting a condition that an engine rotation speed is higher than or equal to a limit engine rotation speed. Thus, it is possible to prevent rapid engagement of the lockup clutch. Here, the limit engine rotation speed is appropriately determined on the basis of a line pressure, and it is possible to reduce a delay of coupling of the lockup clutch by ensuring the working fluid amount while preventing rapid engagement of the lockup clutch.
