Abstract: A connector unit of a drive device includes an electric power supply connector, a signal connector, a base portion and leg portions and is fixed to an opposite side of a heat sink, which is opposite from an electric motor. The leg portions are formed at an outer peripheral edge of the base portion. A cover member receives the connector unit and the heat sink in the state where the electric power supply connector and the signal connector are exposed from the cover member. A connector side O-ring is installed between the base portion and the cover member. A height position of a first end surface of each leg portion is on a first side of a second base end surface of the base portion. With this construction, it is possible to limit deterioration of waterproofness of the drive device caused by a thermal load.

Abstract: Tracking candidate storage means 81 stores a plurality of candidates for one or more objects to be tracked. Control means 82 controls a likelihood of each of the plurality of candidates. The tracking candidate storage means 81 stores, for each of the plurality of candidates, label information identifying which object the candidate corresponds to, position information indicating a position of the object, and a likelihood. The control means 82 controls the likelihood of a candidate, according to the label information of one or more other candidates around the candidate determined based on the position information of the candidate.

Abstract: In two systems of three-phase alternating-current inverter devices that drive a motor, power elements on power supply sides of bridge circuits are mounted on unit bases to constitute upper arm units. Power elements on ground sides of the bridge circuits are mounted on unit bases to constitute lower arm units. The upper arm units and the lower arm units are arranged separately on upper surfaces and outside surfaces of heat dissipation blocks of a heat sink. Heats generated by the power elements do not interfere with each other and are emitted to the heat sink, whereby heat dissipation performance of the power elements constituting the bridge circuits is improved.
