  • Patent number: 9442289
    Abstract: An display apparatus, for a vehicle, according to one embodiment includes a substrate housing portion, an optical unit, a turning member, and a plate-like attachment plate. The substrate housing portion contains a circuit substrate for outputting an image signal of an image to be displaced. The optical unit generates an image based on the image signal outputted from the circuit substrate and projects the generated image. The combiner is provided at one end of the optical unit, and the image is projected onto the combiner. The turning member connects the optical unit to the substrate housing portion in a freely rotatable manner. The plate-like attachment plate is used to mount the substrate housing portion to a rear-view mirror such that the optical unit is freely rotatable without coming into contact with the rear-view mirror inside a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9317539
    Abstract: If the operations manager makes configuration changes of the log database through configuration management interface, the configuration management interface records configuration information thereof on an management database. Furthermore, when log data of a monitoring target device are collected in a log collection unit through the log database, a log data volume analysis unit reads utilization information of data volume of the log database, and records the reading on a management database. A configuration changes proposal generating unit automatically generates configuration changes proposal of the log database based on the information recorded on the management database.
