  • Patent number: 10532745
    Abstract: A monitor unit of a vehicle acquires an object left-right difference parameter corresponding to a command left-right difference parameter or corresponding to a measurement left-right difference parameter. The monitor unit compares the object left-right difference parameter and a first left-right difference threshold. If the object left-right difference parameter exceeds a first left-right difference threshold, the monitor unit limits the motive power of a first rotary electric machine and a second rotary electric machine.

  • Patent number: 5495462
    Abstract: When a laser beam enters into a grating coupler at a right angle, a guided wave with a wave mode corresponding to an incident angle can be generated. Although the guided wave is a light beam in single mode, the waveguide mode is deflected by passing through a step-wise structure and is converted into several guided waves having several modes. When the guided waves are radiated from a straight output grating coupler, the radiant angle is dependent upon the waveguide mode, so beams are radiated in different directions according to their respective waveguide modes. Therefore, a guided wave in zero-order mode outputs a radiant beam having a larger radiant angle, while a guided wave in first-order mode outputs a radiant beam having a smaller radiant angle.
