  • Patent number: 10896336
    Abstract: To provide a parking space recognition apparatus that can reduce a processing load for detecting the parking space. The parking space recognition apparatus recognizes a parking space by using images generated by four cameras to be mounted on a vehicle. In the parking space recognition apparatus, an image acquisition part acquires the images generated by the cameras. A detection setter selects the cameras to be used for detecting the parking space from among the cameras based on a traveling state of the vehicle. A parking space detector acquires the images generated by the cameras selected by the detection setter from the image acquisition part, and detects the parking space from the acquired images.

  • Patent number: 10709204
    Abstract: A shoe (34) of the present invention includes a sole (32) and an upper (33). The upper (33) is composed of a fabric having a knit structure, and contains fiber reinforcement portions (23, 24, and 25) in predetermined portions of the upper (33) integrally. The fiber reinforcement portions (23, 24, and 25) are formed of a float stitch with a plurality of float stitch yarns (19). The shoe of the present invention imparts a proper fit to a wearer's foot by forming the upper composed of the fabric having the knit structure that stretches properly. Also, in the case where the direction of foot force is suddenly changed while the sole contacts the ground, the shoe can hold the foot in desired predetermined positions by the fiber reinforcement portions situated in predetermined positions of the upper integrally. Thus, the present invention provides a shoe having proper holding properties while maintaining fitting properties.
