  • Patent number: 11898370
    Abstract: [PROBLEMS] Providing a house by which exhaust heat from equipment provided in a wall of the house does not adversely affect the environment in a living space, the maintenance, management, and update of the equipment can be easily performed, and crime prevention performance of an accommodating place of the equipment can be improved. [SOLUTIONS] The exhaust heat from the equipment 48 accommodated in the hollow portion 37 can be released to the second space 6 of the garage. Further, the electronic lock 45 of the door 43 for opening and closing the outdoor side opening portion 35 of the hollow portion 37 can be unlocked only for a preset time. Therefore, since unlocking is disabled except for the preset time, the maintenance, management, and update of the equipment 48 can be easily performed, and the crime prevention performance can be further improved.

  • Publication number: 20220381913
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a distance measurement sensor, a signal processing method, and a distance measurement module that make it possible to detect that an object to be measured is a specular reflector. The distance measurement sensor includes a signal processing unit that calculates a distance to an object and a degree of confidence, from a signal obtained by a light receiving unit that receives reflected light that is returned light obtained by reflecting irradiation light emitted from a predetermined light emitting source by the object, and outputs a determination flag determining whether the object that is an object to be measured is a specular reflector having a high reflectance. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a distance measurement module that measures a distance to a subject, and the like.

  • Patent number: 6944696
    Abstract: A bus arbitration apparatus for an image processing processor is operable such that when a channel having a high necessity of a real-time processing operation issues a bus use request, a bus use permission is not given to another channel having a low necessity of a real-time processing operation. The bus arbitrator of the data includes a timer for counting down use permission time with respect to the channel having the high necessity of the real-time processing operation, and a register for the channel having the low necessity of the real-time processing operation. A value larger than a maximum value of the timer is set to the value of the register. In the bus arbitration, the value of the register is compared with that of the timer, and then the bus use permission is given to a channel having the small value.
