    Abstract: Vehicle headlights are equipped with a right-side lamp, a left-side lamp, and a control unit. A right-side light distribution pattern and a left-side light distribution pattern include an overlapping area and a non-overlapping area. In a case where the steering angle is greater than the prescribed angle, the control unit controls power supplied to light-emitting parts of the right-side lamp and power supplied to light-emitting parts of the left-side lamp such that: a first area of a first light distribution pattern is located in the non-overlapping area; a second area of a second light distribution pattern is located in the overlapping area; and a first intensity of the light in the first area becomes greater than the sum of a second intensity of the light in the second area and a third intensity of the light in the area overlapping the second area within the first light distribution pattern.

  • Patent number: 11920508
    Abstract: An anomaly determination device, an anomaly determination method, and a memory medium for a water pump are provided. An acquisition process acquires an input variable of a map from image data obtained by capturing an outer surface of the water pump. Execution circuitry obtains provisional determination results from maps, respectively. The provisional determination results are respectively obtained by executing the provisional determination processes for output variables output from the maps. A determination finalizing process treats, as a majority of the provisional determination results, a final determination result indicating whether coolant has leaked out of the water pump.
