  • Patent number: 10204277
    Abstract: An electronic device having a function of identifying a lane on which a vehicle is traveling based on imaging data includes a white line recognition unit for recognizing a white line based on imaging data taken by a rear camera, a lane width detection unit for detecting a lane width by measuring distances from the vehicle to the right white line and to the left white line, a lane change detection unit for detecting a lane change based on the detection result by the lane width detection unit, a lane number increase detection unit for detection an increase in the number of lanes based on the detection result by the lane width detection unit, and a traveling lane identifying unit for identifying a lane on which the vehicle is traveling based on the detection results of the lane width detection unit and the lane number increase detection unit.

  • Patent number: 5304234
    Abstract: A gas separation process and a unit therefor. The process comprises the steps of: introducing a gas consisting of two or more components into an adsorption system in which adsorbent particles circulate in a fluidized state, thereby to allow, at atmospheric pressure or an elevated pressure, the adsorbent particles to adsorb a gas component to be separated from the gas; transferring the adsorbent particles adsorbing the gas component to a desorption system; and then desorbing the gas component from the adsorbent particles in the desorption system which is regulated to have either a lower pressure or a lower pressure and a higher temperature than the adsorption system.

  • Patent number: 5283892
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for file operation comprise a file operation method which enters, prior to the file operation, processing methods for exceptional events which are expected to occur during the file operation, a file operation method which, at the occurrence of an exceptional event during a file operation, holds the file operation, saves information pertinent to the held file into a memory, and inquires the user of the processing method of the held file for the exceptional event, and a file operation method which displays a list of hierarchically organized files at multiple levels so that multiple files can be designated as objects of operations.

  • Patent number: 5142618
    Abstract: A document creating apparatus for creating and editing a document in which a plurality of different types of descriptive element data, such as text data, graph data, pattern data, image data and other data, coexist. Plural types of edit sections are provided in correspondence with the types of data to be handled. Various types of data are edited under coordination by selecting edit sections corresponding to the types of data, respectively, while maintaining the editing function of the editing section once selected and activated so that the editing section can be selected again without losing its editing function.
