  • Publication number: 20230271566
    Abstract: To suppress reduction in detection accuracy of a sensor. A vehicle resin member (20) includes: a resin member (30) having an opening (32) that passes from a first surface (30A) on the outside of a vehicle to a second surface (30B) on the inside of the vehicle; a transmission member (42) exposed on the first surface (30A) through the opening (32); and a sensor (44) provided in a first direction from the first surface (30A) toward the second surface (30B) with respect to the transmission member (42). The vehicle resin member (20) is attached to a window member of the vehicle such that the opening (32) does not overlap the window member and is positioned out of reach of a wiper provided to the window member.

  • Patent number: 6609085
    Abstract: A method for storing time series data comprising storing short period data at an arbitrary sampling period and storing long period data at a sampling period longer than the arbitrary sampling period, in which the time series data are stored in a hierarchically correlated manner. Even when a great amount of data are stored, processes such as reading out, transferring, and displaying requisite data can be efficiently executed at high speed.
